The Individual:
- Joni B. is a homemaker in Southern California, who had undergone a complete hysterectomy, and found she had trouble sleeping at night, lacked energy, experienced weight gain and was always warm and irritable. Her physician prescribed synthetic hormones, which she reluctantly took for more than 3 years.
The Challenge:
- In 2008, Joni discovered the synthetic hormones she had been taking were made from the urine of pregnant horses, and immediately stopped taking them. After doing some research on her own, Joni decided that bio-identical hormone treatments were something that she wanted to try. Unfortunately, she had no idea how to find a physician, or if her insurance would cover the treatment regimen.
Designing and Implementing Your Specific Formulary
- Joni contacted the My Health team, who told her that her insurance would, indeed, cover the therapy plan she desired, and identified a physician in her area that specialized in bio-identical hormone treatment. Additionally, the My Health team helped Joni work through the maze of billing, making the process as smooth and painless as possible.
The Benefit:
- The My Health team confirmed the wisdom of Joni’s treatment plan, and found her an expert physician that could start the bio-identical therapy right away. Three months later, Joni had more energy, rediscovered her libido and had a normal body temperature. “I feel wonderful, younger and happy! Making this simple change in my life not only helped me, but everyone around me as well. What a blessing.”
