Most people attribute constant and chronic fatigue, low libido, poor sleep, moodiness, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, poor sleep, and mental fogginess to “just getting old.”  But blaming age may not be all correct since hormone deficiencies may be the cause.

“Once we identify reduced hormones, we then optimize.  And after that, we see profound clinical responses – more energy, weight loss, improved skin texture, better sleep, enhanced libido and sexual performance, mood elevation, motivation, and mental clarity, ” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “We can’t stop aging, but we can improve overall vitality and well-being.”

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston as well as a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician.  He has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Bioidentical hormones can be given as capsules, transdermal creams and gels, injections, and under the skin pellets.

“We customize our prescription hormone regimen,” Dr. Birken continued.  “This individualization is based on each patient’s unique physiology, metabolism, and lifestyle.”

As we age, our body and mind change: fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, poor sleep, sagging skin, lowered libido, mental fog and compromised memory, reduced motivation, and moodiness.  We blame getting older, but why does this happen?

“Many factors are contributors,” Dr. Randy A. Birken said,  “but decreasing hormone levels are one of the major players.’

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician.

“Once we optimized lowered hormones in men and women, ” Dr. Birken continued, “we see dramatic changes.  More energy and motivation, weight loss, improved muscle tone as well as libido and sexual performance.  Additionally, patients sleep better and have enhanced moods with greater mental clarity.  It is most gratifying as a physician to see these improvements in our patients and I know the risks for aged related diseases are reduced as well.”

Dr. Birken has studied the benefits that bioidentical hormones offer but is passionate about customizing hormones per individual.

“There is no cookie cutter way to administer hormones,” he continued.  “We all have a different physiology, metabolism, and life style that must be included in designing the right hormone program.”

Dr. Birken embraces the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy as a alternate to more conventional creams and oral preparations.

“I like the even and sustained levels we get with pellets, and clinically, patients feels better as a result of the pellet’s balanced approach.”

“The clinical transformations in my patients are sometimes startling,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and age management medicine specialist.  “Improvement in energy, fat reduction, better sleep, enhanced libido, mental clarity, mood elevation, and heightened motivation.  An overall increase in vitality and well being.”

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, a Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, and has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

“I personally have seen dramatic changes. In my mid-fifties, although I eat well and exercise daily, I started to lose muscle mass, gain weight, was tired, had significant aches and pains, and started to develop a gut.  After starting bioidentical hormones and hormone pellet therapy, my sore muscles and joints were gone within two weeks.  Three months later, my muscle tone was restored, my belly was flat, body fat lowered to 14 percent, and my cholesterol dropped from 245 to 160.  I’m now in my early sixties and nothing has changed since starting bioidentical hormones and having new pellets inserted every six months.”

Many patients complain of fatigue, poor sleep, decreased libido, and weight gain as they age – why? – could be a decline in hormone levels.

“Optimizing low hormone levels can restore the vitality and wellness that you had when you were 25 to 30 years old,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician and physician affiliate of the Cenegenics Medical Institute said.  “And there can be a reduction in the risks for chronic age related diseases such as diabetes, heart conditions, dementia, and arthritis.”

While bioidentical hormones can be given as capsules/pills, creams, or injections, Dr. Birken also offers the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy .

“Pellets are precisely made and provide a consistent and even hormone level,” Dr. Birken continued.  “And they’re convenient having to be replaced every 4 to 6 months.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician, specializes in optimizing hormones for both women and men.

“We tend to lose muscle mass and tone as well as reduction in endurance and stamina with age,” Dr. Birken said.  “Even our energy, memory, and libido become compromised.  This effects our quality life as well as mood and self-esteem.”

Bioidentical hormones are similar to our own hormones.

“Patients experience increase in vitality, motivation, and endurance,” Dr. Birken continued.  “Libido and sexual performance is enhanced as well as improved memory, focus, sleep, and optimism.”

Dr. Birken is a Cenegenics Medical Institute physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.  He practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

When hormones decrease, many women and men experience problems related to sleep, energy, motivation, moods, weight, endurance, libido/sexual performance, as well as memory.

“Its critical to review both reproductive as well as metabolic hormones and then to consider optimization,” Dr. Randy Birken, Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.
“When we improve hormones, most patients experience better energy, weight loss, increased muscle tone with less fat, improved sleep, heightened sexual intimacy, and clearer thinking,” he continued. “And studies suggest reduction in chronic age related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and even dementia.” Dr. Birken is a board certified physician.

The SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy  is one way of prescribing bioidentical hormones.

Why do many adults experience fatigue, poor sleep, moodiness, weight gain, decreased libido and sexual performance as well as reduced stamina and strength, loss of muscle tone/muscle mass, foggy mind, and less motivation?

Patients who take bioidentical hormones, either orally, creams, injections, or hormone pellets, regain their muscle tone, endurance, and motivation.  In addition to weight loss and clearer thinking, patients seem happier and have restored energy as well as focus.

Much controversy surrounds hormones – increase in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

“Not true,” Dr. Randy Birken said. “Bioidentical hormones are not synthetic and are unfortunately grouped with these other hormones. They are a natural hormone alternative.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician as well as Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine.  He has been in practice for over 30 years and has specialized in age management or anti-aging medicine for over 10 years.

“Most patients who experience fatigue, poor sleep, decreased libido and sexual performance, foggy mind, weight gain, aches and pains, loss of muscle tone, and mood disorders find hormone restoration very positive,” Dr. Birken continued.  “There is usually an increase in overall vitality, wellness, mood, and fat reduction.  The transformations are sometimes astonishing.”

Bioidentical hormones can be given in many ways – orally, as creams or gels, injections, or with the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy.  Each patient is individually evaluated with a specific customized regimen.

“At look at each patient differently,” Dr. Birken said.  “Everyone has a unique physiology and metabolism and not one size fits all.”
