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

Many men and women struggle with chronic fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido and sexual performance as well as inconsistent sleep, foggy thinkg, and moodiness.

Hormones have a profound effect on our physiology as well as mental status,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “Patients can struggle with weight gain, loss of muscle tone, as well as depressive and anxious mood changes in spite of eating well and exercising.  They become frustrated and give up on changing their lives.”

Dr. Birken is an age management medicine specialist and board certified physician.  He has done post graduate training with the Cenegenics Medical Institute, Worldlink Health, and the Grossman Wellness Center.  Currently, Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has medical offices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Both older individuals as well as younger adults benefit from bioidentical hormone optimization,” Dr. Birken continued.  “We see significant clinical transformations in most patients that include fat reduction, increased muscle strength and endurance, more restful sleep, improved motivation and energy, heightened libido and sexual function, as well as calmer and happier moods.  Overall, an increase in vitality and well-being as well as a decrease in the risk for chronic aged related diseases.”

Dr. Birken is an advocate of the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy which delivers a consistent and balanced level of  hormones for men and women.

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

Patients are confused about hormones.  Are synthetic, produced by pharmaceutical companies, safer than bioidentical hormones that are compounded by specialized pharmacies?  Do men lose hormones as they age?  At what age should a patient evaluate their hormone levels?  How long should someone stay on hormones?  And what type of hormones help?

“All common questions,” Dr. Randy A. Birken said.  “Patients are confused about what hormones are good and which kinds are safer.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified physician who specializes in bioidentical hormones and age management medicine.  He is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has done postgraduate age management medicine training with the Cenegenics Medical Institute as well as training with Dr. Neal Rouzier through Worldlink Medical.  He has medical offices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

“Fatigue, loss of muscle tone, lowered libido, weight gain, poor sleep, moodiness, lack of motivation, and mental fogginess are part of aging and usually associated with a decline in hormones for men and women,” Dr. Birken continued.  “We see impressive clinical results with bioidentical hormones that include more energy, clearer thinking, better sleep, heightened libido and sexual performance, enhanced moods, and an increase in vitality and well being.”

Dr. Birken’s bioidentical hormone programs includes blood tests for testosterone, thyroid, adrenal, and estrogen as well progesterone in women.

Hormones can be administered as capsules, transdermal creams, injections of pellets.  Dr. Birken uses the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy.

“Patients have an even and balanced availability with pellets,” Dr. Birken said.  “Its not the only way to prescribe hormones, but it is an easy way to obtain a more consistent and sustained level of hormones for months.”

Three big mood disorders – anxiety, depression, and insomnia – are experienced by all, but sometimes to a point where quality of life is compromised.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation, or CES, uses simple alpha waves to improve brain function and reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
