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

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

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.

Heavy metal pollutants can create health hazards and reduce the normal physiological processes from optimal function.  Additionally, deficiencies in anti-oxidants and vitamins can lead to a higher risk for age related disorders.

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 detoxing accumluations 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.

This functional medicine approach incorporates complementary and alternative medical as well as age managment concepts for well-being and possible longevity.
