Stop suffering from Menopause or Andropause with BHRT.

Combined with the right diet and exercise, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment to help eradicate a number of ailments that are cause by: menopause in both women and men (called “andropause” for men), PMS, perimenopause, and adrenal fatigue.

Bioidentical hormones are made from plants and processed in a laboratory into an exact replica of those made by the human body.

Different, and more safe than synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy results in the body responding positively to the hormones that are replaced into the body in a form that the body recognizes.  Synthetic hormones are made from animals (typically horses and pigs) that the body reacts to with painful and unpleasant side effects.

The importance of proper hormone balance cannot be over emphasized.  Without it, symptoms from fatigue to life threatening disease can result.  All of us have hormones that deplete with age and this in fact causes the aging process-everything from gray hairs to loss of libido. So, no matter who you are, hormone depletion is something that is inescapable.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy must be prescribed and performed by a well-trained specialist in this exciting field of preventative medicine.

When it comes to the subjects of hormones and Hollywood, well there’s a lot to be said! At first you probably flash to a mental image of Suzanne Somers sitting on Oprah’s couch that Tom Cruise animatedly jumped on professing what seemed like a hormone induced confession of love for Katie Holmes!

But were talking about a specific hormone here today. One that seems to be replacing viagra and botox in the elite Hollywood circles. This hormone is called HGH-short for Human Growth Hormone. This is a hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland that promotes growth in the early stages of development. HGH also maintains our tissues and organs.

In the past, HGH made its debut in the world of sports, specifically baseball, where users were found to have an uncanny edge to their abilities. It was banned by Major League Baseball in 2005 mostly for financial reasons (MLB feared that fans would misinterpret its use in a negative way and assume all players were using it).

But it’s returned for its comeback role.  In the next issue of Vanity Fair the hormone and its use in Hollywood is further explored. A talent manager says “any actor over 50 you’re still seeing with a ripped stomach and veins in his forearms is probably taking HGH.”  It is further described as a “fountain of youth in a syringe.”

HGH users boast firmer skin, stronger libidos, better sleep, the elimination of gray hairs, and feel decades younger.

Hollywood supporters of HGH include: Nick Nolte, Suzanne Somers, Alana Stewart and Sylvester Stallone.

HGH is available by prescription for those that have a deficiency of the hormone.

If you are concerned you may be suffering from a decline in HGH, please contact one of our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy specialists at: www.bioidenticaldoctors.com.

So, how much of an effect does human growth hormone have on the body? One man, Dr. Uzzi Reiss admits that he’s “been taking H.G.H. for many years. I have the energy and vibrancy of a man half my age … I don’t get sick, don’t get jet-lagged. I can’t see why anybody would inject H.G.H. if it doesn’t have any benefits.”

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).

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!
