Yes, for many people lifestyle changes related to exercise, diet and nutrition as well as taking the right supplements can help alleviate the issues related to hormone deficiencies. Even with those changes, however, some patients will require hormone replacement therapy. Combining lifestyle modification, stress reduction practice and, when necessary, bio-identical hormone replacement is a powerful approach to these problems.
