Chapters

We started realizing the advent of what we would call bioidentical hormone replacement, which would be hormones that are pretty much identical to what our bodies were making. So Prempro was a synthetic version of a hormone, and the hormones we're using now are actually hormones. The main ones would be testosterone. That's the main hormone that a woman has. Even though we think of testosterone being a male hormone, woman has about 10 to 20 times more testosterone than estrogen. So testosterone primary, estrogen secondary, and progesterone tertiary. And the testosterone replacement wasn't that common.
