And it begins…

I've been on the fence about using bioidentical hormones for a few months now - ever since I read about them in a NY Times article earlier this year. I recently had a consultation with a doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy here in Arizona. It was a bit of a drive, but well worth it. I feel like, even if I don't get the results I'm looking for, I still learned a lot about how the body works and what I can be doing to make myself healthier.

My doctor discussed how diet and excercise - or lack thereof - can affect hormones and recommended that I make some changes now, to spare myself a lot of health issues later on in life. I've been searching for a way to reinvent myself and I think I've found in with my new doctor. In addition to the bioidentical hormones, I'm also taking supplements now - I always thought that vitamins were for kids, but apparently they work wonders for adults too.

I've only been using the bioidenticals for 3 days and I haven't noticed any significant changes, although I'm definitely more optimistic than I was before I started treatment. I feel like now I have something to look forward to. I can't wait to start seeing some progress - I've read other bloggers' accounts of treatment and some have noticed results in the first few weeks!

I'll definitely drop in again soon to give an update.

By the way, this is a great site. It's good for men to talk about this stuff, becuase too many men are in the dark on the whole male menopause issue.

Testosterone Testimonial

We have placed a really well-thought-out article (a letter to Roanoke Times) on this blog for you to read.  It’s about TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). The author is using bioidentical hormones to balance testosterone levels.

Men, you should read this article.  It clearly argues that there is a difference, not made clear by many physicians or researchers, between bioidentical and synthetic hormones used in replacement.  Most, if not all, problems referred to in the medical and research literature (as this testimonial notes) occur in reference to synthetic products.

Read this article. For my part, I feel it truly reflects my issues and my subsequent resolution of many of them.  Just today my primary physician gave me a full physical exam (including extensive blood testing) and everything was good.  So good I am able to STOP taking all of the prescription medications she had previously prescribed.  (If you don’t understand all of the technical references in the article, not to worry.   You will find this read reassuring.)

Here's what Michael McCarty – patient of Dr. Heidi Archer of BodyLogicMD of Vail and Potomac Falls had to say:

"I went to my family doctor, then to a urologist and finally an endocrinologist. I questioned my levels of hormones. In all cases they said, diet and exercise was all I needed. All of them wanted to mask my real problem by prescribing me medications for my ‘symptoms”. They wanted me on medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, anxiety and erectile dysfunction. That’s five different medications! I refused to put those toxins in my body. The side effects are many which usually lead to more medication. So, being desperate and knowing what the real problem was, I went to see a doctor from BodyLogicMD, Dr. Heidi Archer. She is in Potomac Falls, VA. The doctors at BodyLogicMD are expertly trained in hormone replacement therapy. Not only that they understand nutrition and exercise. They believe in taking nutritional supplements. They are on the cutting edge of the aging human. Is it expensive? Not at all. I feel better now than at age 25!..."
