Vicki, 55: The first thing I noticed was an increase in energy.
I totally cleaned my house from top to bottom. I take a brief 30 minute walk daily and am always finding
activities to keep me busy throughout the day. I now get a more restful night sleep with no more night sweats.
I no longer have a cloudy brain and my memory is sharp, my stomach problems have totally disappeared, and I no longer
take medicine for acid reflux. I feel totally confident in myself and feel I can do anything. I no longer
take anti-depressants. I have lost 2 dress sizes and the weight is still coming off. My friends and family
say I am a new person. I feel great!

Paul, 59: I have always been active and healthy, but as I aged I did
not realize that a slow decline in my hormone level was robbing me of my energy and vitality.
As I approached my late 50's, I decided to take action; at the recommendation of Dr. Dykema, I
read 2 books about bioidentical hormone replacement that have had a dramatic and positive
impact on my health. With the basic understanding from the books, some other Process research, and close supervision
from Dr. Dykema, I have committed to a life changing decision to improve my health by restoring
my hormone levels to a proper balance and more youthful norm. And it is working!
As an avid hiker, I find I now routinely finish my hikes in less time and with more energy
to boot. As a runner, my times have been reduced significantly and I recover much faster
with far less discomfort or pain. As a manager for a large multi-national company, I
frequently travel internationally for business.. On these trips I find I have much more energy
and I can function better in spite of disruptions in my normal sleep cycle and the fatigue
accompanying international air travel. In short, I'm a more vital and energized person.
I just feel better and I'm sharper both mentally and physically.
I'm very excited about continuing my journey towards peak health and I can highly recommend
Dr. Dykema and the professionals at the Wellness Center. Their technical knowledge is excellent,
and it is obvious they honestly care about you and strive to help you become the healthy individual
you were intended to be. You will have to put in the work and do your part by following the
professional guidance provided by Dr. Dykema and the medical staff. When you do this, you will
be amazed at how much healthier you will be and how much better you feel.

Sally, 60: It has taken me about 1 year to get where I am,
which is a very good place to be. My energy level is high, I'm working out steadily, my sex drive
is, well let's just say I don't worry about it at all. My life is 100%
better, especially taking vitamins and my hormones all in sync. Hair is healthy,
skin is smooth, and I am looking more confident. I love my life!
Amy, 37: I suffered with extreme hot flashes, night sweats,
anxiety, mood swings, weight gain, trouble sleeping and memory loss for about a year before
coming to see Dr. Dykema. I was afraid I had cancer or a thyroid problem. Dr. Dykema did
a thorough physical, and lab results showed I was in menopause. This was not
great news to me, being that I am 37 years old, but it sure beat having cancer. I started
taking bio identical hormones and the hot flashes and night sweats disappeared within a few
days. I cannot believe how great I feel now! I sleep all night and do not have anxiety. I
am my cheerful, happy self again and am so thankful to Dr. Dykema and the bio identical
hormones she has put me on. I am losing weight and have more energy than I ever had. The
doctors appointments and the hormones are a financial hardship for our family, but they are
worth every penny. Dr. Dykema has made such a monumental difference not only in the quality
of my life, but also in the lives of my family members. They are so happy to have me feeling
like my old self again.
Lauren, 44: Since I have begun taking natural hormones,
I have more energy and I feel much better. My moods are more even and I don't feel tired anymore.
It has made such a difference in my life!
Kelly, 52: With Dr. Dykema's guidance, I am finally
feeling like myself again. I recommend a consultation with Dr. Dykema to learn about all the
new more natural options that are available for menopause related issues. You don't have to
feel "old" before your time!
Mike, 47: Having been a runner and avid outdoor
enthusiast all my life, I was disturbed over a 2-3 year period of personal deterioration, including
moody feelings and a lack of motivation for my favorite workouts. Dr. Dykema provided keen
insight from my symptoms and ran blood tests. I found I had fallen significantly below
normal in a couple key hormones. Bio-identical hormone therapy has rejuvenated me completely!
My mood is better, I like to train more, and my athletic performance is back. My life is much improved!
Chuck, 48: Like so many of Dr Dykema's patients, I could regale you with
stories of my increased physical powers, energy of a thirty year old, and improved cardiovascular
strength. Yes, I've become stronger, more leaner and more sexy! Above all, my mood has improved
tremendously! I had noticed increasing grumpiness, but attributed the mood to age. I thought I was
becoming another "grumpy old man". I never realized grumpiness wasn't inevitable with age. Shortly
after beginning treatment with Dr Dykema, my mood improved drastically. My mental and physical
health are where they were in the thirties. The benefits are apparent in both my personal and
business lives. Dr Dykemas' treatment is the best investment I've made in years!!
Pattie, 52: Hormone replacement therapy has allowed me to be
myself again. I have renewed energy and have been healthier than I have been for a long
time since starting bioidentical hormones. I highly recommend this type of therapy for everyone
in need of hormone balance in thier lives. I've sent many of my friends and associates to Dr.
