physician she was given a prescription for an anti-depressant. Two months later Zoe had all the same symptoms except depression. She cried because she never thought that at the age of twenty-two she would feel this bad two weeks out of every month. Zoe’s story is not unusual. Every day
women walk into their physician’s office asking for relief from hot flashes, night sweats, PMS, decreased libido, fibrocystic breasts, depression and irregular men- strual cycles. Every day many women are prescribed hormone replacement therapy /(HRT) or a birth control pill. Unfortu- nately, the women and/or the physicians are unaware of Dr John Lee and his work with estrogen dominance and its con- nection to PMS, pre and menopausal symptoms. So, who is Dr John Lee? Dr John Lee,
MD retired from his 30 year family prac- tice and started teaching medical profes- sionals and lay audiences about natural hormone balance. When Dr Lee read that a natural hormone cream would rebuild bone loss Lee gave it to his post meno- pausal patients for osteoporosis concerns instead of the usually prescribed H.R.T. Dr Lee’s female patients started telling him that their hot flashes, irritability and

night sweats were no longer a problem. At that point Dr Lee realized that using progesterone cream had benefits beyond those associated with osteoporosis . What Dr Lee discovered was that
many symptoms related to PMS, pre- menopause and menopause were caused by what Lee termed “estrogen domi- nance”. Estrogen dominance as described by Dr Lee is a condition of hormone imbalance whereby the normal ratios of estrogen and progesterone are altered due to excess estrogen and/or inadequate progesterone. However, estrogen domi- nance does not always refer to the pres- ence of too much estrogen. It means that estrogen levels are in excess in relation to progesterone, which creates the hormone imbalance. So what causes estrogen dominance?
Potential causes are environmental toxins, chemical contraceptives, stress, sedentary lifestyle, estrogen replacement therapy and diet. An imbalance of progesterone levels
can be restored to a proper ratio through various avenues. You can create bal- ance through exercise and healthy food choices. Also using skin and body care products that are formulated without mineral oil and petroleum products will help. Keeping stress in check as well as investigating the healthiest choice for birth control are a great start toward hormone balance. You can eliminate the source of estrogen (if known) and raise the body’s progesterone level with a natural progesterone cream. Using a cream that contains
