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

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.

How can we stay healthier while we age?

Dr. Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician offers several medical services to enhance health and decrease diseases associated with advancing age.

Optimizing lowered hormone levels can result in increased energy, promote fat loss, improved muscle tone/mass, sharper mental focus, greater libido and sexual performance, and better sleep while reducing risks for age related diseases.  Bioidentical hormones may promote wellness and longevity.

IV nutrition is a complementary and alternative method that may reduce symptoms such as chronic fatigue, aches and pains, headaches, mood disorders, and allergies while boosting immunity towards infections.  Since our air, water, and food may contain heavy metals, IV chelation is a method to remove or detox these potential toxicities that may lead to certain diseases.  Dr. Birken is a Certified Chelation Therapist through the American College for the Advancement of Medicine.
