Age Management/Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement

Many people think that aging and the loss of vital hormones are inevitable as we get older.  Today we have the methods necessary to determine what hormones we are lacking, and the ability to use safe, bio-identical hormones, the same as what our bodies naturally produce, to keep out hormone levels at the level they used to be when we were naturally young and vibrant. 

Maintaining youthful levels of thyroid hormone, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol will help us feel better and look younger, in addition to decreasing our risks for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related phenomenon.  The use of nutritional supplements enhances the ability of our body to maintain normal biochemical reactions that can decline with age.  Exercise and stress reduction are other vital armamentarium in the age-management process.

At Integrative Dermatology we believe that an educated patient will be more motivated and will get better results with the treatment plans we suggest.  For this reason, the first step in age-management is our Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Seminar, given monthly.  Here you will learn why we suggest what we do; after attending you will recognize many of the symptoms you may have, and will understand how to alleviate them with diet, exercise, stress-management and supplementation with bio-identical hormones and nutraceuticals.

POWERPLATE®

With the hectic lives that we lead, how many of us have enough time to exercise?  How would you like to get the equivalent of an hour of weight training in 15 minutes?  By using the newest fitness machine available, the POWERPLATE®, you can do exactly that.   The POWERPLATE® is an invention which utilizes the muscle spindle stretch/contact reflex to provide ACCELERATION TRAINING™.  It works like this:  when our muscles are stretched, they must contract.   The POWERPLATE® is a platform which vibrates in 3-D – primarily up and down, but also front and back and sideways.  By standing on the platform and contracting muscles in various poses, the vibration of the platform causes even the smallest muscle fibers to contract at a rate of 30-45 times per second.  This increases the work our muscles do exponentially, which strengthens them in addition to expending energy – thus an added benefit is weight loss.  Using the platform 3X per week for 6 months will lead to increased bone mass as well, so this is a great treatment for osteopenia and osteoporosis.  Individuals who are challenged by balance issues, such as those with Parkinson’s disease or Multiple Sclerosis can maintain their muscle mass by using this ingenious invention as well.  Sessions are 15-20 minutes and package rates are available.
