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. At bioidenticaldoctors.com, you can find the most comprehensive list of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy specialists nationwide.  To set up your initial consultation, please review our list to find a specialist in your area to live a life of energy and health once again.

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.

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.

Control Your Hormones - Control Your Weight

Testosterone is a bioidentical hormone with many benefits for women as well as men.

With age, visceral fat begins to collect around the midsection. This type of fat is dangerous as it forms around the vital organs and leads to an increased risk of heart disease and type II diabetes. Diet and exercise can not always remove this “spare tire” that men like to joke about much more so than women!

If you are experiencing an unexplained accumulation of fat in your abdominal region, is time to see a bioidentical hormone replacement specialist.

With the prescription of a simple testosterone cream that is rubbed into the skin, it is possible that in the matter of only a few months to finally rid yourself of this unwanted, stubborn and unhealthy fat.

Not only will testosterone reduce belly fat, it will also help firm and define muscle improving body composition. In the book, How to Achieve Healthy Aging by Neal Rouzier, M.D., testosterone is described as a bioidentical hormone that protects against deterioration of muscle, ligaments, joint, tendons, bone and skin-anything that has to do with our structure and aesthetics. It is not a hormone just for men and can make all the difference in women living a vibrant life as well.

Ryan Braun is a right handed Major League Baseball Left Fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers.

The positive test results have left Braun vehemently pleading his innocence. Braun says that he could have ingested the Testosterone through DHEA supplements that are not banned by MLB. However, DHEA does convert to Testosterone in the body.

The ramifications of this are that now Braun faces a possible 50 game suspension.

The reason given for Testosterone being banned in professional sports is because it is a hormone that builds muscle mass. It helps athletes increase muscle size and strength and reduces the amount of time needed to recover from strenuous exercise. It also enables athletes to train for longer periods of time.

The question is though-should it really be banned? In world renowned hormone specialist Dr. Neal Rouzier’s book, How to Achieve Healthy Aging, he makes the difference between steroids and Testosterone clear, “One must not equate synthetic anabolic steroids with Testosterone. Testosterone is not a synthetic anabolic steroid (artificially produced hormone) it is a bioidentical hormone with many health benefits for both men and women.”

Dr. Neal Rouzier further explains in detail the benefits of this hormone saying that Testosterone protects the body against heart disease and osteoporosis, strengthens bones, decreases cholesterol levels and protects the brain against protein deposits that lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

It is unclear at this point what will really happen to Ryan Braun. Let’s stay posted and hopefully see his elevated Testosterone levels as a result -either directly or indirectly (which has been implied) of improving a health condition rather than to build bulk and perhaps maybe even see this hormone finally get the good press it deserves.

The past three months have felt like a renaissance for baseball, with a regular-season finish nobody will forget, a World Series arguably among the best ever, and an offseason percolating with big names and big moves. Lots of momentum.

A Major League Baseball official spoke happily about all this the other day, and I said to him — completely in jest, without any foresight — “Hopefully for your sake, you don’t have a big steroids bust before spring training.”

So much for that, with Ryan Braun joining Rafael Palmeiro and Manny Ramirez as the most prominent players who ever tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

What hurts the sport most is that Braun is one of baseball’s young pillars. It’s one thing if a Manny Ramirez gets nailed with a positive test, because Ramirez’s roots extend back to a time when baseball was in its wild, wild west era, the so-called steroids era, when a phone call made by a teammate could get you a package of PEDs in your clubhouse locker the next day — and nobody did anything about it.

Braun took his first at-bat in the big leagues in 2007, or the year after the players’ association and Major League Baseball finally took the needed steps to put some teeth into their drug-testing program — and for the first time, the penalty for testing positive hurt more than what you’d get for scuffing a baseball. Since then, players who’ve been suspended have ranged from the Old Guard, such as Ramirez, to fringe players such as Mike Jacobs.

Now the testing nails Braun — the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player, the face of the Brewers’ franchise and one of the best hitters in the game — coming off a season in which he hit .332 average, with 33 homers and 111 RBIs, demonstrating staggering bat speed throughout the campaign.

While baseball’s stance against performance-enhancing drugs has hardened significantly in the past decade, some officials, scouts and players have long believed that some have cheated the system, either through the use of human growth hormone (which is banned but won’t be tested for until next spring) or other unknown means. This past summer, club officials chuckled at what they considered to be the absurd physical growth of a handful of players.

As word of Braun’s positive test breaks Saturday, there are some executives who think the risk-reward equation is still incredibly one-sided. Ramirez has been busted twice, having made tens of millions of dollars over the past five years, and he was reinstated Friday by Major League Baseball.

If Braun serves a 50-game suspension next season, he will resume being paid under the terms of his $150 million contract that runs through 2020.

“Does crime pay?” one executive asked Saturday night. “Absolutely.”
