/in , , , , , , , , /by

Aging can bring both wisdom and acceptance; but it can also cause fatigue, poor sleep, moodiness, weight gain, decreased libido and sexual performance, loss of muscle tone and muscle mass, and more aches and pains.

“Hormones play a significant role in the aging process,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “While eating well, exercising, and taking the right vitamins and supplements help, lowered hormone levels lead to many age related complaints.”

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and board certified as well as a Cenegenics Medical Institute physician.  He has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He has done postgraduate training with Dr. Neal Rouzier with Worlklink Medical.

“By optimizing low hormone levels in men and women, many clinical improvements can be achieved such as more energy, weight loss, better sleep, enhanced libido, more muscle tone, increased motivation, as well as better moods and overall increase in vitality and well-being.”

Dr. Birken uses many different methods for bioidentical hormone prescriptions including capsules, creams, and injections but also offers the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy.

“The pellets provide a consistent and balanced hormone delivery,” Dr. Birken continued.  “Every patient is different and has a unique metabolism and physiology that requires a customized and individual approach to bioidentical hormone optimization.”

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, offers the following medical services:

Bioidentical Hormones
Hormones are essential for normal physiology and metabolism but tend to decline through aging, menopause, disease, or trauma leading to physical and mental deterioration. BHRT hormones are prepared from plants and processed by specialized compounding pharmacists. Since BHRT are natural, they are accepted and metabolized as if our bodies made them, producing effects that are physiologic rather than therapeutic.

With the use of specific blood testing for adrenal, thyroid, as well as reproductive hormones, suboptimal levels can be re-stored to normal values leading to more energy and endurance as well as improvement in an overall sense of well-being.

BHRT options include oral, creams, injections, as well as sustained released pellets.

Patients have improved sleep, less moodiness, anxiety, and depression, as well as increased vitality, strength and libido. Restoration of thyroid and adrenal hormone aid in weight loss, increase muscle tone and mass, and improved skin texture.

IV Nutrition and Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy reduces heavy metals from the body as a detoxification process and supplements of vitamins and anti-oxidants are given to restore recommended levels.  Treatment is aimed at removing and detoxifying accumulations of harmful levels of aluminum, iron, copper, and toxic heavy metals which enhance free radical damage. Chelation might be useful to prevent or treat rapid oxidation of LDL or bad cholesterol, poor circulation, and heart disease brought on by iron overload. In addition, this combination of IV chelation/nutritional therapy has helped those with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma, and may offer help with chronic fatigue and improve overall sense of well-being.IV vitamins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids have been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, mood disorders, and cardiovascular disease while reducing free radicals that increase age related disorders.

Weight Management

Dr. Birken offers a weight management program that includes blood testing, diet and exercise counseling, as well as supplementation and prescriptions including HCG hormone injections and HCG diet to help achieve a normal body mass index. While no diet program has an easy cure for weight loss, a structured program can provide the necessary tools toward for healthy and physician supervised weight reduction protocol.
