This week I'm going back thousands of years to discuss the history of bioidentical hormone creams, what they started out as, and the timeline that has brought them to where they are today. I unravel the science behind over-the-counter creams, guiding you on how to select quality products and when it might be time to consider hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the broader advantages of HRT, touching on its potential to reduce health risks and enhance mental clarity, all while maintaining a radiant complexion.
