is an advanced fellow of the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Aesthetic<br />
Medicine, and a member of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and<br />
the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. He and his<br />
team go the extra mile so that their patients can function higher — physically,<br />
mentally and sexually. At Florida Center for Hormones & Wellness, patients are<br />
not rushed, and their feelings and concerns become the staff’s concerns. They<br />
take the time needed to help each patient achieve, or perhaps exceed, his or her<br />
realistic goals through a customized care plan. The practice uses a compounding<br />
pharmacy, giving the staff the ability to provide ingredients commonly found<br />
in mass-produced medications. This allows for accurate dosing, reduced side<br />
effects and ease of administration. Some patients ask if they are safe taking hormones.<br />
The center’s staff asks “How safe are you without your hormones?” The<br />
cells in a person’s brain, heart, vessels, bones, skin, hair follicles and muscles all<br />
have receptors for hormones. As hormone levels dwindle, these cells and tissues<br />
lose stimulation, leading to a rapid decline and advancement of degenerative<br />
diseases. If a person would correct a vitamin or mineral deficiency with bioidentical<br />
vitamins or mineral replacements, he/she should consider replacing a<br />
declining hormone.<br />
