HCG has been used to promote weight loss along with a low glycemic diet and an effective exercise program.

In 1954, a medical study showed that high levels of HCG during pregnancy regulated metabolic function and controlled metabolism.  HCG appears to affect the hypothalamus gland to optimize metabolic hormones, mobilizing fat storage.

The goal of HCG treatments is to reduce hunger and promote a better sense of well-being, allowing patients to remain on a low calorie diet.

“Controversies continue,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, “but when you look at the scientific data, you see why they may be clinically better.”

Bio-identical hormones are made from plants and are molecularly identical to human hormones.

“I remember when I switched my wife from Prempro to bio-identicals,” Dr. Birken continues, “and in just a few days, she felt different.”

As patients age, there is a decrease in both reproductive as well as metabolic hormones.

“Usually, the patient experiences more energy, better sleep, improved mental functioning, easier weight loss, younger appearing skin, as well as bolstered libido.”

Recently, Oprah Winfrey has presented to her audience the concept that bio-identical hormones may be a better alternative to synthetic.

What is lipodissolve and how does it work?

“Mesotherapy (Lipodissolve) was developed in the early 1950’s and is used widely in Europe and gaining popularity in the U.S.,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, said.  “Solutions are either injected or applied without needles through a transdermal technique.  Fat is absorbed into the blood and excreted in the urine and stool.”

Dr. Birken has been performing lipodissolve for many years with much success.

“It takes several sessions to reduce fat, but now with a no-needle approach, treatment is simple, safe, and without pain.”

Is there a safety issue between bioidentical hormones and pharmaceutical hormones?

“When you study the scientific data, it seems to indicate a safer approach to hormone therapy for patients,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics,

Bio-identical hormones, made from plants and biologically similar to human hormones differ from synthetic hormones.

There is a decrease in both reproductive as well as metabolic hormones with age.  Testing includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal levels.

“Many patients say that bio-identical hormones changed their lives,” Dr. Birken said.  “Usually, one experiences more energy, better sleep, improved memory, weight loss, healthier skin, as well as improved libido.”

Bio-identical Hormones and Age Management Medicine in The Woodlands-Conroe, Texas

What are bio-identical hormones, or as some refer, natural hormone replacement, and are they safer than pharmaceutical hormones?

“Controversies continue,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, “but when you study the scientific data, you know your patients are better off.”

Bio-identical hormones are made from plants and are biologically identical to human hormones.  Synthetic hormones can be derive from plants as well as animals, but are still different than natural hormones.

“I remember when I switched my wife from Prempro to bio-identicals,” Dr. Birken continues, “and just a few days later, she felt different.”

As patients age, there is a decrease in both reproductive as well as metabolic hormones.  Testing includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal levels.  The clinician interprets the data along with the patient’s clinical presentation, and prescribes appropriate hormone replacement.

“I have had many patients tell me that bio-identical hormones have changed their lives,” Dr. Birken said.  “Usually, the patient experiences more energy, better sleep, improved mental functioning, easier weight loss, younger appearing skin, as well as bolstered libido.  It can be a new lease on life.”

While scientific data suggests that bio-identical hormones maybe safer than synthetic, it is not conclusive. Since the body recognizes these molecules as natural instead of foreign, intuitively they appear to be a better choice for those suffering from hormone deficiencies.

The pharmaceutical industry promotes synthetic hormones because they can be patented for profit.  While compounding pharmacies that make bio-identical can be more expensive than synthetic, the improved overall quality of life is worth it.  Recently, Oprah Winfrey has presented to her audience the concept that bio-identical hormones may be a better alternative to synthetic.

[ No Comments ] Posted on 01.04.10 under Conroe, Designer Laser Vaginoplasty, Houston, LVR, Labia Reduction, Labiaplasty, Montgomery County, Texas, The Woodlands, Vaginal Rejuvenation

Dr. David Matlock, a known face on Dr. 90210, pioneer of Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR) and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty (DLV), has contributed significant advances to cosmetic gynecology surgery.  But what are the advantages of these procedures over traditional vaginal tightening and labiaplasty?

“It’s the attention to cosmetic principles, aesthetic priorities, and use of the laser that raises these procedures to the gold standard,” said Dr. Randy Birken, founder of LVR of The Woodlands, Texas and an associate of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America.

Dr. Matlock has spent years refining these techniques.  His vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty surgeries have been taught to a few and select number of gynecologists and plastic surgeons.

“I am honored that Dr. Matlock accepted me into LVR of America and please to offer these unique surgeries to the Greater Houston area and South Texas,” Dr. Birken said.

“There is no magic bullet to prevent aging, but we can reduce the consequences of getting older and maintain a better quality of life at the same time,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine said.  “By optimizing hormones, incorporating proper nutrition and fitness, and recommending appropriately vitamins and anti-oxidants, a patient can feel well and stay healthier.”
