Meet Carol Petersen
With 31 years of experience in bio-identical hormone therapies, attending 100’s of complementary medicine conferences, writing and editing two newsletters, reading and researching staggering numbers of books and scientific papers, co-hosting Take Charge of Your Health at WBAI radio, and in practice with a compounding pharmacy specializing in bio identical hormone therapies I am grateful to have access to so many resources for healthy living. I am reaching out to my baby boomers and beyond to come along with me to explore aging gently with vitality and exuberance.
My passion to optimize health and commitment to compounding is evident in my involvement with organizations including the International College of Integrated Medicine and the American College of Apothecaries. I am also the founder and first chair for the Compounding Special Interest Group with the American Pharmacists Association.
