When hormones go awry - for women or men - the imbalances can wreak havoc with one's physical and emotional health, as well as sap energy, vitality, focus and concentration.

Women, especially, often find that symptoms are dismissed as "just stress" or depression or anxiety. Patients often do not know where to turn for help.

Many "hormone doctors" today have not had much more training than a weekend course in "natural hormones" or "bioidentical hormones, " often taught by pharmacists or celebrities.
