Everything…everywhere…ends.

Death and taxes are really a misnomer for the quintessential inevitable that we can’t out-run, the real player in our terror about loss of control is sleep. Most of us, when we’re young, fight sleep as a mortal enemy of consciousness and by the time we’re old, it’s a love hate relationship between desire and need and the terrifying potential that somehow while we’re out we will permanently lose hold of this mortal coil. By age fifty, most of us know that aging can bring death in your sleep.

The delicate interplay of hormones and behavior (not to mention culture) that goes into the nebulous state we term “libido” is complicated beyond human understanding. But, what we do know is that airborne hormones called pheromones that bounce between all living things, plant and animal, speaking volumes. These molecules program human behavior when it comes to mate selection. Individual immune systems literally choose the perfect compliment for success in reproduction.

The proponents of “natural hormones” or leaders in the field of BHRT –Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy toss around the word “natural” or “bio-identical” in a very casual way.

Bio-identical HRT (BHRT) involves treatment with hormones synthesized in a lab to have the exact molecular structure as those made by your body. This is what makes them eligible for the term “natural”, and also what allows them to produce the same physiologic response when dosed correctly (as all of these are not) as those that are naturally produced by your body.
