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.Â 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.â€

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?

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.”

[ No Comments ] Posted on 03.03.10 under Age Management Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, Bio-identical Hormones, BioIdentical Hormones, Cenegenics, Conroe, Houston, Montgomery County, Steamboat Springs, Texas, The Woodlands, Women's Health

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.Â Testing includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal levels.

“Many patients say that bio-identical hormones changed their lives,” Dr. Birken said.Â “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

[ No Comments ] Posted on 01.15.10 under Age Management Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, Bio-identical Hormones, BioIdentical Hormones, Cenegenics, Conroe, Functional Medicine for Healthy Aging, Houston, Montgomery County, Texas, The Woodlands, Vitamins for Healthy Aging, Women's Health

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.Â 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.Â Testing includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal levels.Â 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.Â “Usually, the patient experiences more energy, better sleep, improved mental functioning, easier weight loss, younger appearing skin, as well as bolstered libido.Â 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.Â While compounding pharmacies that make bio-identical can be more expensive than synthetic, the improved overall quality of life is worth it.Â Recently, Oprah Winfrey has presented to her audience the concept that bio-identical hormones may be a better alternative to synthetic.
