Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss, Brittle Nails And Hot Flashes
I have been experiencing hair loss (not in just one spot), brittle nails, hot flashes and tiredness. I recently lost 35 pounds and have been eating healthy foods (more protein, much less sugar) since March. I am 65 years old I began menopause at age 37 and had a complete hysterectomy 16 years ago.
