Integrative, Functional Medicine Comes to Hawaii

BodyLogicMD of Honolulu Opens its Doors Thanks to Bioidential Hormone Expert Dr. Jeffrey Maehara

Honolulu, Hawaii ? December, 2010 - The Aloha State is a tropical paradise of sun and surf, and BodyLogicMD affiliated physician Dr. Jeffrey Maehara is making the state even more attractive to the health-conscious. Dr. Maehara is opening his brand new bioidentical hormones practice, BodyLogicMD of Honolulu, to provide individual, personalized wellness programs to islanders seeking relief from menopause, andropause and other hormone imbalances.

Dr. Maehara is supported by a nation-wide network of other BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of women and men as they age. Maehara and the rest of the BodyLogicMD hormone experts have extensive training in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

"Bioidentical hormones represent the most natural form of hormone replacement therapy," Maehara shares. "Because these hormones are identical to those actually produced within your body, they are less likely to produce adverse reactions and are very effective. There is no point in confusing the body with synthetic derivatives that may not perform predictably within your body."

Dr. Maehara began his training in integrative, functional medicine when he became frustrated with the knee-jerk, cookie-cutter approach of traditional medicine. He stresses the importance of caring for the body with preventative medicine, instead of merely treating illness when it arises, and spending as much time as needed to ensure the best possible personalized care for each individual patient.

"There is great need to emphasize that every patient is unique and different," says Maehara. "We take the time to measure individual patient hormone levels as well as find out what you eat, how often you exercise and what environmental factors may have influenced your health. With this information, we can identify your unique imbalances and deficiencies and formulate a customized treatment plan to restore your levels to a natural balance before major health problems arise."
