Live Well & Be Happy<br />
Florida Center for Hormones & Wellness offers life-changing treatments<br />
Obviously, aging is a natural<br />
process. Did you know that much<br />
of aging is the body’s response to<br />
hormonal decline? Shocking, isn’t it?<br />
The body was made to mature into<br />
a reproductive organism. Once that<br />
season of life is complete, it will naturally<br />
decline in hormones, and hormonal<br />
decline is strongly associated<br />
with and ultimately leads to a number<br />
of diseases of aging. This is in<br />
addition to the outward symptoms of<br />
menopause and andropause (low-T).<br />
Of course, staying active is part of<br />
slowing the aging process; however,<br />
bioidentical hormone replacement<br />
can also reverse the toll time takes on<br />
our bodies. Some older adults are<br />
perfectly fine with the deterioration<br />
of their youthful looks and tendencies.<br />
But for those who want to age<br />
more gracefully, Florida Center<br />
for Hormones & Wellness<br />
should be on your radar.<br />
Bioidentical hormone replacement<br />
therapy, a medically proven,<br />
safe and extremely effective<br />
treatment, can<br />
restore hormonal levels.<br />
Once restored, the aging<br />
process can be slowed,<br />
and the day-to-day, often<br />
debilitating symptoms<br />
of hormonal imbalance<br />
can be reversed. When<br />
hormones are restored to<br />
their youthful levels, aging<br />
is more graceful, healthy<br />
and enjoyable. Balanced<br />
hormones provide a full,<br />
active, vital, vigorous,<br />
healthy aging season.<br />
Whereas the original<br />
hormone therapy used synthetic<br />
hormones to replace<br />
those no longer regenerating<br />
in the body, bioidentical<br />
hormones are produced naturally.<br />
Made from natural sources like plants,<br />
bioidentical hormones work by mimicking<br />
the body’s natural hormone<br />
production.<br />
“These bioidentical hormones will<br />
not harm your body,” said Jody<br />
Layne, chief operating officer at<br />
Florida Center for Hormones &<br />
Wellness. “They can only help. They<br />

don’t stop your body from aging but<br />
enhance optimal performance.”<br />
PROMOTIONAL FEATURE<br />

BHRT also helps keep the body’s<br />
systems in balance and assists in<br />
preventing heart disease and high<br />
cholesterol.<br />
The physician who oversees all<br />
procedures at Florida Center for<br />
Hormones & Wellness is John<br />
Carrozzella, M.D., ABAARM,<br />
FAARFM. He devotes his<br />
practice to serving the needs<br />
of patients with hormonal<br />
deficiencies, sexual dysfunction,<br />
nutritional imbalances,<br />
autoimmune disorders and<br />
a variety of cosmetic needs.<br />
An orthopedic surgeon for<br />
more than 25 years, Dr.<br />
Carrozzella changed his<br />
medical focus seven years<br />
ago after a medical issue affected<br />
his family.<br />
Dr. Carrozzella’s wife had<br />
serious preventative neck surgery<br />
10 years ago. As she<br />
recovered, her entire personality<br />
and sense of well-being<br />
changed within three days of<br />
the operation. The diagnosis<br />
for the 50-year-old woman<br />
was nuclear onset menopause.<br />
Menopausal changes usually take<br />
place in women throughout a period<br />
of months, but in this case, the patient<br />
seemed to succumb to all the<br />
symptoms overnight. After visiting a<br />
series of doctors, the couple came<br />
upon one who prescribed hormone<br />
replacement therapy. It worked, and<br />
Dr. Carrozzella decided to devote<br />
the rest of his medical career to helping<br />
women naturally optimize their<br />
health as they age. Focusing his<br />
interests on nontraditional medical<br />
specialties, he obtained a master’s<br />
degree in nutritional and metabolic<br />
medicine from the University of South<br />
Florida. He also became a diplomate<br />
of the American Board of Anti-Aging<br />
and Regenerative Medicine.<br />
About 80 percent of women who<br />
are patients at Florida Center for<br />
Hormones and Wellness go there<br />
for bioidentical hormone replacement<br />
therapy. It can be administered<br />
through creams, pills or a pellet inserted<br />
under the skin.<br />
The mission of the practice is to<br />
“help patients feel refreshed, revitalized<br />
and rejuvenated.” Once feeling<br />
good is achieved, many women then<br />
try some of the other looking-good<br />
offerings at the center, which include<br />
nonsurgical breast lifts, face-lifts and<br />
treatments for hair loss.<br />
Men also come to the center for<br />
bioidentical hormone replacement<br />
therapy as well as other wellness<br />
and sexual health treatments. They<br />
receive shots that kick start regeneration<br />
of tissues, organs and blood<br />
platelet replenishment. This procedure<br />
is also available to women.<br />
The professionals at Florida Center<br />
for Hormones & Wellness want their<br />
clients to “live well and be happy.”<br />
