Testimonials
I have the pleasure of knowing Carol Petersen, RPh and CNP for over 25 years. Carol has become a true friend after years of generously consulting with me regarding my patients on various health protocols and hormonal health options. She is a font of knowledge and is well connected with some of the most leading edge functional medicine practitioners. As a result we have spent many hour collaborating on protocols for diverse health concerns.
Carol is a grounded, caring, knowledgeable and articulate individual that is a gift to those on a healing path.
I am a biochemist who has spent years researching hormones.
Carol Petersen is an extraordinary colleague and we have written together and spoken together at various scientific meetings.
She has an unusual ability to get to the heart of hormone data, which is the arena I know. She is able to draw out fascinating, little known information, this was exemplified in our recent joint letter in Townsend Journal in June 2020 advocating the critical importance of progesterone, and the various pathways.
She is funny, appropriately irreverent and fun to spend time with when, in the old days (BC) we would meet up at conferences, have a glass of wine after a long day, and some Vitamin C.
She has written extensively for the Women’s Health Connection that has been an invaluable asset in the education of women about the molecular differences in hormones, and what that means clinically and notably, has stood up to pharma, and connected organizations, whose interests are not always in the best interest for the emotional and physical health of women.
Carol was my seat mate on an airplane, within minutes of meeting she had saved my relationship and changed my life for the better. I kid you not, she is that good.
Carol Petersen has literally saved my life and the life of my mother by her extensive knowledge of hormones. I first spoke to Carol about 25 years ago when I thought I was going to have a heart attack on Christmas eve. After being hysterical and hopping from one doctor to another misdiagnosed, it was Carol who called at midnight to calm me and inform me that she was sure I had an adrenal problem from my symptoms. Further testing concluded Carol was correct. She has guided me through the ups and downs of hormonal problems for decades. That began me on the road to recovery. When my mother almost passed out with 80/50 blood pressure and a low heartrate last year, she worked diligently with my doctor to ascertain a recovery of adrenal insufficiency. Carol is proficient at what almost every doctor misses. Hormones are one of the most difficult medical problems to solve. They require time, patience, constant adjustments, and more than a textbook knowledge. Carol always seem to find a solution as well as recommending supplements to alleviate hormonal problems and symptoms. I know my mother and I could not live without her!
Carol is one of the most knowledgeable pharmacists I have the pleasure and privilege of meeting! Intelligent, to the point, well researched and trustworthy information. Love her!
I met Carol Petersen at a Functional Medicine conference and we had an immediate intellectual connection. She is very easy to get along with and; she is also a fountain of knowledge, and this is more accurate when it comes to hormonal physiology, imbalances and deficiencies. She is always integrating new knowledge and cutting edge science. Carol is passionate about helping people, she strongly believes many of your problems are caused by hormonal imbalances that are not addressed in the current traditional system. Working with Carol is definitely enlightening!
“Your letter to the FDA was valuable at the November 2019 hearings (on mercury amalgam) – a pharmacist who has intensely studied pharmacology. I was the one who stood and read it into the record”
Carol combines an enquiring mind with a passion for helping people achieve abundant health. I have invited her to my team as a writer and editor for www.worldhealth.net, the original voice of the American Academy of Anti-Aging, Preventative, and Regenerative Medicine

Most of us have likely heard about hydrocortisone. We can find it in creams and gels in the pharmacy in the skin care sections, the hemorrhoids section, and the first aid section.

Erectile Dysfunction
If you wonder how big a problem erectile dysfunction actually is – consider the annual sales of “virility” drugs including Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. In 2014 Cialis ranked #44 in the top drugs used worldwide with revenues of 2.29 billion dollars. Viagra still pulls in around 2 billion dollars per year for Pfizer. Levitra comes in significant third in sales.
