Bioidentical Hormones and Age Management Medicine in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

Why do we age?  Certainly, lifestyle and genetics play a significant role, but declining hormones, increased oxidative stress from normal metabolism and exposure to toxins in the soil, air, and water, as well as poor nutrition and reduced exercise contribute to age related problems such as fatigue, weight gain, moodiness, poor sleep, reduced libido and sexual performance, loss of muscle tone, as well as lowered endurance and stamina.  Additionally, there is a an increased risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiac disorders, arthritis, and dementia.

Dr. Randy Birken, a Cenegenics Medical Institute trained and board certified physician, specializes in bioidentical hormone optimization, proper vitamin supplementation, weight management, and chelation for toxic heavy metals.  Testing includes both reproductive and metabolic hormones, heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, and nutritional evaluation.

“By bringing low hormone levels back to optimal values, educating effective exercise and proper nutrition, and ridding the body of toxic heavy metals along with good vitamin supplementation, patients can experience improved energy, better sleep, weight reduction, enhanced libido, and improved memory and mood while reducing risks for chronic aged diseases,” Dr. Birken said.

Hormones can be given orally, as creams, injections, or pellets.  The SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy provides a consistent and even level of hormones for both women and men for many months. Studies indicate improved wellness and possible increased longevity.  This, combined with IV nutrition and IV chelation/detoxification may decrease the risk for aged related disorders.
