Dear Deanne and the team at Franck's Compounding Lab:

From the onset of my first menstrual cycle fifty years ago, I knew something wasn't 'right' about my body. I had all but given up in my third decade of life that anyone would find the answers to questions I've asked medical doctors for years--Why am I so tired all the time? Why are my periods so heavy and painful, my digestive system so irregular? Why can't I keep the weight losses off? Why are my mood swings so frequent? Why am I depressed? Why do I suffer from severe insomnia? Why can't I get pregnant?

What a surprise to find from a simple saliva test that my body has been hormonally out of whack for most of my life--specifically from too much estrogen and no progesterone.

Thanks to your counseling and the expert team at Franck's, all of my questions have been answered and solved. I am following all of your advice and enjoying regularity and energy in all phases of my life. Sleep comes easily to me now and I awaken ready to work and stay busy all day. Your simple suggestions for changing my own body have been so easy to follow. I love the protein shakes, take the vitamins you advised, avoid 'diet' foods, buy organic as much as possible, get to bed earlier by drinking a stress-relieving hot lemon tea which relaxes me into a deep, restful sleep. The addition of the prescribed progesterone cream made a real difference, too. My digestive system is regular, mood swings almost non-existent, energy level is high, and metabolism has increased. How do I know my metabolism has increased? I've lost 17 pounds without dieting!

Thank you again. Have a great day! I know I will.
