Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Ohio

Hello Lyn and Ladies (Judy, Peggy & Anita),

I want to take a few moments to thank all of you for helping me get in to see Jeff. I appreciate your teamwork in making it happen. You are all GREAT! I am very pleased that Jeff knew what was causing my outbreaks – testosterone level – and he will take care of making the change beginning with my next monthly refill which he will address tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier, it was time for me to have my prescription refilled (actually a bit late because I’d stopped taking it daily due to the facial outbreaks). I can’t be happier knowing how well you take care of your patients. I will be sure to let others know how positive my experiences have been at The Happy Hormone Cottage and how well you all work together for your patients. Thanks again to all of you.

Everything is going great for me, in fact I have a follow up appointment today with Dr. P. I have lost 34 lbs, mostly in my belly and legs…yeah…sex life improved alot and no foggy thinking or sluggishness. I have only great things to say about my bio identical hormones and only wish I had done this years ago…

After going through menopause, I felt like someone had just wrung me out; that is, I had no energy, I hurt with a myriad of aches and pains, and I either couldn’t get to sleep or I woke up in the middle of the night and had problems getting back to sleep. I went to my general practitioner, and he suggested I start taking Aleve in the mornings. I did, and it helped the pains some… but not much. One day while reading the Dayton Daily News online, I found an article about the opening of the Happy Hormone Cottage. I was very interested, because I had previously read about natural hormones but wasn’t sure where to get help in this area. One of my “side jobs” is being the director of fund raising and promotion for the Our Mims Retirement Haven, a retired Thoroughbred broodmare rescue based in Kentucky. I knew, no matter what, I would not/could not ever take Premarin. The use of pregnant mare urine in the manufacturing of Premarin results in the birth of many foals that either must be taken care of or slaughtered. I knew I could never be part of that process. I filled out the online survey then called to make an appointment at the Cottage. I went through the saliva test and sent it in. While waiting for the results, I made an appointment with Dr. Pawloski, a gynecologist on the recommendation list on the Cottage’s web site. It had been quite a while (cough — years — cough) since I had had a regular gynecology visit, and I was eager to work with a doctor familiar with Bioidentical Hormones. After a consult between the doctor and the specialists at the Piqua Medicine Shoppe, I was put on a progesterone regiment, very simple, supplemented with Adrenal Support. Within days, I felt better. Not much longer after that, I was sleeping through the night. Although I still have little aches and pains from time to time (I am almost 51 years of age), I feel younger and able to do things I have not felt capable of for quite some time. For example: I have always had a problem with my weight. With the added aches and pains, no energy, and sleepless nights, I had all but given up on the idea of taking up even the simplest exercise routine. Now, I regularly exercise with the help of some DVDs (I especially love the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds series). I am able to walk up to four miles in one routine. (I’m working on getting through the five mile workout.) I am losing weight, but I am more impressed with my stamina and alertness. I no longer drag myself through the day then collapse on the couch when I get home. I feel so good now, and I owe it to Lyn and those at the Happy Hormone Cottage, the Piqua Medicine Shoppe, and Dr. Pawloski. I am so grateful that these people have studied about Bioidentical Hormones and are promoting it. I shudder to think where I would be if I hadn’t read that article in the DDN a few months ago. Thank you so much!

Jeff,

My insurance doesn’t cover my compounded BHRT’s but I’ll continue to pay out of my pocket as long as I can because its worth it for me to feel my best.

I was prescribed three different synthetic oral estrogens and progestin within a period of one year. They made me so sick with side effects such as bleeding (at 52 years old), irritability, and anxiety. Because of the side effects, I went back and forth to the doctor and had to take sick days off work until I was so fed up, I stopped trying to feel better. The only thing I learned is synthetic hormones are just bad. My body certainly didn’t like them at all…

Then I started my own research and found The Happy Hormone Cottage and thank God I did. I feel better than I have in a very long time thanks to HHC.

Thank you

“I really enjoyed meeting with Lacy. She is so real, personable and forthcoming about her own journey. I have felt so alone in this and she reassured me that there are many women just like me. Thank you!”

I am so happy I stumbled across your web site yesterday. I will say you have the most welcoming and informative web site out there when it comes to Women’s Health.

First off, let me say I feel GREAT these days… so much better than I was before – my entire reason for coming to the Happy Hormone Cottage in the first place. I am not irritable like I was before and am so much more able to control my anger and other feelings. My emotions and (hormonal?) reactions had been on a roller coaster for not quite a year before I came to you… I was unable to deal with my stress or my emotions. I feel so much better and happier NOW! More like my ‘real’ self J Additionally, my sex drive has returned – which both my husband and I appreciate! Thank you for all your help and I look forward to hearing from you soon,

Lyn,
I’m always so happy to read your updates. I’m being honest with you, if it wasn’t for the Hormone Cottage I wouldn’t know where to turn. I use the hormone creams daily. I also took some of the supplements for two years as directed. Some of them I no longer take because I was advised by you on the specific length of time I should take them. I followed that time line and honest to goodness I feel great. I’m not tired and I have my energy back.
Our health care system is useless. I’m really scared about the direction our health care system is headed and our country. Lyn and Jeff I go to sleep feeling better just knowing that there are dedicated, sincere, and caring people like you who really want to help people. I know I have said it before you but without you I would probably end up in a nursing home just like my mom did. I’m behind you guys all the way. I wanted to pass this information on to you and Jeff because I want you and Jeff to know that we need people like you who care. Please feel free to pass this information on to the new Dr. that has just signed on. I will continue to keep letting people know about the Hormone Cottage.
God Bless both of you

Great Place to go!

Hi Lyn,

I want to thank you again for helping me get in to see Angela this week to discuss my test results. I always feel so much better after I meet with Angela. She takes time to truly explain my results and the plan for action. You have a tremendous team and I am so happy to have such a great resource with you and your staff at Happy Hormone Cottage. Thank you!!!!
