BodyLogicMD’s Hormone Therapy Blog

BodyLogicMD’s national network of highly trained physicians has helped tens of thousands of patients find relief from symptoms of hormonal imbalances such as perimenopause, menopause, andropause (the male menopause), thyroid disorder and stress-induced adrenal fatigue. BodyLogicMD’s expert physicians prescribe a three-pronged approach to wellness, integrating bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with customized fitness and nutrition programs as well as stress reduction techniques.

Bioidentical hormones replace the hormones that your body no longer produces naturally. Think of bioidentical hormones as a cast that you would use to stabilize a broken arm. The cast serves as a quick-fix solution designed to repair the broken limb. You wouldn’t keep the cast on indefinitely, right? Bioidentical hormones work in the same way. During treatment, the bioidentical hormones correct underlying causes of hormonal imbalance and eventually restore the hormonal balance to a state of normalcy.  At this point, bioidentical hormones are no longer necessary – that’s where fitness and nutrition come into play. Fitness and nutrition are the building blocks of health and wellness and help maintain hormonal balance.

Fitness isn’t limited to bench-pressing and power lifting and you don’t have to run a marathon either. Fitness can be a brisk afternoon walk, a few laps in the pool or even taking the dog for a long walk. Basically fitness involves any activity that get’s the heart pumping. Fitness isn’t just about getting that “beach-body” either. Physical activity is the best way to avoid plague build-up within the inner walls of arteries, which can lead to atherosclerosis and even heart attack and stroke. BodyLogicMD physicians customize exercise programs, individually tailored to meet the needs of each patient.

Nutrition is paramount when it comes to your health and wellness. It’s important to know what foods you should be eating and what foods you should avoid in order to ensure a healthier existence. Antioxidants are key in avoiding many age-related diseases and conditions. Malnutrition has been linked to diseases including diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease, cancer, and dementia and can often lead to obesity, osteoporosis, stroke and heart attack. It’s important to understand that what you put into your body is conducive to what you get out of it.

BodyLogicMD physicians specialize in helping men and women in their 30’s and older overcome the symptoms of hormonal imbalance using bioidentical hormones, fitness and nutrition.
