Millions of women have turned away from using conventional estrogen replacement therapy with its many side effects and health issues like increasing the risk of heart disease and breast cancer, and are looking for safe, effective alternative therapies. This book is based on Dr. Lark's extensive experience using natural, alternative hormone therapies that has brought relief and healing to many thousands of her patients with low estrogen levels. It is also based on her thorough knowledge of the medical and alternative research in this field.

The lack of estrogen creates many uncomfortable symptoms including hot flashes, insomnia, mood changes, anxiety, depression, loss of sex drive, memory loss, wrinkling and thinning of the skin and weight gain. The incidence of osteoporosis, heart disease, high blood pressure and arthritis also increases dramatically as estrogen levels diminish.

Her patient Maria was distressed by her lack of energy and loss of sex drive, while Tamara consulted Dr. Lark because her low estrogen levels were causing hot flashes and sleepless nights. Judith came to see her because she had low bone density and was concerned about her weight gain and moodiness. All of these women benefited greatly from her all-natural estrogen support program.
