Youthful, Beautiful Skin Elasticity At Any Age

Some of them even ask if they should consider plastic surgery to regain a more youthful look. Perhaps you have these same concerns about your skin. Before you go… Read More

Help Prevent Disease With DIM, A Cancer-Fighting, Super-Nutrient
Many of patients are menopausal women and men older than 50. This is the age group where mid-life hormonal shifts and changes can become problematic and set the stage for the onset of future health problems, like breast cancer, uterine cancer and prostate cancer, if left unchecked. The problematic hormone that can get out of whack at this time is largely estrogen as “bad estrogens” can predominate which allow dangerous oxidation to occur that damages DNA.

pH Levels Keep Your Bones Healthy
I encourage my 50-and-older patients to get a bone density test every year. As this test tells me if they’re losing or maintaining their bone density and strength. The pelvis and femur bones of the hips and upper thighs are especially significant as we get older because they support our body walking and standing and, really, with any activity we do.
