Everything in life that has value comes with a price. Not everything that has a price delivers value. There are numerous examples of both sides of these equations. In order to truly evaluate this question we must look at the pros and cons of the issues.

Short term:
1. Elimination of the need to frequent health food stores and spend money on supplements, remedies and herbal cures.
2. Probable elimination of need for anti-depressants and sleep aids … insurance co-pays mount up.
3. Increased ability to concentrate and focus on job, relationships, and life’s issues. This results in greater job productivity, which generally translates into increased financial gain.

Long term:
1. Overall better long-term health, resulting in less spent on health issues, lowered insurance premiums, and longer job productivity.
2. Decreased incidence of osteotic fractures, Alzheimer’s, and other aging type diseases.
3. Greater emotional stability and sexual desire tends to encourage long-term emotional relationships and improve marriages. … Divorce is expensive for everyone involved.

Initial:
The initial evaluation and testing is normally less than three to four hundred dollars and is normally spread out over several weeks to months.

Ongoing:
1. There is usually a need to see your BHRT physician once or twice yearly at a minimal cost (Usually $75 to $100 per visit).
2. Compounded hormone medications are usually less expensive than the co-pays you are used to paying for your present synthetic hormones. Most compounding pharmacies usually charge in the range of $40 to $50 per month.
