Lovin' me some (BOOST) Progesterone!

“Hi!  My name is Connie and this picture is me sweating my way through menopause! Well, I’m sweating in my Bikram Yoga class, praying a lot, going on daily walks and occasional runs, AND using natural bio-identical BOOST Progesterone.

I first discovered Progesterone when I was pregnant with my second child.  I had been diagnosed as infertile after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for almost 4 years.  I’d had a miscarriage and my ob/gyn did blood work and discovered I was almost completed depleted of Progesterone.  According to my doctor, I would be unable to get pregnant or keep a pregnancy without medical intervention.   I desperately wanted to have another child and my daughter Bekah cried herself to sleep at night, praying for a baby sister.

Because I was unknowledgeable and afraid, I trusted my doctor who dosed me with massive amounts of hormones to help me get pregnant, and then prescribed oral progesterone to help me keep the pregnancy.

I FINALLY got pregnant after 3 horrific months of fertility treatment.  I was like a hormonal zombie! I could barely function.  I thought it was all worth it when the pregnancy test came back positive!  For the next several months, I continued to endure the oral progesterone, even though I spotted and thought several times I was having a miscarriage.  My second daughter, Hannah,  was born in May.  I was SO overjoyed but immediately began to suffer from postpartum depression.

This time, rather than turning to my doctor, I asked a dear friend of mine, who is a nurse/midwife, what she uses to help women suffering from depression.  She told me all about natural topical USP Progesterone Cream.  She had used Progesterone throughout her menopausal years and felt like it was the best solution for every woman.

I immediately bought several jars and used it morning, noon and night. I began feeling better that day, and over the next several months, I noticed I had lost my baby weight faster than I had during my first pregnancy and my skin and hair looked phenomenal!

The following year, we moved to Florida for my husband’s job.  The first week we were there, I found out I was pregnant – without using any drugs or hormones!  When our third child Hope was still breast-feeding, I got pregnant again!  Gloria was the easiest pregnancy of all.  I had literally ZERO morning sickness,  hardly gained any weight during pregnancy and she was by far, the easiest delivery.  I delivered her at home – with the help of my beloved midwife – without any pain meds.  I know without a doubt it was the Progesterone Cream!

Now that my girls are older (this pic is all of us together almost 10 years ago) they all use the cream and NEVER get bloated or have PMS.  I have used it faithfully since Gloria was born and I’m going through menopause now with hardly any symptoms!

The last few months have been incredibly busy and I forgot to use my Boost Progesterone!  I even work for AskDrGarland so you would think I know better!  But, life sometimes gets away from me, and I started feeling really depressed again and I wasn’t sleeping.

I restarted my Progesterone cream 4x a day and I immediately felt better.  I slept like a rock that night and had so much energy, I completed like 5 projects.  I felt more clear headed and focused.  After about 5 days, I felt like my old self!

Most of my friends who are going the HRT route are all miserable.  I tell them they have a choice.  I’m so glad someone cared enough for me to tell me that I needed Progesterone.  That’s why I’m telling you.  This stuff really works.

I just turned 52, and my friends and family can’t believe it.  I don’t look or act my age – but, believe me, there are days I FEEL it.  It’s good to know that I’m fending off aging and feeling great.  I’m working, going to grad school, taking care of kids, and interning for a substance abuse agency – I’m definitely stretched, but I have the energy and stamina I need every day!

I also use DIM to free up even more Progesterone and use Balanced Woman for the complete hormone balance regimen.

Just try it and you won’t believe how good you feel!

Boost Progesterone – Natural USP Progesterone Cream Boost Progestone is a 100% natural, topical formula that can bring relief to women suffering from PMS, migraines, weight gain caused by hormonal imbalance, bloating, and in many cases, an end to menopause symtoms.There has been much confusion surrounding the use of natural progesterone in the last decade. Progesterone has traditionally been produced by converting the phyto-estrogen (plant estrogen) Diosgenis to natural progesterone. This is the same progesterone that is produced by the body. Our all-natural, Bio-Identical USP BOOST Progesterone transdermal cream is derived from plant sterols. There are no recorded side effects and studies have shown that natural progesterone may help osteoblast function, which is integral in bone rebuilding – vital for post-menopausal women! Whether or not to use Natural Progesterone when pre-menopausal is a decision made by each women individually working with her health care professional and based on signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance. These symptoms include: Water retention, edema (swelling, bloating) Fatigue, lack of energy Breast swelling, Fibrocystic breasts Premenstrual mood swings, depression Loss of sex drive Heavy or irregular menses Uterine fibroids Cravings for sweets Symptoms of low thyroid such as cold hands and feet. When using Bio-Identical USP BOOST Progesterone cream, massage it into skin until it is noticeably absorbed. It’s best to apply to thinner skin, such as the chest, breasts, lower abdomen, inner thighs, wrists, inner arms and neck. *amount of USP Progesterone Cream to apply will differ depending on your personal, individual needs. Consult your health care provider if you need help with dosage. Retail price: $24.95 Preferred Member Price: $19.97 Click Here to Order

DIM is THE Hormone “Reset” I have been passionately advocating the use of Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) for years for its ability to moderate Estrogen in men and women. I always included it as part of an overall cancer prevention and recovery diet and detoxification protocol. Indoles are powerful plant compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower and Leeks, that aids in balancing estrogen metabolism and can help to maintain a healthy hormonal balance for both men and women. For many years now, the powerful anti-cancer properties of many foods, herbs, minerals and vitamins have been shown to have profound benefit, without the horrendous side effects experienced with mainline chemotherapy and radiation. Prominent researchers have documented that this balance of Estrogen metabolites is an important factor in maintaining breast, uterine, cervical and prostate health. Men and women also use DIM as an integral part of successful weight management programs. Retail price: $49.95 Preferred Member price: $41.97 Click Here to Order
