"I cannot find a Doctor who knows about Bioidentical Hormones OR I cannot afford the office visit.   Is there anything I can do myself to Balance My Hormones?"

Don't be dismayed.  You are not alone AND there are some easy things you can do to help yourself.  Actually, even with insurance
coverage and no financial concerns, many women are still becoming their own health advocate...as evidenced by the many women's health websites that have recently been established, not to mention the plethora of chat rooms wherein women are counseling and advising each other.  Hormone balance discussions are a good thing because there are some simple natural remedies to many of the symptoms that do not require a doctor visit or a prescription medication.  Remember..menopause is a transition, not a disease and women throughout the years have been going through it without being under a doctor's care.

Now, do not misunderstand me.  I have worked in and with the medical community for over 30 years and I deeply respect physicians.  However, it is true that many doctors either will not accept insurance, do not have knowledge of bioidentical hormones and thus continue to prescribe synthetic hormones, or charge office visit fees that are not affordable for many women.  I know of one woman who paid over $500 for her "hormone evaluation".  Just today, I heard of a doctor who is charging $1500 to become one of one of the doctor's hormone patients!
