What are your views on bioidentical hormone creams?

Bioidentical hormone creams come with certain considerations. When you take hormones, it raises the question of why your glands aren't producing enough naturally. While aging can be a factor, the body, particularly the adrenal glands, should ideally compensate. Relying on external hormones can lead to reduced natural production and increased dependency. A better approach might be to strengthen the glands, particularly the adrenal glands, using desiccated adrenal support or adaptogens like ashwagandha to encourage natural hormone production.
