"Dr. McAllister worked with me in getting the progesterone I needed during my pregnancy. Once my script was filled and I started using the progesterone, all indicators of a miscarriage were gone. It's truly amazing how much the progesterone helped! The crazy thing is that the midwife I was previously seeing ordered her own progesterone test for me. She advised that my levels were normal but wouldn't give me the numbers (I didn't tell her I had just received the progesterone script). I ended up switching hospitals completely and the doctor who delivered my daughter was fantastic...just wish I had switched to him sooner. Our baby girl, Cailey Grace, was born January 2, 2010 and weighed 6 lbs, 2 oz and 19 inches long. The nurse who took care of her right after delivery, said you couldn't find a healthier and perfect baby. This was an answer to our prayers! I realize you were doing your job, but I want you to know how much we appreciate all you did to help during a very difficult and discouraging time. I truly feel, without the progesterone, I would've either lost Cailey or she would've been born prematurely. Thank you just doesn't seem enough."

"ZRT and saliva testing literally saved my life!  I have spent the last three years of my life going from a gynecologist to an oncologist, from an endocrinologist to an infectious disease doctor, begging for help. I kept telling all of them that my hormones were out of balance. They all said the same thing:  you are too young, you are on birth control, you have plenty of estrogen. Well...  knew better. I had terrible hot flashes (despite the birth control pills). I could not sleep, suffered from anxiety attacks and uncontrollable rage, felt like my mind was in a fog. I had poor cognitive function and was unable to concentrate. I even had a hard time carrying on a conversation. I could not pronounce my words correctly and had burning sensations in my head. I could not take it anymore. No one would help me. Then my primary care doctor ordered saliva testing. I did not believe in “holistic" medicine. (That is what I thought saliva testing was.) Lucky for me my doctor went outside of the "box". The results spoke for themselves. Thanks to ZRT I feel better than I ever have. I truly believe that everyone should test their hormones using saliva testing. I have always felt like I had a hormone imbalance. As far as I am concerned, this is the best test out there. I am constantly recommending it to all of my friends. All I know is that it saved my life. Thank you ZRT for giving me my life back!"

"I was miserable around my periods and tended to take it out on everyone around me. My kids would see that look on my face and scatter, which only made me feel worse. I had tried all sorts of over-the-counter remedies but nothing changed. Then I heard someone on the radio describing my symptoms to a T! They attributed it all to a hormonal imbalance. Who knew? My doctor had never mentioned the possibility. I started looking into it and found that there was quite a bit of information out there; including a simple test I could take from ZRT. Sure enough my hormones were out of whack! To make a long story short, I found a natural- hormone-friendly doctor through ZRT’s Find a Provider function, who is working with me to balance my hormones. She regularly monitors my hormone levels with follow-up saliva testing, but I know the treatment is working. It’s like night and day. Just ask my kids."

"I was running on empty, but didn’t know why; I guess I figured that’s what getting old feels like. I say that, but at the same time I wasn’t ready to accept it - not with six-year-old twins running around! Then my eldest daughter, a health educator who’s usually up on the latest health trends, stopped by. I was half-way through my tale of woe, when she said something about male hormones… my ears really pricked up. That was the first day of my second lease on life. First thing I did was get my hormones tested with ZRT, and even though I’m getting along in years, my numbers were lower than need be. Now I take multivitamins and natural hormone supplements and Doc usually checks my hormone levels a couple times a year to make sure the dosage is still right for me. I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables than I used to, and found a personal trainer to help me with weight bearing workouts that build up testosterone levels naturally. I feel like a million bucks. In one week last month, I won the local poker tournament, and took the twins to Disneyland. It doesn’t get any better than that. Not at my age! "

"I never thought about menopause until I was in it. And what an introduction! I started to feel like I was on a rollercoaster; always up or down, hot or cold, full of energy, or totally wiped out. Of course I went to the doctor fully expecting to be put on hormone replacement. Menopause is an estrogen deficiency disease, right? Wrong. Well I know that now, after hellish year on HRT, the same stuff they used in the big study (Women’s Health Initiative Trial) that was in the headlines a few years back--the one they suddenly stopped because it was putting women at risk for the heart attacks and breast cancer it was supposed to be preventing! HRT certainly caused me a lot of problems and it never helped me with the symptoms I took it for in the first place-- hot flashes and weight gain. So it was a good thing I found Dr. John Lee’s book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. From the first page I felt he was speaking directly to me! Since finding a physician through ZRT’s Find a Provider search, who switched me to natural progesterone, my hormone levels tested pretty well balanced – no more estrogen dominance. The hot flashes usually don’t show up unless I’m really stressed or eating spicy foods, and I’m finally starting to lose some weight!"

"I’ve had a hard time ever since my teens. While the other girls in high school were mostly thin and smooth-skinned, I had to put up with acne that wouldn’t quit, hairiness that boys made fun of, periods that came without warning, and 25 extra pounds that I’ve never been able to lose. I’m told I may never be able to have children because of the polycystic ovaries and I’ve never been so depressed. The only ray of sunshine came from a friend of a friend with the same problem who mentioned that it might be a hormone imbalance. It was suggested that I get a saliva hormone test from ZRT, so I did. And my hormones are way out in left field. This has me worried, but at least its new information. My next step is to find a doctor who knows about this stuff, since mine is not interested. I found a local compounding pharmacist through ZRT’s Find a Provider, who has helped me find a provider in my area who will help me balance my hormones naturally. That sounds like the fresh start I need."
