        Good evening, Doc Jones.

        Are there times when women come to you with hormone imbalance symptoms but are already on HRT (synthetic or bioidentical) but need more help with menopausal symptoms?  Are there herbs that you would feel comfortable mixing with estradiol/progesterone?  Many women are committed to their HRT and also (I’m a pharmacist) I don’t have the legal authority to advise getting off of a medication when that person is under the care of a prescriber.

        My instinct is to to care for detox organs–especially liver, kidney and intestines with herbal therapy and perhaps stay away from herbs that contain phyto-estrogen or progesterone.

        Thank you, Doc.  I love all that I’m learning and am so thankful to be able to learn from you.

          Perhaps address the adrenal system.  It is supposed to take over hormone production when the ovaries are done.  If adrenals improve at the task, theoretically there’s less need for external intervention.
