Human Growth Hormone. It is a metabolic hormone with many benefits.  In Suzanne Somer’s book, Ageless, Dr. Michael Galitzer claims these positive benefits from human growth hormone:  Promotion of wound healing, improvement in vitality and energy, reduces body fat (Suzanne mentions that her son now has a six-pack abdomen since taking it), increases lean body mass, strengthens muscles, improves skin elasticity and sometimes reverses the graying of hair.

It is also a hormone that is considered brain food. The higher the levels the sharper the brain. Also, higher HGH levels support the immune system more efficiently and it also reverses atherosclerosis in the cartoid arteries. Other benefits are: the control of chronic inflammation, increases aerobic capacity, protects the bone, lowers blood pressure, improves memory, improves vision, is responsible for growth, improves ability to sleep and to handle stress.

Like all hormones, HGH lessens with age. However, it should only be used in hormone replacement therapy if there is a serious deficiency and should not be replaced if not necessary (hence the sudden media attention every time an otherwise healthy athlete is found to be injecting it).

If you believe you may be suffering from a deficiency of this profound hormone, get your levels checked, please visit our list of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy specialists who may be able to assist you at:  www.bioidenticaldoctors.com.

Stop suffering from Andropause

It may come as sweet revenge to some women who have cried over the injustices of being female: menstruation, pregnancy and menopause come to mind; that men can go through one of these as well: menopause. But for men, we call it Andropause and  it is sometimes referred to as Man-Opause.

Although men can have many of the same symptoms of a woman going through menopause, they do not lose their ability to reproduce at this time.

What has happened to the man is that he is experiencing a drop in testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone causing emotional and physical changes during his mid-life. Thirty percent of men by their mid-fifties experience Andropause.

Some of the symptoms are:  loss of libido-including impotence, fatigue, depression, hot flashes, interrupted sleep, and aches and pains.

The good news is that it can be treated through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with lotions, pellets or injections. Improvements in diet and exercise will also greatly benefit the male suffering from male menopause.

Reclaim your youth men and while you are at it, regain your libido and lust for life. Visit our list at: www.bioidenticalhormonedoctors.com and have a great 2012!

Stop suffering from hot flashes with BHRT.

That dreaded two-letter word is back! Hot Flashes. That shock of unbearable heat enveloping your face, neck and chest making you want to tear off your clothes, blankets, whatever is on you as fast as possible and run towards the nearest a/c unit even if it’s in the middle of winter in Maine.

And what’s worse, is that it happens at the worst times imaginable-during sleep, in the middle of a presentation or putting an abrupt halt to intimacy with your loved one. And you typically feel the need to explain the obvious shift in your demeanor and blushing skin to others causing further embarrassment.

Hot flashes are the top complaint of women experiencing peri-menopause or menopause. What is happening is that your estrogen and progesterone levels are declining and becoming imbalanced. The annoying symptom of hot flashes can last as long as a year.

The good news is that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help. Many patients of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy claim that they have eliminated hot flashes and therefore get a full nights rest making them feel young again.

We have the largest list in the nation of bioidentical hormone replacement therapists at www.bioidenticaldoctors.com. Search it to find one in your area to start getting a good night’s sleep and reclaiming a full life without the embarrassing and uncomfortable interruptions of hot flashes.

Are you suffering from low hormone levels?

Hormonal imbalance plays a large role with mental and emotional symptoms as well as illness. All the symptoms of aging from fatigue to wrinkles are also caused by our hormones depleting.

Ideally the best way to remedy hormone imbalance is to have hormones replaced by bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. You can find someone in your area that specializes in the treatment at: bioidentical hormone doctors.

The following are symptoms of hormonal loss:  loss of energy, intellectual and sexual dysfunction, weight gain, lack of luster in the hair and skin, inability to sleep, stress, depression, the onset of menopause, colds or worse-cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s  and osteoporosis.

The following is a list of some of the most important hormones and what can happen if they are imbalanced in our bodies:

• Estrogen-heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol, Alzheimer’s and memory loss, osteoporosis
• Progesterone-breast and uterine cancer, mood swings
• Testosterone-low libido, low energy and Alzheimer’s
• Thyroid-low metabolism, fat, coarse hair, dry skin, fatigue
• Melatonin-sleep deprivation

The above information is to give you an idea of what an important role hormones play in having a healthy and disease- free life. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, male or female, please contact one of our specialists in your area by visiting www.bioidenticalhormonedoctors.com today.
