Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy


        When our hormones are out of balance our body cannot function optimally. Hormones are the catalysts for all our bodies’ reactions.  One common imbalance is clinical hypothyroidism; we are low in thyroid hormone. Consequently our body runs colder, our engine idle is set too low and all reactions, both chemical and electrical, are carried out sub optimal. The resulting sluggish metabolism makes weight loss nearly impossible until it is corrected. In addition these unfortunate patients feel weak and tired all day then have difficulty sleeping all night not to mention the mood swings, irritability, and dry skin that plagues them. If this sounds like you don’t worry it’s relatively simple to correct. 

Although hormonal balance is extremely complex lets simplify one aspect of thyroid, and its effect on temperature. Cholesterol through a series of intricate reactions forms Cortisol, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone and several other essential steroids, the delicate balance, upon which our “feeling and being” normal depends.  If these conversions occur optimally at 98.6 degrees and your temperature is only 96 degrees, then these reactions must be compromised.  A simple test and treatment of a small dose of Natural, Bio-identical thyroid can bring a patient back to running at 100% efficiency.
Our bodies are fascinating, complex, and beautiful machines that work true miracles 24 X 7 even when running a little out of sync.  It is no surprise unless severe, most patients don’t even realize minor imbalances, but over time stressors can add up. It therefore is wise to evaluate the total wellness picture even if our goal is weight loss.

At American Physicians, we measure, we determine what your missing, we replace the identical substance lacking then retest to confirm the proper dose.

As mammals our life should be like the Lion, sleeping all day and only getting excited when it’s time to chase a zebra. Unfortunately for us we are faced with a plethora of stressors, (finances, work, etc.) that exhausts our adrenals.
I have had patients who come in complaining they can hardly get out of bed due to fatigue. We test to determine what’s lacking, replace with naturally occurring bio-identicals and within days they are full of energy.
In 22 years of practicing anesthesiology, literally saving lives in the Operating Room, I have never received the sincere thanks I get from a typical Adrenal fatigue patient. Treatment solely with natural medication and vitamins help "get their lead boots off" and “lets them live again”.

I leave you with one thought, with all the cholesterol lowering "monster drugs" modern medicine is pushing, it is easy to see why so many men need Viagra???  We drive down their Cholesterol unnaturally and therefore they can’t make Testosterone, and ladies, your body needs Testosterone as well. (Remember, cholesterol is also the precursor of all the sex steroids).

Let’s review the benefits of normal Testosterone levels

Testosterone helps to:

Promote muscle strength and exercise endurance; maintenance of Muscle Mass; lower Fat Mass
Reduced cardiac risk;  lower LDL and Trig; increase HDL/ reduces metabolic syndrome
Improve libido and erectile function
Increase energy levels
Improve sense of well-being
Increase body hair production
Produce enlargement of the penis and testes as well as clitoris
Improve sexual desire and fantasy
Improve bone density, reduced osteoporosis

      Make an appointment today for Saliva testing

Saliva testing measures the level of hormone actively transported into the cell nucleus, where it functions; Therefore Saliva testing gives us a much more valuable measurement than blood does and, you give the sample relaxed at home without the stress of a needle stick,(a great idea since we want to measure your stress hormones as well).
