The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) issued the following revised position statement, which is in favor of hormone therapy for women in menopause: http://www.menopause.org/psht12.pdf This may seem like an earth shattering statement based on new information, but I feel this is a long overdue statement. The practice of Hormone Therapy was essentially

Menopause, Hormones, and Weight Gain
Weight gain and menopause seem to go together. Many of my female patients describe rapid weight gain as they approached and entered menopause. I hear them say,”I don’t know what happened. I eat the same and exercise same, but I don’t dress the same because I can’t fit into my clothes any

Painful Sex and Response to the “Ask Amy” Advice Column
A patient of mine brought to my attention, a series of articles that appear in the “Ask Amy” advice column that appears in the Chicago Tribune. A male follower of “Ask Amy” wrote in to ask her about “Sexless Marriages”. He referred to previous “Ask Amy” articles where she blamed a lack

What Are Hot Flashes And Why Are They Happening To Me?
There are many symptoms associated with menopause, but the symptom that epitomizes menopause is the Hot Flash. About 85% of women will experience Hot Flashes as they approach and enter menopause. Some women will have intense, frequent Hot Flashes, while others have mild, infrequent Hot Flashes. Often, Hot Flashes decrease in frequency
Most women will undoubtedly experience a decline in their sex drive as they age, but what many women (and their men) don’t realize is that despite the lack of desire, the actual act of sex is often more satisfying to a perimenopausal/menopausal woman than it was in her 20s. Women need to

Hormones in Menopause
Many women that attend my monthly seminars are confused about whether or not to use hormones. Chances are, if they are at my seminar, they aren’t feeling too great and are looking for options and answers. There are, of course, risks and benefits, but there are also risks and benefits to doing

This is simply a term used for hormones that are the same molecular structure as the hormones that your body would produce. They are created in a lab from a substance that is derived from either soy

Hormone Restoration Therapy: Gaining Traction
Hormone Restoration Therapy: Gaining Traction In a few years when bioidentical hormone therapy gains more acceptance, I’ll be happy to say that I was in the game early. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal (9/27/11) featured the article titled ‘New Views of Hormone Therapy in Menopause,’ and I have several comments. The article correctly
I just posted an article this week that criticized the media and some physicians for generating a lot of confusion regarding hormone therapy (see Progesterone and Progestins). In particular, I mentioned how the data presented in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) has not been represented accurately to the public. It has caused

Hello world!
Welcome to my blog for BodyLogicMD of Little Rock about natural (or bio-identical) hormone replacement. I’m here to give information, updates, and hopefully to answer some burning questions about menopause, andropause, and related topics. So check back weekly to see what’s new!
I've been doing some reading on bioidentical hormone therapy, because a lot of my symptoms point towards a hormonal imbalance - I'm guessing early menopause because I'm only 34... Many of the symptoms, like hot flashes, night sweats etc. don't affect me, but I'm tired all the time and have put a lot of weight on recently. I've also been really bloated lately, but haven't found any link between menopause and bloating, so I'm not certain that's what it is. Are there other symptoms of menopause that aren't talked about as much as hot flashes and all the other trademark menopause symptoms?
