[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend doing some research before finding a provider - there are a lot of charlatans in this area. For example, there’s no need to test hormone levels, let alone do regular testing of them. HRT does not actually replace hormones, but is used to treat symptoms. Your hormone levels are not that useful because that doesn’t account for how well your hormone receptors are functioning. Also, most physicians will give you bad advice about vitamins, telling you that you don’t need them because your levels are “normal” but the fact is that menopausal women function better with higher levels of D and iron, for example. But if you go to a naturopath, they will often try to sell you high priced supplements, which can be sketchy.[/quote] All true except there is no evidence that supplemental D changes any outcomes at all, including fractures, unfortunately. There was an article in the NEJM showing this a couple of years ago.[/quote]
