Bio-identical Hormones (BHRT) are an alternative to synthetic hormones for women who suffer from hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, reduced libido, and weight gain.
“BHRT are different,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics. “With bioidentical hormones, a physician can look at blood levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones. Deficiencies are restored to an optimal level producing significant clinical improvement.”
While BHRT may not be safer than synthetic, intuitively they may be, since the body recognizes the molecule as biologically identical to natural hormone production.
“They may not be for every woman, but when traditional hormones don’t work, it’s a great alternative.”

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified gynecologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine embraces the concept of bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT) for health.
“These hormones are compounded from plants and are identical to human hormones,” Dr Birken said. <p>
Menopausal or peri-menopausal patients who suffer from symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, low libido, and weight gain see improvement within weeks after starting treatment.
BHRT offers patients a more natural approach to declining hormone function.

“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.

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.”

How do we stay healthy as we age – less aches and pains, more energy, better sleep and memory, maintain a normal weight, improve muscle mass and definition, stay interested in sexual intimacy while reducing risks for chronic diseases such as heart problems, cancer, arthritis, and dementia?
“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.”

Anti-aging medicine has become the description for those clinicians who offer evaluations for bioidentical hormones, nutritional status, and neuro-transmitter testing.
“With the use of sophisticated lab tests, we can determine the vitamin, anti-oxidant, mineral, amino acids, and other essential nutritional values of a patient,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics said. “Additionally, we test for hormones that influence sleep, stress, energy, depression, anxiety, and weight control. With this valuable information, we can recommend appropriate supplements and prescribe bioidentical hormones. Patient feel well and are healthier as they age. This, with good diet and exercise, are the cornerstones to anti-aging medicine.”
Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine. For more information:

What is age management medicine? Sounds a bit mystical and unscientific. But is it?
“Nothing can stop aging, but we can slow it down and improve quality of life as we age,” said Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodands. It’s nothing like snake-oil, just good nutrition, healthy life style, and exercise … but testing for hormone deficiences as well as assessing nutritional and fitness status allows the clinician to make proper supplementation recommendations as well as prescribing natural hormones for optimal functioning.”
Dr. Randy Birken has completed his clinical training with Cenegenics Medical Institute and will be offering this prestigious executive health evaluation and age management program to Houston-The Woodlands, Texas as well as Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
“This is an exciting new dimension to our practice. While I have always incorporated the concept of diet, exercise, supplements, and hormone optimization for healthy aging, the Cenegenics program is comprehensive, advance, and effective.”
Dr. Birken will be certified with the Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation, a non-profit organization promoting medical training in age management.
