Hormones are chemicals produced by glands. There are more than 100 types of hormones in a healthy body. The brain regulates, translates, and interprets its electricity code as hormonal output from the various internal organs. When hormone output is high, both men and women feel healthy, sexy, and young.
As we age, our organs get to a point where they no longer produce their corresponding hormone on their own. The brain tries desperately to resurrect the dying parts of our body by sending more and more electrical signals to our hypothalamus which begins to release hormones to the pituitary gland that simulates the ovaries, testicles, adrenal glands, thyroid, and liver in an attempt to save it. But no such luck. Instead, cortisol increases, and we end up feeling lots of anxiety, and collecting belly fat. Worse, without natural hormone supplementation, these same internal organs will die and drag your entire health down with it. For many women, perimenopause as well as menopause can look and feel like a march into “shrinkhood”: women lose height, get weaker, lose mental functioning as well as their sexual drive, and notice drying and wrinkled skin as well as decreased sensitivity to touch. Male menopause is commonly referred to as andropause, and is marked by a decline in sexual function. I reverse the symptoms of menopause and andropause every single day with my patients. When treated correctly, my patients look and feel better as they lose weight, increase muscle mass, increase libido, increase arousal, increase orgasm, and get rid of their depression. Why Go Bioidentical?All hormone therapies are not created equal. I only prescribe bioidentical hormones, which are plant-based, natural and safe. These compounds have the exact same molecular structure as those made in the human body. Because of this, they produce the same physiologic responses as the body’s natural hormones. Bio-identical hormones have been available for over 20 years. They are so lacking in side effects that they are frequently sold over the counter as nutrient supplements (melatonin, pregnenolone, vitamin D3 and DHEA to name a few). There is a wide range of bioidentical hormones that you can consider replacing, depending on your current health status. On the other hand, synthetic estrogens are still being made from horse urine and have been known for years to cause an increase in blood clots, heart attacks, stroke, and breast cancer. It has been scientifically determined that women taking hormones derived from horses (methyltestosterone) have an increased rate of cancer. Other complications associated with synthetic estrogen and progesterone include weight gain, heart disease, and stroke. It has also been shown that growth hormone from cadavers causes cancer.

And if you are older and have already experienced the symptoms of menopause, then you can reverse them simply by following my brain balancing program. Here are some of the symptoms you can expect to reverse with the right bioidentical hormone therapy:
Men: Reverse Andropause and Get Your Sex Life Back on TrackAn estimated 5 million American men have a medical condition called hypogonadism, or low testosterone. The rest of us simply lose testosterone as we age. Andropause, the male equivalent of menopause, is marked by this decline in testosterone. Andropause affects every aspect of sex, from desire to performance. It also can affect our mood, memory and thinking, and most of all, our health. Andropause typically begins at age 40, but can occur earlier in life if you are under enormous stress, have episodes of depression, excessive athleticism or drug use. The good news is that once these scenarios are reversed, your testosterone levels will naturally increase. And if you are losing testosterone because of natural aging, then you can replace this hormone and others naturally with bioidentical options. Here are some of the symptoms you can expect to reverse with the right bioidentical hormone therapy:
