When Will Anti-Aging Become Mainstream Medicine?

 

Hello,

This is Dr. Fisher with The BEST Program, owner and medical director for the premier anti-aging clinic located in South Florida.  I wanted to begin my blogging career by discussing a relatively large reason why hormone replacement therapy has been looked down upon in the past, but more importantly, why it is so important for our future.  

A large percentage of the general public buys in to the misconception that hormone replacement therapy is bad for your health.  This misconception is largely due to a study that was conducted on menopausal women back in 2002.  The researchers published that the study was terminated due to an increase of invasive breast cancer and coronary artery disease thought to be caused by the hormone replacement therapy that was administered.  What they neglected to report was that the women in the study were given synthetic hormones rather than bioidentical hormones.

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that the human body recognizes as being their own.  With bioidentical hormones, our bodies are given natural hormones with greater bio-availability, meaning that our hormone receptors will benefit from the high-normal hormone levels, without the risk of irreversible side effects.  The result?  Better health (improved lipid profile, decreased cardiovascular risks, improved immune system), better energy, improved libido and performance, faster fat burn, and improved metabolic function.

I feel that it is the responsibility of anti-aging physicians to set the record straight by providing the public with ample case studies to exemplify how BHRT can improve an aging man or woman’s health and quality of life.  It’s a shame that this preventative maintenance approach to healthcare hasn’t caught on yet in mainstream medicine.  I’ve been practicing BHRT for over nine years, and the results I’ve seen in my patients have been astounding.  And I must report that now, nine years later, they are healthier, happier, and feel closer to youth than when they began the program.  Since this is my first post and many might not know me from Adam, I’d also like it to be known that I practice what I preach.  I have been on a BHRT program for over nine years myself.  My only regret is that I didn’t start at a younger age than 48.  I feel like I missed out on a good portion of my life due to lack of energy and my personal struggle with controlling my weight.     

I’m sure that our readers are aware of the fact that “mainstream” thought governs what is considered “right” and “wrong.”  I would like to do my part by (trying) to get some of my patients to share their experience with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at The BEST Program.  The more positive experiences that the masses can refer to, the more accepted and available BHRT will become for men and women in need.  I know my patients are all busy people, but if you don’t mind, could you please write a couple lines about your personal experience on BHRT at The BEST Program in the comments box below this post?  Even if you’re not a BEST program patient, but you’re currently on BHRT, please feel free to share your experience with the rest of the class!  Thanks.  You’re The BEST!
