The Bioidentical Debate

Actress Suzanne Somers has been preaching about the wonders of bioidentical hormones for more than a decade. Suzanne says menopause hit on her 50th birthday and almost ruined her life. "It was like a Mack truck," she says. "It began a three-year odyssey of not sleeping, moodiness, weight gain, changes in my hair, changes in my skin, body itches [and] rashes."

Suzanne says bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) saved her. "By replacing my hormones with bioidentical hormones, I got my life back. I got my health back, I got my figure back, I got my happiness back," she says. "Everything in my life is better."
