Women’s Health

There are so many things that affect a woman’s overall health and wellness that are not being addressed in today’s world. Testosterone needs, which are critical for the quality and longevity of a woman’s life, are just starting to be discussed with very few women getting the proper advice. Planning for pregnancy is critical to having the safest and healthiest pregnancy and the healthiest child. If the mother’s body is full of metabolic and other chemical waste, this can greatly affect the mother and developing child. If the mother is deficient in nutrients, this can be very bad for the developing child and make the mother feel terrible and result in mood swings, post-partum depression, nausea, sleep issues, weakness and fatigue. Women have special needs; their bodies are built a certain way and need to be treated as such. Chalmers Wellness understands the unique needs of a woman’s body, how it works and the specific chemical and physical requirements needed for proper wellness and long-term health.

80-250. The old lab ranges were limited because the medical community considers clitoral engorgement a negative side effect for women. However, in the 15 years I have been doing HRT with women, so far 100% of them have told me that stronger, easier-to-achieve, more powerful orgasms are something they would like and consider a positive. Your normal medical labs stop at 60-70 because that’s where clitoral engorgement starts to happen, and it was decided that was a bad thing. So if you want better orgasms, you have to start at 80 and go up from there.

It can be, but it’s an individual decision made with your medical team. If you currently have cancer, hormone therapy is off the table for now. If you’ve had cancer in the past, we review your history, your oncologist’s input and your labs together. Having had cancer doesn’t mean the rest of your life has to be miserable.

Everyone aromatizes testosterone into estrogen in their fat cells. If you lose a lot of fat, it can change your blood levels of estrogen.
