Hair Loss

One of the most common complaints we see in both men and women is hair loss. This is a very complex issue with multiple potential causes. It is imperative that one’s hormones are balanced and continuously monitored. One of the most common hormones attributed to this problem is dht . This is basically a bi product of testosterone. In both men and women this hormone can be elevated and associated with the typical male pattern baldness that we think of as the natural aging process.

There are many tools available to us that will decrease dht. This can range from oral prescription drugs, to topical solutions or even specific supplement regimens.

It is also important that we balance ones stress hormone ,called cortisol ,as well as all of the other hormones. Thyroid disorder is often the culprit ,as well ,whether the levels are too high or low

We also check for food as well as the heavy metal burden to one’s system.

This is a complicated issue but there are quite a few treatments that offer good results to patients

How can bioidentical hormones help diabetes?

I saw a patient today that recently saw their primary care doctor for a diabetes check up. He is on medication for diabetes,hypertension and hyperlipidemia and came to see me with complaints of fatigue and an inability to lose weight despite what he thought was proper diet and exercise.

After evaluation of his blood work and saliva testing, it was determined that he had a significantly low testosterone which was never evaluated in the past. We discussed how properly improving his testosterone could in turn, lower body fat, improve muscle mass and lower his blood sugar.

We placed him on a proper nutrition plan, exercise protocol, supplement plan, and started him on injectable testosterone. Our goal will be to decrease or eliminate his prescription drugs and improve his overall cardiometabolic status.
