I would like to mention an additional variable to your blog I personally experienced several yours ago. I’m in my 70’s and use bio-identical HR and suddenly had breakthrough bleeding. My drs jumped on it and ran several test. I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine which is also a hormone. Long story short what I had was an interaction between the hormones. They reduced the Levothyroxine by a few micro gr and everything returned to normal. As we age our bodies change and we have to work with our doctors to keep everything in check. I continue to use Parlor Games because I think their product is superior to what the pharmaceutical companies have to offer. I also agree with their comment concerning reducing sodium use if you want to lose weight. I’ve lost weight since starting to use Parlor Games and making just two changes in my diet of limiting daily use of 2gr of sodium and 20 gr of saturated fat.
