Puzzled About Hormone Therapy?
Recently, a new analysis of the women involved in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) was published in October 20th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). In the new report, researchers have found that hormone replacement therapy not only increased the risk of breast cancer in women, but also the likelihood that she would die from the disease. While these findings may seem alarming at first, it’s important that you don’t let the media scare you into believing that all hormones are bad for you.

Medical Mondays: The Safety of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
There’s a lot of talk in the media regarding the dangers of hormone therapy. Apparently new studies have shown that hormone therapy is more dangerous than doctors originally thought. I’ve been using bioidentical hormones for 9 months now and I’m concerned that I might be putting myself at risk for breast cancer and heart disease. My doctor tells me that bioidentical hormones are different than the hormones that were used in the WHI trials and that there dangerous side effects aren’t as common because bioidentical hormones are naturally occurring. In your opinion, what makes bioidentical hormones safer and/or more effective than other forms of HRT?

Hormone Therapy to Stave Off Alzheimer’s disease?
California’s first lady Maria Shriver recently issued a new report in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s association and it’s official: Alzheimer’s is a woman’s disease. It’s estimated that two-thirds of all Alzheimer’s sufferers are women. While it’s still not clear as to why the disease is more prevalent among women, doctors and scientists agree that more than likely, several factors are to blame. Shriver mentioned that scientists are currently looking into a possible link between Alzheimer’s disease and estrogen decline.

Meet Boston Bioidentical Hormones Expert, Joseph Kaye, M.D.
Oftentimes my patients have seen multiple doctors and although they were getting some symptom relief from various medications, they really want to get to the root of the problem – they want an answer as to why they have chronic fatigue – fibromyalgia – abnormally low testosterone levels – and more importantly, what can be done to fix it. When you get to the root cause of illness, you can not only reverse the process, but also improve the patients overall quality of life.

Can Testosterone Help Women Suffering From CHF?
A recent article in USA Today discussed the findings of a study from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, regarding testosterone therapy in women with congestive heart failure. The study published in the Oct 12th issue assessed the effect of testosterone supplementation on functional capacity and insulin resistance in female patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).
I'm 28 years old and I feel like I'm losing it. I know it sounds ridiculous, but all the symptoms seem to point to menopause. My doctor tells me that I'm too young and when I asked to have my hormones evaluated, he said that it wasn't necessary and that nothing was wrong with me. I'm always feel like I'm running on empty. Given my age, is it possible that I'm feeling the way that I am is because of my hormones.</

Sex after Menopause: The Best Sex of Your Life
Menopause doesn’t have to spell the end for a woman’s sexuality. The majority of the issues women have in the bedroom, especially as they get older, are oftentimes caused by hormonal imbalance. Symptoms such as vaginal dryness, inhibited sexual desire, inability to climax and self-image issues are typical of menopause and are usually associated with declining hormone levels, namely estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.

Stress Less: Bob Ghelfi, M.D. Discusses Stress and Homones
Stress is a common feature of the American lifestyle. We are all bombarded with stimuli and deadlines each day. The body’s natural hormonal response to stress is calls for an increased production of cortisol from the adrenal glands. This hormone is very important, and it is produced at the expense of other hormones in our body. Hormones like progesterone, estrogen and testosterone and the chemicals used to create them are “stolen” to create the cortisol that our stressed out bodies crave.

Medical Mondays: Could it be Low T?
I recently read an article in the NY Times that talked about low testosterone in men. They were calling the condition andropause or "male menopause." While some doctors say that andropause is a real condition that affects the majority of middle-aged men, others claim that it's simply a myth. Regardless of what whether or not "andropause" exists, what can be done to raise testosterone levels naturally?
