Bioidentical Hormone Optimization for Men and Women
As we age, our body and mind change: fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, poor sleep, sagging skin, lowered libido, mental fog and compromised memory, reduced motivation, and moodiness. We blame getting older, but why does this happen?
“Many factors are contributors,” Dr. Randy A. Birken said, “but decreasing hormone levels are one of the major players.’
Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician.
“Once we optimized lowered hormones in men and women, ” Dr. Birken continued, “we see dramatic changes. More energy and motivation, weight loss, improved muscle tone as well as libido and sexual performance. Additionally, patients sleep better and have enhanced moods with greater mental clarity. It is most gratifying as a physician to see these improvements in our patients and I know the risks for aged related diseases are reduced as well.”
Dr. Birken has studied the benefits that bioidentical hormones offer but is passionate about customizing hormones per individual.
“There is no cookie cutter way to administer hormones,” he continued. “We all have a different physiology, metabolism, and life style that must be included in designing the right hormone program.”
Dr. Birken embraces the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy as a alternate to more conventional creams and oral preparations.
“I like the even and sustained levels we get with pellets, and clinically, patients feels better as a result of the pellet’s balanced approach.”
