Medical Mondays: Will I need to take Hormone Therapy Forever?
I am very happy on my BHRT! It has been life changing for me. My husband on the other is a little concerned that I've been using hormones for too long of a time. And it got me thinking… How long will I have to be on hormones? Will I need to take bioidenticals forever? When is it a good time to stop using hormone therapy and are there any long-term risks associated with using bioidentical hormones indefinitely?

Meet Atlanta Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Expert, Duska Dyer, M.D.
It’s difficult to prevent disease from a reactive standpoint. Many of the health challenges affecting women and men today cannot be resolved by simply treating the patient’s symptoms. We need to take a more proactive approach to wellness, by investigating the underlying causes of these health challenges and factor in how lifestyle choices impact our overall health. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance that many women and men face as they get older are well within the realm of prevention.

One in Three Children Will Face Diabetes in Their Future
Diabetes is a scourge that is wreaking havoc in our country and creating immeasurable damage to our collective health and wealth. It’s estimated that one-third of children born since the year 2000 will grow up to become diabetics. Fortunately, diabetes is fully preventable. Our lifestyle choices and food selections continue to fuel this devastating disease. Obesity, a growing epidemic, sets the stage for inflammation and toxicity that can tax our abilities to manage our endocrine system efficiently and this failure oftentimes leads to diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

Medical Mondays: How to Slow the Body's Aging Process
As an anti-aging physician, what's your take on slowing body's aging process? I know there's nothing I can do to turn back the clock and I'm not looking for a miracle drug that can help me look and feel the way I did in my 20's. I just want to grow old without feeling old. What basic lifestyle advice would you give a patient who is simply trying to improve their overall health?

Meet Cincinnati Bioidentical Hormones Expert, Julie Kissel, M.D.
It’s not just about your andropause and menopause – from a cardiovascular standpoint, bioidentical hormones can help tremendously. Bioidentical hormones, when used properly, can help women and men significantly reduce their risk of a variety of health challenges from heart disease to osteoporosis. What it really comes down to is how much effort the patient is willing to put forth. I absolutely love talking to my patients about what they can be doing on their own to optimize their overall health - the foods they should be eating, how much exercise they should be getting and the impact stress has on their overall health.

Healthy Habits for a Happier Holiday Season
Let’s face it: the holidays can be a bit hectic – and if we’re not careful, the frenzied hustle and bustle can really take a toll on our overall health. That’s why it’s so important that we take the time to unwind, de-stress and recharge our batteries to help ensure that our health doesn’t fall by the wayside.

Medical Mondays: How to Make Your Holidays Healthier
I'm going on my third month using bioidentical hormones. I'm feeling 100% better. Not only are my symptoms gone, but I'm eating better and I started hitting the gym again, which has been tremendous for my self-esteem. Now that we're getting into the winter months, I'm afraid that the shorter days, colder weather and hectic holiday run-around will negate three months of hard work. It was hard enough to keep it together in the summer months and now that the holidays are here, it's going to be a lot harder to stay on course. Do you have any suggestions for making this holiday season a healthy one?

Taking Hormone Therapy? Don't Panic
I know that my patients and their friends are an internet and media savvy group. As such, I am sure they are aware of the recently released JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) article that dealt with the incidence of breast cancer in patients undergoing long-term follow-up in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies. This study was released several years ago after analyzing the results of giving hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in the form of synthetic Progestins (progesterone-like molecules) and Estrogens (Premarin) derived from horse urine which are most definitely NOT the same as human estrogen. Ultimately the study was discontinued because of the statistically increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and uterine cancer. The most recent data analysis looks at the incidence of breast cancer and it's complications in women from the original study who were followed for an additional 4 years. The results showed that there was a significantly increased incidence of breast cancer as well as the metastatic consequences of those cancers in the women who were given the synthetic hormones.

Meet Minnesota Bioidentical Hormones Expert, Gregory Pippert, M.D.
During my 14 years in Emergency Medicine, I got to see the worst of the worst – the end stages of a lot of different diseases. While it was wonderful to help these people, I started wondering what could be done to prevent these health challenges from a defensive standpoint. With integrative and regenerative medicine, I’m able to help my patients not only avoid disease, but also achieve an optimal overall quality of health.

Dr. Melinda Silva Discusses Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer Risk
In a new analysis of the women involved in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), researchers discovered that synthetic hormone replacement therapy used after menopause not only increased the risk of breast cancer in women, but also increased their risk of dying from the disease, when compared with women who did not receive treatment. These new findings were recently published in the October 20th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The WHI was a federally funded study that analyzed more than16,500 postmenopausal women who were given either hormone replacement therapy or a placebo.

Medical Mondays: Is my menopause making me fat?
I am post-menopausal and have been for four years now. Life after menopause has it's ups and downs. I fortunately enjoy a fantastic sex life; however, menopause has left me with a flabby tummy and fat on my back, upper hips and my lats! I eat well - low fat, quality protein, complex carbs, lots of fruit and vegetables and tons of water! What's the connection between menopause and weight gain and what can I do about it?
