BodyLogicMD Promotes Awareness of Andropause During National Men’s Health Week

Boca Raton, FL – June 9, 2009 - Hormone changes are a natural part of aging – and not just for women. With the start of National Men’s Health Week(June 15-21), BodyLogicMD is promoting awareness and prevention of men’s health problems including symptoms caused by low testosterone and andropause (the male menopause).

According to experts, nearly 25 million American males between ages 40 and 55 are experiencing the symptoms of andropause such as fatigue, loss of libido, loss of muscle mass and depression – all symptoms of andropause.

“Hormone imbalance does not discriminate – men as young as 40 can suffer many of the same symptoms as women experiencing menopause,” says Dr. Jeff Thackrey of BodyLogicMD Fort Lauderdale. “Age related symptoms along with behavior changes that have more commonly been linked to ‘Midlife Crisis,’ are often the result of hormone imbalance known as andropause, the male menopause. Fortunately, we can test hormone levels to help determine if testosterone replacement through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the answer.”

BodyLogicMD’s highly trained physicians rely upon specialized blood and saliva tests to determine hormone levels and with that information, customize individualized programs of BHRT, and fitness and nutrition regiments along with nutritional supplementation to help both men and women regain hormone balance.

“Every man my age should investigate hormone therapy of one kind or another. I’m glad I did, shared Geoffrey C., a patient of BodyLogicMD Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I blamed my fatigue, hair loss and lower sex drive on my busy schedule, the stress of my job and just getting older. I wrote it off as part of aging and although it was sometimes annoying, I learned to live with it. The saliva and blood test results clearly showed I was suffering a hormonal imbalance including very low testosterone. Dr. Thackrey customized a plan specifically for me that included bioidentical hormone replacement, nutritional supplements and some other lifestyle changes including regular exercise. All in all, testosterone therapy has made a big improvement in my life.”

“More than ever before, we are seeing men in our practice who know there is something wrong – and they actually recognize some of the same symptoms in themselves that they hear their wives, girlfriends, sisters and mothers complain about,” says Dr. Thackrey. “When they hear that BHRT is working for women, men want to know how they can get on the train.”
