/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

Why is it so difficult to lose weight in spite of eating healthy and exercising?  Why do we tend to become more stressed, fatigued, and mentally foggy as we age?  Why is there a decrease in libido, sexual performance, memory, and motivation as we get older?

“Declining hormones can be the problem or exacerbate the underlying problems,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “Patients usually gain weight, lose energy and motivation, have more anxiety and can’t think as well with age.  It becomes a huge frustration for someone who eats healthy and exercises regularly.”

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.  He has done postgraduate training with the Cenegenics Medical Institute as well as with Worldlink Health.  He is a published author of a novel, two collections of short stories, and a non-fiction chronicle.  Office locations are in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

“We thoroughly evaluate hormone levels in men and women,” Dr. Birken continued.  “Once these levels are optimized with bioidentical hormones, patients may restore their energy, mental clarity, motivation, and have an overall increase in vitality and well-being.  These is an increase in libido as well as weight loss due to fat reduction and more muscle mass.”

Dr. Birken uses many forms of bioidentical hormones including capsules, creams, and injections as well as the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy,a way to ensure consistent and balanced delivery of hormones over several months.  He also prescribes HCG with the HCG diet and HCG injections to promote healthy and natural weight loss and fat reduction.

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

Why do patients gain weight with age?  Why is it so difficult to lose weight as we get older in spite of a good diet and regular exercise?  Why do we lose muscle mass with dieting?  Why do so many patients regain weight after successfully losing weight?

“All common questions.” Dr. Randy A. Birken said.  “Patients find it so frustrating when they can’t lose fat and discouraged when they gain weight back.”

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

“HCG promotes fat reduction while increasing muscle mass,” Dr. Birken continued.  “That’s key to losing weight as well as keeping it off.”

Dr. Birken evaluates metabolic and other hormones that decline and make it more difficult to lose weight.

“We take a healthy, more natural, but physician supervised approach to weight management.  Patient’s learn about the best kind of diet, the right type of exercise, and take prescriptions that are bioidentical in nature for safe and effective weight loss.

Why is it more difficult to lose weight as we age?

“Hormones play a major role,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “Patients become frustrated when they diet and exercise and still can’t shed the pounds.”

By optimizing hormones and using the HCG injection hormone, patients lose fat and not muscle mass.

“That’s the key, ” Dr. Birken continued.  “When you diet and lose both fat and muscle, it’s hard to keep if off in the long run.”

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.

“HCG changes how one loses weight,” he continued. “Patients lose fat and not muscle.  They look good and can keep the weight off with the right ratio of muscle to fat.”

While an off label use, HCG as been used successfully to help patients lose weight along with proper diet, effective exercise, correct supplementation, and with hormone optimization.

HCG For Physician Weight Loss in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

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

While many pharmaceutical companies are investing time and money into weight loss research, there are few medications available today that promote better metabolism and fat reduction.

“I use a combine approach,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “By teaching effective exercise and proper diet, we utilized HCG and HCG diet along with appetite suppressants to enhance weight loss.”

HCG is a non-FDA approved, off label use of low dose pregnancy hormone that facilitates fat loss while promoting muscle mass.

“That is key,” Dr. Birken continued. “When patients diet, they lose both fat and muscle, a bad combination that leads to a “yo-yo” effect towards regaining weight.  But when you lose body fat and increase muscle mass, then your physiology changes and the weight stays off.”

HCG injections have minimal side effects and stimulate hormonal changes that create a safe, healthy, and natural weight loss.

“It’s nice to see patients have success,” Dr. Birken said.  “For many, it has been years of poor weight loss results.  Now their losing weight, looking good, have increased self-esteem, and more motivation to reach their goal.”

HCG Weight Loss – Physician Supervised Program in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

Even with proper diet and effective exercise, many patients find it difficult to lose weight or to keep it off, leading to frustration and disappointment.

“We reeducate the concept of weight loss,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “To lose weight correctly, a person needs to lose fat and not muscle mass.  That’s the only way to lose effectively and for the long term.”

Dr. Birken’s weight loss program includes monthly visits utilizing a bioelectrical impedance scale that accurately assesses weight, body fat percentage, total muscle mass, fat mass, and total body water.  Patients learn that it’s the ratio of muscle to fat that makes the difference, not just the actual weight.

“Once we teach this concept, patients understand the important of eating a low glycemic diet, interval exercise training, and the appropriate use of HCG injections and HCG diet to lose fat and not muscle,” Dr. Birken further commented.

HCG injections, creams, or nasal spray changes the metabolic thermostat so patients lose fat and not muscle.  They feel better, look healthier, have more energy, and like their new body contour and image.  Losing muscle and fat unfortunately creates fatigue, decreased endurance, and an an unhealthy gauntness.

Judicious use of appetite suppressants, weight management supplements, and weekly injections of lipotropic B12 injections enhance metabolism and effective fat reduction as well as daily use of HCG.  Occasionally, patients have certain reproductive and metabolic hormone deficiencies – optimizing with bioidentical and HCG hormones can result not only in weight loss, but mood enhancement, improved skin collagen, better sleep, increased libido and sexual performance, stronger endurance and stamina, heightened motivation, and may lower overall risk for chronic age related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, dementia, and cancer.
