Bioidentical hormones: Who should I see for these?
I just had the pleasure of speaking at a medical conference on bioidentical hormones sponsored by the International Hormone Society at the San Diego Harbor Marriott. My subject was testosterone deficiency and replacement, with an emphasis on testosterone pellet implantation. I was struck by some of the questions the attending doctors asked
“It Wasn’t Pretty”
From time to time we all get reminders as to why we do or don’t do certain things in our lives. Call them what you will–setbacks, indiscretions, trials etc. Sometimes by losing our way, we again can see why we had been doing things like we were, and that they were actually
Exercise and endorphins
We all seem to be addicted to something. Sometimes it is coffee or alcohol or food or tobacco. These substances seem to make us feel better while we use them and sometimes for a while afterwards. They probably act in a way that raises levels of certain neurotransmitters in our brains. It
The Magic Bullet: Testosterone Pellets

Hot Flashes
Many women we see at BodylogicMD of Sacramento have hot flashes as a chief complaint. A lot of these women are still having periods, although often not in a regular way. These hot flashes are annoying during the day but sometimes debilitating at night. Women often wake up in a puddle of
Got Gut?
The practice of metabolic medicine involves the optimization of metabolic pathways to allow our body to function at its maximum performance. Among many other things, this requires the adequate supportive nutrition such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids. Since our intestinal system is the gateway which allows nutrition into our
Adrenal Fatigue: The Interaction Between Stress & Your Hormones
It’s my belief that inferior doctors treat disease and superior physicians prevent it. I see patients come to the hospital who are dying from conditions that could have been prevented, from things that could have been treated early and never were. As an emergency room doctor, I developed an interest in anti-aging
