Bioidentical Hormones offer women an alternative to synthetic hormones.

“Most hormone replacement includes synthetic estrogen and/or progestin replacement, but bioidentical are different,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, said.

“I can check blood levels for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones that effect weight and energy. When synthetic hormones failed, bioidentical may offer a good alternative.”

Bio-identical Hormones in Houston-The Woodands, Texas

Bio-identical Hormones (BHRT) offer women an alternative to synthetic hormones for menopausal and peri-menopausal symptoms that include hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, decreased libido, and weight gain.

“Most hormone medications address estrogen and/or progestin replacement, but BHRT is different,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “With BHRT, I can look at blood levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones that effect energy and weight.  What is deficient is corrected to a more optimal level leading to significant clinical improvement.”

While BHRT may not be safer than synthetic, intuitively they may be, since the body recognizes the molecule as biologically identical to natural hormone production.

“BHRT may not be for every woman, but when conventional methods have failed, it may be a great alternative.”

What is age management medicine?  Sounds a bit mystical and unscientific.  But is it?

“Nothing can stop aging, but we can slow it down and improve quality of life as we age,” said Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodands.It’s nothing like snake-oil, just good nutrition, healthy life style, and exercise … but testing for hormone deficiences as well as assessing nutritional and fitness status allows the clinician to make proper supplementation recommendations as well as prescribing natural hormones for optimal functioning.”

Dr. Randy Birken has completed his clinical training with Cenegenics Medical Institute and will be offering this prestigious executive health evaluation and age management program to Houston-The Woodlands, Texas as well as Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

“This is an exciting new dimension to our practice.  While I have always incorporated the concept of diet, exercise, supplements, and hormone optimization for healthy aging, the Cenegenics program is comprehensive, advance, and effective.”

Dr. Birken will be certified with the Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation, a non-profit organization promoting medical training in age management.
