Bioidentical Hormones for Women and Men: Age Management Medicine

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

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.”

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.

As we age, cells, tissue, and organs change creating higher risks for chronic age related diseases such as heart conditions, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and senility.  Additionally, there is a slow decrease in energy, sleep, muscle tone, and sexual libido and performance as well as weight gain, increased fat accumulation, and foggy mind.

Restoring deficient hormone levels, detoxifying the body of impurities such as heavy metals, improving vitamin and anti-oxidant storage by both oral and IV administration, and reducing fat can create better energy, sleep, endurance, stamina, libido, and memory.

Dr. Randy A. Birken, MD, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, helps both men and women obtain a stronger and more vibrant person while helping to reduce age related diseases and deterioration as well as changing chronic fatigue into more sustained energy.

Bioidentical hormones given orally, as creams, or slow released pellets, can restore lowered levels; chelation of heavy metals can reduce the ravages of oxidative stress on body organs and possible improve blood flow; and proper vitamin and anti-oxidant therapy. both oral and IV, can improve the body’s defenses to chronic age related diseases.  Using HCG hormone and HCG diet can also promote healthy, natural, and physician guided weight loss along with proper diet and effective exercise.

These complementary and alternative medical options utilize integrative medicine concepts resulting in improved chances for wellness and longevity.

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.
