WELCOME TO PREVENTIVE MEDICINE OF THE PACIFIC
The good news, for both men and women, is that hormonal optimization can be achieved upon evaluation and treatment by Dr. Bruce, a highly trained physician in advanced bioidentical hormone therapies, weight loss, and nutrigenomics.
Your evaluation will include an initial in-depth discussion of your physical and symptoms, diet, and your medical conditions. You will undergo comprehensive lab testing, after which you and Dr. Bruce will meet to go over your lab results and create a personalized treatment plan for reaching your goals, and enhancing your overall well- being and physical health.
Restore your hormones to more youthful levels to dramatically improve your health, quality of life and vitality. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a safe effective part of a comprehensive, holistic approach to health and wellness. Through a personalized plan, Dr. Bruce and you can address the symptoms associated with menopause, andropause (Low T) and other hormone imbalances and can help prevent diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s dementia, strokes and more. During a consultation with Dr. Bruce, you will discuss your goals, preferences, and desires. Together we will develop a treatment plan that best meets your needs.
BHRT is a safe, proven clinical therapy the rebalances hormone levels that are often responsible for symptoms associated with aging. Bioidentical hormones are designed to precisely match the molecular structures of the natural hormones in your body. Most pharmaceuticals manufactured hormones do not have the same structure as human hormones, which can often lead to suboptimal results and unwanted side effects.
Hormone imbalances may manifest in both men and women as early as in their mid-thirties. An effective BHRT treatment to optimize hormone levels can mitigate many of the following symptoms:
For women to feel and look their best, their hormones must be in balance. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy improves energy, vitality and libido while helping to alleviate per-menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Optimal hormone balance leads to improved mood and sleep quality, greater ability to cope with stress, and clearer thinking.
Testosterone helps men to live well and remain energetic and strong. Bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy restores vitality, improves endurance, stamina and sex drive while also improving lean muscle mass, mood, sleep quality, and cognition. Optimal testosterone levels may also improve stress coping abilities, facilitate clearer thinking, and mitigate a range of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease.
Dr. Bruce knows losing weight isn’t easy. If this is one of your objectives, your program will begin with a conversation with a compassionate, non-judgmental expert who will perform a medical evaluation, review your history, and establish your health and wellness goals. From there, you and Dr. Bruce will create a personalized weight loss program, including diet/nutrition, intermittent fasting and exercise. Dr. Bruce will provide you with the support and tools to guide you along your weight loss journey. Your plan may include lab tests, referrals to nutritionists or personal trainers, prescription medication, and GxSciences’ Diet & Wellness Nutrigenomics Panel (coming soon).
Nutrigenomics is at the intersection of nutrition and genetic expression, specifically how nutrients influence the genome and it’s relationship to health and wellness. The emergence of this field parallels the emergence of the broader field of precision healthcare, which tailors healthcare approaches to individuals based on their unique genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomics, on the other hand, evaluates the metabolism of drugs and potential side effect of certain medications on a specific individual. Sometimes If symptoms do not improve with hormone replacement therapy, additional testing may be performed to see if there may be a nutrigenomic or pharmacogenetic component for your symptoms.
