The overwhelming response to Oprah’s first show on hormone therapy has led to a second, follow-up show with Dr. Christiane Northrup and Suzanne Somers on Thursday of this week. Somers first raised awareness about the benefits of bio-identical hormones in her book, Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones.
Later that day, Dr. Northrup will also host a special Hormone Webcast through www.oprah.com to answer questions about hormone replacement and bio-identical hormones.
Judging from the comments left on Oprah.com and the emails I have received on this blog, Oprah’s show has opened the floodgates to a national dialogue about menopause and overall wellness in the second half of our lives. It can only help us in finding solutions that work for us.
Following Thursday’s Oprah show and webcast, I hope that you will share your opinions, learning and questions here.

Please tell me which harmone tests to ask my doctor for when I speak to her about biochemical harmones
Hi Phyllis – A good place to learn about the different tests that your doctor can order is the website of Genova Diagnostics, a private lab that many doctors use. (www.genovadiagnostics.com). Click on “tests” on the home page and check “menopause” to see a description of the tests that are offered.
