Testimonials
I came to Rocky Mountain OBGYN one year ago. I was desperate to feel more like my old self. I was gaining weight at an alarming rate and I felt as though I was aging daily. It began to really affect my marriage – this was the last straw – I began taking Bio-Identical hormones after my test results showed low levels. Within the first two weeks I felt a difference and I have steadily gained ground ever since. Now after one year I am a completely different person. My test levels are right on target. I’m dropping weight and I’m alive again. I feel better than when I was in my thirty’s. My husband now takes DHEA and testosterone and our marriage and sex life is stronger than ever. It’s time for us both to live again – no more sleeping in the chair! 43 and feeling 20,

The bio-identical hormone therapy has treated my symptoms at the root of the problem and given my mind and body a sense of balance I haven’t felt in a long time. I love being able to decrease or increase my dosage based on the symptoms I’m experiencing. My body responds very quickly to the dosage changes. Every woman should consider this therapy – it really works!

The reason I first came to see Dr. Simon was because I was unhappy with the changes happening in my body. I had always been strong and very healthy and things were changing. My fingernails were chipped and cracking, my hair was brittle and I was losing large amounts of hair on my head whenever I showered or brushed my hair, and I also was tired all the time. The lack of energy really worried me as I wondered if something was seriously wrong with me.
I went to Dr. Simon’s workshop entitled “Has Anyone Seen My Hormones?” and so many things she described and explained fit my bodily changes perfectly. I made an appointment to begin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and within a week of taking the medication, noticed definite positive changes. My fingernails regained their previous strength and healthy condition, and I noticed much less hair loss from my head. My fatigue just disappeared, and that was wonderful, as the need to take an extended nap everyday had really shortened my functional time each day. Another benefit was my renewed interest in enjoying sexual relations with my husband.
One change I have happily avoided so far, is the trunk thickening about the waist and hips that happens to so many women my age (52). I am very pleased to avoid that because my two older sisters (54 and 56) have been struggling with this trunk thickening for several years now. They attempt to improve their shape through dieting and exercise and have seen only minimal improvement.
I do sometimes have hot flashes at night, but talking with my friends of my same age, it seems that they are minimal compared with what some of my friends are experiencing. When I do wake up feeling excessively warm, I just fan the blankets a bit and am able to fall right back asleep.
I am very pleased with the HRT treatment I am receiving from Dr. Simon. I feel energetic and healthy and comfortable with my body.
