Had Male Pattern Baldness. High Levels Of Testosterone And Estrogen. Had Bio Identical Treatment. Done Total Hysterectomy. Solution?

Hi. I would like to know the best way to lose weight due to extremely low hormone levels. I used to go and have bio identical treatment and once my levels of testosterone, estrogen, etc. crept up, I found I lost weight that I couldn't before, and kept it off for 3 years due to the yam based pellet implants. Now that I haven't been for 16 months, I have put on weight again and am doing nothing different to what I was before the treatment and since, so I know the hormone treatment was the reason I lost the weight. What can I do now to lose it again. By the way I'm a 62 year old woman who had a total hysterectomy 12 years ago now; ovaries were also removed at the time. The reason I stopped having the treatment was due to excessive amounts of testosterone I was given, which caused male pattern baldness, which as you can imagine, is extremely upsetting, so now I have to go to Hair Club every month. I was not the only lady to have this happen at this particular facility and a Civil Suit is going on, but meanwhile, how can I now lose the weight again? I'm getting extremely depressed about it and can't believe there isn't a way to lose it again other than have similar treatment somewhere else.

Hi, as you describe you was treated with the testosteron, and estrogen. The reason could be that the testosteron might be kept over dose for immediate result. With minimal testosteron and maxium estrogen you can have the desired effect. Thank you.
