Hormone therapy may be considered helpful in certain women looking to balance hormonal imbalances, including estrogen dominance, perimenopause, and menopause/post-menopause.  However, women with heart disease or who have had a heart attack or stroke; women with a history of certain cancers, such as breast and uterine; and women with liver disease or a history of blood clots are NOT ideal candidates for natural bioidentical hormones.  So everyone should consult with their doctor before starting any new diets or supplement regimens.
