The term "Wiley Protocol" is named after its developer, T.S. Wiley. The word "protocol" comes from the Greek protokollon, which means "the first sheet of a volume" (referring to the details of a document or plan).

Description

The Wiley Protocol involves the use of bioidentical hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, which are administered in a rhythmic cycle that mimics the natural hormonal rhythms of a young woman. This is believed to help restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms associated with menopause and other hormonal imbalances.
