Menopausal women in America often do not obtain optimal health and a wholesome quality of life because of confusion and misunderstanding concerning hormone replacement therapy. Practitioners often resort to the status quo and are paralyzed into immobility.

Managing Menopause with Bio-Identical Hormones lays out a safe, evidence-based protocol for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy that can help alleviate the fears associated with prescribing a hormone replacement therapy. Policy makers, educators, and healthcare professionals can become more adept at serving menopausal women through the use of this protocol and menopausal women can enjoy a higher quality of life.
