BodyLogicMD In The News

September, 2009 - Women may not be the only ones who suffer the effects of changing hormones. Some doctors are noticing that their male patients are experiencing similar symptoms that women experience in menopause. Unlike menopause in women, where hormone production stops completely, male hormone decline is a much slower process which could make it a much harder thing to diagnose.

September, 2009 - Menopause comes as no surprise to women in their 40s and 50s, when the sudden onset of hot flashes, night sweats and other obvious symptoms make their lives unpleasant and signal the beginning of “The Change.” Menopause is brought on by age-related hormonal changes that indicate the end of a woman’s reproductive capability. Largely for this reason, it doesn’t occur to most people that similar age-related hormonal changes also occur in men.

September 2009 - Dr. Jennifer Landa of BodyLogicMD of Orlando, Florida is featured live on The Daily Buzz morning talk show. As an expert in bioidentical hormone therapy replacement therapy, Landa discusses Andropause, “The Male Menopause” and how age related symptoms that have more commonly been linked to ‘Midlife Crisis,’ are often the result of hormone imbalance similar to what women experience during menopause.

August 2009 - Bioidentical hormones, as opposed to those prescribed as part of traditional hormone replacement therapy, are said to be an exact chemical match to those made naturally by humans.

July 2009 - You could call her a casualty of the health care industry, one local doctor weighs in on what's wrong with health care, and what she thinks of government getting involved. Dr. Jennifer Landa of BodyLogicMD of Orlando, an expert in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), says the health care industry is one of the reasons she's no longer a practicing OBGYN.

July 2009 - Dr. Alicia Stanton, the Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, talks to Gina Cloud of “Redefining W.O.M.A.N.” about bioidentical hormones. She goes into detail about the differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormones. While bioidentical hormones are the same chemical structure and shape as the hormones the body makes, meaning they fit into all the receptors and do what they are supposed to do, synthetic hormones have a slight change in structure so they can be patented, which means they do not function the same as natural hormones.

July 2009 - Dr. Robert Rubin of BodyLogicMD of Tampa and Naples discusses andropause, the male form of menopause. Unlike menopause, andropause has a more subtle onset and can start as early as when a man is in his 30s to as late as his 60s. It has overlapping symptoms to menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and low libido. However, most of the symptoms are not as extreme as they are with women going through menopause. Dr. Rubin suggests that you should get your testosterone first tested when you are 30 so you can keep track of it as you age. Low levels of testosterone can lead to a high risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and increased body fat.
