Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Women and Men in Texas

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

Age brings changes: fatigue, decreased muscle tone and strength, poor sleep, reduced libido and sexual performance, weight gain, and memory loss.

“Hormones play a big role in aged related problems,” Dr. Randy Birken, Cenegenics Medical Institute and board certified physician said.  “By optimizing hormones, patients may experience astonishing transformations.”

Bioidentical hormones, either as a cream, oral, injection, or pellets, offer women and men improved overall vitality and wellness.

Muscle tone increases, fat is reduced, endurance and stamina are increased, better libido and sexual performance, more restful sleep, and improved mood and cognition.

Dr. Birken uses the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy providing a consistent and level amount of hormones for months.  The anti-aging physician approach may reduce the risk for heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and arthritis.

Hormones decline with age causing fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, decreased libido and sexual performance, moodiness, poor sleep, and foggy mind.

By enhancing hormone levels with natural, bioidentical hormones, as creams, oral, injections, or pellets, both men and women experience improved energy and vitality and possible reduction of chronic aged related problems such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, and possibly cancer.

“As a physician, its most gratifying to see the transformation in patients,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “Weight loss as well as improved muscular tone, motivation, memory, libido, sleep, and focus are what we see.  Many patients are able to reduce their prescriptive medications as well.”

Dr. Birken individualizes hormone optimization which includes the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy for consistent levels.

“Every patient has a different physiology and metabolism, ” Dr. Birken continued.  “It’s critical to balance hormones that are unique for that person.”

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.

Bioidentical and Natural Hormones for Women and Men in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

Why do we lose muscle tone, endurance, sexual libido, and motivation as we age?  Why do we become fatigued, struggle with sleep, gain weight, develop more aches and pains, and have moodiness with age?

“It’s the decrease in hormones that leads to age related problems,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said. “And many age related diseases, such as diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, dementia, and possibly the increased risk for cancers are due to hormone deficiencies.”

Bioidentical hormones are molecular in structure to natural hormones and are not synthetic.  “That’s the difference,” Dr. Birken continued.  “They are two different kinds of hormones – synthetic hormones do not have the same physiological effects or safety compared to bioidentical hormones.”

Once hormones are optimized in a woman or man, there is improved energy, weight loss, better muscle tone, enhanced libido/sexual performance, more skin collagen, stabilized moods and sleep, as well as overall heightened vitality.  Even younger adults, and especially women on birth control hormones, have improvement if levels are low.

Dr. Birken uses oral, creams, and hormone pellets to raise deficient levels.  “The transformations we see in body contour, mood, motivation, memory, and energy is impressive,” Dr. Birken said.  “It’s the most gratifying medical service I have offered to my patients in 31 years of private practice and as Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, especially that we may be enhancing health,  wellness, and longevity.

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

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

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.
