“My libido came back in two weeks!”

Deanna is a caring, dynamic wife and mother of six kids — three grown and three still at home. She had a partial hysterectomy at 44 and was doing well until a few years ago when she was struck by a sudden loss of libido and severe hot flashes that really disrupted her life. “I couldn’t stand them — they were horrible.”

Her doctor prescribed a bioidentical hormone patch, but that brought her no relief. Then he recommended Estratest. The hot flashes were still terrible and were now accompanied by headaches, vaginal dryness and lots of gas and bloating.

“Life was difficult,” Deanna told us. She felt no sexual desire and she craved sweets all the time. She turned to the internet to find relief from her misery. That’s when she discovered us.

Within a month of starting her Personal Program for Hormonal Balance something happened to Deanna that we’ve seen many times before: her husband told her, “I have my wife back!”

When we called Deanna reported that “the bloating and gas are gone, my headaches are gone — this is big!” But clearly she was happiest to tell us, “My libido came back in two weeks!” Even her vaginal dryness is better.

Because she’s so encouraged by her progress, Deanna is really motivated and committed to feeling well again. The positive changes she’s made have convinced her that “we cannot just be a product of our environment.” She knows there is still lots of room for improvement and is truly excited about continuing that process with her Personal Program. We will be checking in with her soon to see how she’s doing. In the meantime, we love her enthusiasm!
