Bioidentical Hormones 101: A Comprehensive Guide – The Wellness By Design Project

Dr. Jeffrey Dach’s Bioidentical Hormones 101 is a vital resource that demystifies the complexities of hormone therapy.

Dr. Dach’s gentle yet empowering approach equips both patients and medical professionals with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
