In order to practice medicine legally, one must acquire an education which is specified and regulated by state law. These requirements are very precise and complex, they require an education that is also specified by law to include various courses and practices.

Many physicians are not up to date and don’t understand what is going on with bioidentical hormone replacement. They are not up to date because they have been in practice a long time and they have not been able to re format their thinking and have not internalized the new information that is available.

Our discussion today is based on a book by Dr. Don Colbert, M.D. entitled: Deadly Emotions: Understand the Mind Body Spirit Connection That Can Heal or Destroy You. We will explain the connection between physical illness with stress and emotional pain.

One of the pieces of knowledge that we have recently discovered is that the estrogen balance in women is of particular importance in determining the risk of cardiovascular disease. Historically estrogen was given a bad rap for increasing the risk of heart attack and breast cancer in women!
