Memorable Quotes:

"One of the things that the research is pretty clear on is it's not just about the hormones you make. It's about how you excrete and get rid of your hormones because we also have environmental chemicals that mimic hormones in the body. So they basically come in and disrupt your own hormones. So we've got a lot of hormone activity that may or may not be ours. And depending on how we're wired genetically, we might be good at clearing those things out, or we may not be as good." – Betty Murray

 

"I don't think everybody on the planet has to be on hormones, but I do think most women are candidates for hormones, and it's worthy of exploration if you've done everything naturally and it's still not working." – Betty Murray
