When paients can’t lose weight  in spite of exercise and eating healthy, they become frustrated and lose motivation towards a weight loss goal.

“Hormones are a major role in our metabolisms,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician, said. “If your hormones are not balanced, weight loss is a struggle. “

Dr. Birken is an advocate for bioidentical hormones for men and women as well.

“The HCG diet, HCG injections, and other metabolic hormones and appetite suppressants can accelerate fat reduction without losing muscle, the key to successful weight loss.  Bringing  hormones to an optimize level along with the use of HCG allows patients to lose weight with effective exercise and the proper diet.”

In addition, Dr. Birken offers CoolSculpting®, a revolutionary non-surgical contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which then is naturally eliminated from your body.  No needles, no special diets, no supplements, no surgery.  And most importantly, no downtime. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.  It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.­­ Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three month.  Fat is destroyed by the process of cryolipolysis.

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.

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

Much controversy surrounds hormones – increase in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

“Not true,” Dr. Randy Birken said. “Bioidentical hormones are not synthetic and are unfortunately grouped with these other hormones. They are a natural hormone alternative.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician as well as Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine.  He has been in practice for over 30 years and has specialized in age management or anti-aging medicine for over 10 years.

“Most patients who experience fatigue, poor sleep, decreased libido and sexual performance, foggy mind, weight gain, aches and pains, loss of muscle tone, and mood disorders find hormone restoration very positive,” Dr. Birken continued.  “There is usually an increase in overall vitality, wellness, mood, and fat reduction.  The transformations are sometimes astonishing.”

Bioidentical hormones can be given in many ways – orally, as creams or gels, injections, or with the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy.  Each patient is individually evaluated with a specific customized regimen.

“At look at each patient differently,” Dr. Birken said.  “Everyone has a unique physiology and metabolism and not one size fits all.”

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.

Hormones naturally decrease as we age and may lead to conditions such as chronic fatigue, low libido, aches and pains, poor sleep, lowered motivation, foggy thinking, mood changes, weight gain, and loss of muscle tone.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, has been prescribing bioidentical hormones as well as bioidentical pellets for both men and women.

Additionally, IV chelation therapy for detoxification of heavy metals, is an important anti-age practice that incorporates both integrative, alternative, and complementary medical approaches.
