This is your brain on menopause…
When a woman is in her 20’s and 30’s, she relies on a delicate balance of hormones to maintain her youthful curves and physique. When these hormones begin to decline, as they do in the months and years leading up to menopause, it’s common for women to notice some changes, such as fluctuations in weight and changes in skin texture. And as if being blindsided by hot flashes and night sweats wasn’t enough, in addition to the physical changes taking place, psychological and emotional factors are also at work.

Medical Mondays: Which Supplements Should I Be Taking?
I really want to do everything in my power to get healthy in the coming New Year. I've started working out here and there and I've also eliminated certain foods from my diet that were likely doing more harm than good. I used to take a women's multi-vitamin, but a girlfriend of mine recently told me that I should be careful when using supplements/vitamins, because many are not as effective or safe as the manufacturers claim. What are some supplements that you would recommend for a menopausal woman?

9 Steps to a Healthier You this New Year
Many Americans list out well-meaning changes to make the incoming year better than the last, but how many of those New Year resolutions have the lasting positive impact on our health that we desire? Our resolutions often involve change that is either incompatible with our daily lives or too drastic to be realistic. Dr. Gregory Pippert, medical director of BodyLogicMD of Maple Grove, stresses that creating lasting healthful change can be attained first and foremost by adhering to a few simple steps.

Women who have undergone hysterectomy may benefit from BHRT
The best time to start taking an estrogen regimen is within the first 3 years of menopause. This gives better bone and cardiac protection because it is taken for a longer period of time. It is best to start immediately rather than waiting for a problem to develop.

Medical Mondays: Why are plastic water bottles dangerous for my health?
“The other night I watched a special news report that talked about the dangers of drinking from plastic water bottles and heating up plastic leftover containers in the microwave. They said that by heating and cooling certain plastics, you’re releasing harmful chemicals that can potentially lead to hormonal imbalances and even some forms of cancer. Which plastics should I avoid and how do they affect my overall health?”

S.M.A.R.T. Secrets to Healthy New Year’s Resolutions
The New Year is here and with it we welcome new beginnings — the chance to turn over a new leaf and make a change for the better. Each year millions of us make a commitment to change. And although our New Year’s resolutions tend to vary from person to person, we’ve all been guilty of making commitments to our health that we ultimately fail to uphold. According to David Smithson, M.D., Medical Director of BodyLogicMD of Birmingham, when it comes to setting health goals for the New Year, the key to success is determination and diligent planning.

Meet Phoenix Bioidentical Hormones Expert, Eric Honing, M.D.
The main problem with today’s healthcare is that as physicians, we’re typically trained on how to take care of women and men once they’re already sick, with little knowledge of how to prevent disease in the first place. That’s why integrative and functional medicine is so exciting for me, because now I have the opportunity to help women and men prevent diseases and health challenges, through the implementation of proactive wellness regimens, helping them achieve optimal overall health.

Weighing the risks and benefits of hormone therapy
Finally, authors who are willing to look at the “good news” results from the WHI and to look at the hormone that is actually causing the increase in breast cancer – it’s the progestin, not the estrogen. As the authors state this is old news, in the WHI it was clearly shown that women who took estrogen only did have a decreased risk of breast cancer. Even though as the authors state that overall the reduction did not reach clinical significance, the message that is important is that estrogen alone did not INCREASE the risk of breast cancer. The only group that showed an increased risk of breast cancer was the group where estrogens were combined with progestin (an artificial form of progesterone).

Hormone Therapy May Reduce Likelihood of Breast Cancer in Some Women
Once again physicians are looking at the WHI results and trying to justify the use of Premarin. One has to wonder, given all we know about how toxic this drug is, why do they continue to do so? I wonder if there is a financial incentive from the drug company that manufactures Premarin. I would be curious about who is funding their research. The WHI study used Premarin, a form of estrogen hormone replacement therapy (EHRT) derived from the urine of pregant mares. It is well known to increase the risk of breast cancer, blood clots, and do little to prevent age-related, degenerative diseases, such as dementia or osteoporosis.

Medical Mondays: How do I know if I'm going through perimenopause?

Male Menopause Affects More than 50 percent of Men Over the Age of 50
Nashville bioidentical hormones expert, Benita Swartout, D.O. was recently featured in a special report on andropause – the male menopause on WNDU Local News. According to the report, more than 50 percent of American males over the age of 50 currently suffer from the hormonal imbalance known as andropause – that’s somewhere in the ballpark of 25 million men.
More and more patients come to me with the signs of hormonal imbalance, including fatigue, depression, night sweats, hot flashes, foggy thinking, weight gain and diminished libido. With a combination of BHRT – arguably the most effective treatment for hormonal imbalance – a structured fitness regime and a diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients, we can help the women and men who come to us achieve optimum health.
