Hormone Therapy: Then and Now – A Safer Path to Aging Victoriously

In my previous newsletter, I explored how meditation can help turn off stress and turn back time from the inside out. Today, I want to introduce another protocol that many women—including myself—consider on the journey of aging victoriously: hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

For many, this can feel like a scary and confusing subject. My intention is to help you better understand what it can do for you and how it has personally transformed my life.

A Look Back

For many years, hormone therapy was the go-to solution for easing the discomfort of menopause. In the 1960s and 70s, women were often prescribed synthetic hormones—powerful medications that promised youth and vitality. But by the early 2000s, large studies revealed troubling risks: higher chances of blood clots, breast cancer, and heart disease.

Understandably, many women turned away from hormone therapy altogether.

The Good News

Today, thanks to science and a deeper understanding of the body, there are safer and more natural options. My favorite is bioidentical hormone therapy—hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally makes. They are usually derived from plant sources such as soy or yams and then processed to match human hormones at the molecular level.

I have been using bioidentical hormones for more than 15 years, and I don’t know what I would do without them. This treatment helped me overcome sudden menopause depression, debilitating migraines, and a loss of sexual drive. I also believe that my skin, muscle tone, and overall vitality are much younger than they would normally be without this therapy.

What You May Not Know

Bioidentical hormone therapy not only helps prevent bone loss and reduces the risk of osteoporosis, but also supports heart health. It relieved my depression, eased anxiety, improved mood swings, and even lifted the dreaded “brain fog.”

Many women also struggle with weight gain after menopause, especially belly fat. Well, my dear friends, I am not trying to show off, but I can share with you that my weight and body shape have remained stable—and I am convinced it’s thanks to bioidentical hormones.

At one point, I was going from doctor to doctor—one for migraines, another for depression—and things only got worse. What truly helped was finding a doctor in functional medicine who looked at the whole picture. Within a month, I felt like myself again.

Key Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

• Customized to your individual needs, not “one-size-fits-all.”

• Safer delivery methods such as creams, patches, or gels that bypass the liver and lower clotting risks.

• Closely monitored with regular testing to keep hormone levels balanced and safe.

Get Ready For…

• Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and bone loss.

• A happy sex life, a fit body, and renewed energy.

• And of course, a life filled with joie de vivre!

  I understand that hormone therapy is not for everyone. But for many women, it can be the key to aging more comfortably, vibrantly, and victoriously.

Victory to you, Victory is yours—claim it
