WASHINGTON -- In most classic cocktails, the star ingredient is the liquor. But the Bloody Mary revolves around its non-alcoholic flavors: tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Lani Martin went through life "in a coma." The Wyckoff resident had no energy and couldn't focus. She was losing her hair and getting depressed.
In her late 40s, Martin was not in menopause yet, but after doing some research, she thought her issues might be hormonal. Blood tests confirmed low hormone levels and she decided to try bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Bioidenticals have identical molecular structure to the hormones produced by the human body. They are derived from plants such as yams and soy.
