Dr Lam is very knowledgeable when it comes to hormone replacement and adrenal fatigue, he explains clearly how the hormones interact. I don't agree with some things that he says. Progesterone does not accumulate in the body nor does it store in fat cells, estrogen does. Estrogen is a mitogen causing fat cells to proliferate.

I used P cream for two years because I thought I was E dominant. I should have had my hormones tested first. I got worse and my symptoms were so bad I eventually had my hormones looked at and I found out I was P dominant. And I suffered adrenal burnout. Dr Lam knows his stuff and is especially well versed in anything to do with adrenal function. So my advice is to do adrenal cocktails each and every day if you suspect your adrenals are suffering, learn to deal with stress (easier said than done, especially during menopause) and get your hormones tested.