Dykema. My family is thankful too.
Sue, 57: After 6 years of unmanageable hot flashes, weight gain and
reduction in energy levels (during which time I consulted numerous physicians who practice various
treatments which had little or no effect), I finally found Dr. Dykema and the Wellness Center.
Within 6 months of my first visit with Dr. Dykema, her treatment course eliminated my hot flashes,
increased my energy, and put me on a postive course of weight management. I am so relieved
I found her! Thank you, Dr Dykema.
Susie, 52: Wow... I thank God for my friend from church that gave me Dr.
Dykema's card! This treatment saved my life and my marraige. In my husbands words... "I have
my Susie back!". Thanks!
Donna, 55: I first went to the Wellness Center to see Dr. Dykema several
months ago because after having a hysterectomy, bladder repair and thyriod removed in 2003, I had
hardly any energy to do everyday things. I had no desire for sex, my skin was very dry, my hair
was brittle, and I just felt I was too young to give up. I started my new hormone replacement
therapy, and in just a few short weeks, I was feeling and seeing a big difference. Now I am
enjoying life to its fullest, filled with energy, love, drive, and enjoying life. My skin and hair
are much healthier. Thank you Dr. Dykema.
Ronald, 64: Dr. Dykema, thank you so much for helping me get my life
back on track. Since taking hormones, I have successfully cut my use of oxycodone from 140mg/day
down to 20mg/day with every reason I will be able to eliminate then completely, even after four
back surgeries. Also, my energy level and mental clarity is absolutely off the charts! My
sex life has gone from 0 to 10 and I am loving life once again.
Charlotte, 56: At my initial visit with Dr. Dykema, I was very frustrated
and stressed because of the symptoms I had from menopause. I had hot flashes all the time. I had
severe vaginal dryness and no sexual desire. I gained so much weight that I was uncomfortable and
unhappy with the way I looked. I was not handling the aging process of menopause very well. I
also was experiencing low energy and being tired all the time. Immediately after I began
bio-identical hormone therapy, the hot flashes stopped. I don't have mood swings, I have more
energy, and I am not stressed and tired all the time. My sex drive is back and I no longer have
vaginal dryness. I had a low white blood count that required me to be in the care of a
hematologist. My hematologist has released me from his care and said that my white blood count
is the best it has been in 2 years. I feel so much better about myself. I feel good!
Tina, 55: I thought due to my age and due to my
hysterectomy, I was doomed to feeling tired, fatigued, moody and depressed. I also had no
motivation. In Dec 2008 Dr. Dykema and I discussed bio-identical hormones. In just a
couple of months of time and adjustments in dosages, I have more energy and a better
outlook than I have had in years. My focus has improved dramatically. I even do my job
better and I am enjoying activities I haven't done in years. I have lost weight and have
received numerous compliments that I look younger. I feel younger too. This treatment
is the best thing I have done for myself ever!
Lynn, 55: Since starting the bioidentical hormones, I
have experienced more energy, am feeling more alive with more confidence, have much better
concentration, and my sex drive is back. I have lost weight and my skin tone is better.
I haven't experienced any more hot flashes and I am sleeping all night. I highly recommend
this hormone treatment, as it can make changes in your quality of life.
Judy, 61: When I first came to Dr. Dykema, I was deeply
depressed ... I knew I needed help fast. The doctor did some blood work and put me
on a schedule of hormones compounded for my specific needs. Shortly after starting the
medications, I noticed the depression lifting and have been steadily feeling more like myself.
I anticipate feeling even better as time goes on.
Rita, 60: I have been a patient of Dr. Dykema
for 23 years and I trust her to prescribe what is right for me. Hormone replacement therapy
has been a wonderful experience. I feel much better and have more energy. I even go to the
gym 4 to 5 days a week, plus gardening, walking and other outdoor activities. Another big
plus is I have my sex drive back which I thought was gone forever. In short, I feel great!
Sheila, 51: Before starting the Hormone Replacement
Therapy, I was a hormonal mess. I felt very edgy, nothing could excite me, and I had no sex
drive. I was not getting a good night of sleep and did not feel like doing anything. Now I
am beginning to feel much better day by day.
Mary, 60: When I first came to Dr, Dykema's office
at age 59, hormone replacement was the last thing on my mind. I could barely walk with
painfully swollen ankles and feet; rheumatoid arthritis was a possible diagnosis. During
treatment of that, labs showed thyroid and hormone deficiencies. I was surprised and skeptical
when Dr. Dykema suggested hormone replacement could be helpful in cases of inflammation or
autoimmune diseases. I wasn't used to being sick or taking meds. On reading about hormones,
I learned that low hormone levels could also be responsible for some separate issues that I
had been noticing. So I said yes to bio-identical hormones! Screening tests showed that I
was a good candidate and over the 9 months that I have been on the hormones, I feel so much
better physically and mentally! Regular monitoring shows the inflammation has not returned
and my hormone levels have normalized. I am hiking and have lost weight. Mainly, I just
feel good again!
