Are you running out of energy in the late afternoon?

Are you gaining weight, but still exercising and eating right? Did you have your thyroid checked and your doctor said that everything is ‘normal”? What do you think? Of course it’s not normal. You know what normal is for you, and this isn’t it! Do you want to restore your energy levels, lose weight, and get back to “your” normal? The answer is easy. The solution is right in your grasp. All you need to do is have someone carefully assess your thyroid function, not the once over lightly, and treat you like a person, not a lab test.

I would rather have a smoothie.

Unfortunately no amount of exercise, healthy diet, botox or facial cream can change the fact that as we age, hormone levels in our body begin plummeting, affecting sexual desire, response, and performance. Our society focuses on ED, but menopause brings with it lower desire for and increased discomfort during sexual activity. Therefore, “I would rather have a smoothie” was the calling card for the one of the sex symbols of the 80’s, Suzanne Somers. Balancing hormones enables patients to go from the “too worn out for sex” to feeling re-energized and ready for romance.

So how important is Cholesterol?

It is the foundation for all of the hormones that are so kind to you. It helps build Vitamin D. It keeps your digestion working better and allows you to remember where you put your car keys. It’s NOT the bad guy, inflammation is the bad guy. Inflammation causes cancer, heart disease, pain and agony. So why are we so focused on cholesterol? Because it made the pharmaceutical companies 32 billion dollars last year? Because it made the insurance companies millions of dollars referring to people with elevated cholesterol, as high risk heart patients and therefore increasing their premiums. Of course it’s not the cholesterol. It’s money, it’s a big business and YOU are the one being screwed. So take fish oils, resveratrol, and natural remedies to fight inflammation, and stay away from the dangerous statins.

Restoration of Health and well being.

When we were in our 20’s and 30’s, we had unending energy, youthful energy. So why did that leave us? It left us when our hormones started to disappear. Why not take the same hormones that were so kind to us in our 30’s and bring them back? Will it increase cancer, heart disease? In fact, the absence of these hormones has lead to 1 out of every 2.8 women having heart disease, and 80% of breast cancers occurring after menopause. So what so good about that? Studies have shown a reduction of up to 24% of breast cancers, reduction of a mortality of heart disease and stroke by 60%, and a significant improvement in energy, quality of sleep, weight issues, memory, and libido when those hormones are restored. So why not restore them?
