Before hitting menopause, Yvonne enjoyed her work as well as her play. Yvonne was healthy and happy, living her dream. Yvonne mastered bump skiing in the Colorado mountains, participated in triathlons like the Ironman in Hawaii, and traveled all over the world to teach seminars, scuba dive, and compete in world championship swimming events.

Suddenly the dream was over. Menopause struck her down.

It wasn't just hot flashes. Yvonne experienced a total collapse of her health. As her ovaries stopped producing vital hormones, every system in her body rebelled. She had every symptom of menopause-including loss of sex drive, depression, weight gain, cataracts, breaking bones-you name it. She was even diagnosed with a serious heart condition and a deadly skin cancer.

It was scary. And it didn't get any better. It only got worse.

After being stricken with the swine flu, Yvonne just couldn't recover. Her immune system was too weak to fight off the virus. Yvonne became bedridden for months. She felt lost, confused, and angry about this complete reversal in her previously outstanding health.

Doctors offered her no acceptable solutions to this menopausal hell. Oh sure, they would be happy to write prescriptions for dangerous synthetic and horse hormones and anti-depressants that could be used for a short time. But they offered no permanent, safe solutions.

This was extremely frustrating. Yvonne knew that she had to pull herself out of this dilemma somehow without making herself sicker by taking prescription drugs that have been amply proven to kill women. Although her body was stricken, her spirit remained undaunted.

Yvonne crawled to her computer and began her quest to find some answers. It wasn't easy. The answers were not there. Nor were the answers to be found in books. She had to look somewhere else.

Yvonne began to fly all over the country to attend conferences on anti-aging. She listened to thousands of lectures given by world-renowned experts in the field of hormone restoration. These cutting-edge anti-aging physicians and other experts in bioidentical hormones provided massive amounts of technical information. Yvonne vowed to make sense of it all and bring her revelations to you.

Fortunately, her medical background and training enabled her to pick out the jewels and translate the often difficult medical jargon. Yvonne used the experts' advice to develop an effective program to recover her health using bioidentical hormones, supplements, cleansing, and lifestyle changes. She followed the program. The program worked.

Yvonne was able to regain her health.

Today, at age 62, Yvonne enjoys outstanding health by standards for any age. Yvonne exercises three to six hours almost every day. She rides her bike, swims, lifts weights, and does Pilates and yoga. At her physical check-ups, she is told that she is ridiculously healthy.

Grateful for her renewed health, Yvonne wants to help others do the same. Yvonne has condensed the most valuable information from the anti-aging experts and has translated it into easy-to-understand language in order to help you to get a handle on your own hormones. Dr. Joe ensured the medical accuracy of everything and added his own advice based on decades of clinical experience.
