Life is my greatest passion. I have experienced it with all my strength, especially during the past 15 years practicing medicine. Saving, healing, alleviating, comforting, consoling, scolding, hoping... are actions that a good doctor practices all at the same time, aware that the stranger that God puts in front of us is entrusting himself to our hands with total trust.
But what happens when the doctor is a patient? The physician, with the same passion and commitment, begins to be overcome by mental fatigue and physical exhaustion takes its toll. Like any other human being, he presents symptoms such as: difficulty sleeping at night, lack of energy during the day, mental focus problems, anxiety, weight gain, lack of muscle strength... in short, lack of energy.
Well, something like that happened to me. I noticed that, after so much effort working in the Emergency Rooms and with so many years of service ahead of me, I was losing sleep and the desire to work. I didn't want to exercise, I gained weight, even going out with my family was difficult. I was on my way to a heart attack, one of the many I have treated. You don't have to be a doctor to know that these symptoms are a bad sign and that not treating them properly, if they don't shorten your life, they worsen its quality.
One day I was offered the opportunity to test my hormone levels, something I had never done before, and I accepted. I knew that hormone balance is super important to prevent chronic diseases as we age. I exposed myself to a very thorough study to learn more about what my body wanted to say. The results led me to study what Bio-Identical Hormone replacement is. They are tiny hormone pellets that release estrogen and testosterone, consistently absorbed into the body as needed. They are called bio-identical, because they are all-natural.
I began treatment and the good results in me led me to train with Dr. Neil Rouzier, an authority on the subject of Bio-Identical Hormone replacement. In the process, I understood the myths and benefits of this therapy modality that has been practiced for over 20 years. As a patient, I obtained great results. As a physician, I became certified to offer patients the opportunity I had.
Currently, at our Biologiqué offices in Guaynabo, we offer individualized treatment to each patient, monitoring her hormone levels and combining the treatment with good nutrition and exercise. Women benefit by regulating their estrogen and progesterone levels, eliminating the symptoms associated with variations in the proper levels of these hormones. In men, the treatment helps maintain proper testosterone levels, which can affect weight, daily activities and libido.
I am convinced that everyone can achieve an optimal life regardless of age. Bio-identical hormone replacement can make the difference between living and living with quality. At Biologiqué we can guide you. Make an appointment by calling 787-378-7640.
