Stress Relief from Hormone Therapy Programs at HealthGAINS
Dr. Richard Gaines Improves Levels of Stress with Hormone Therapy for Men and Women
May 26, 2011
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — Patients of HealthGAINS often complain of exhaustion and stress. According to a study done by the American Academy of Neurology, men and women who are easily distressed are more likely to develop memory problems. Dr. Richard Gaines, the principal physician at HealthGAINS, often prescribes hormone therapy coupled with exercise and lifestyle changes for patients with high stress levels.
“When men and women are suffering from heightened stress levels, their adrenal glands may not function properly,” says Dr. Richard Gaines. “The adrenal glands control excretion of essential hormones in the body, so when levels are unbalanced, the entire immune system is affected.”
Hormone therapy works to restore the body to its normal levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. To determine if a patient has unbalanced hormone levels, Dr. Richard Gaines reviews a set of blood samples and tests the body for current hormone levels. If the levels are unbalanced, HealthGAINS recommends a personalized program, which includes bioidentical hormone therapy. Often, patients see results within the first several weeks of therapy, and many patients express overall feelings of less stress within the first month.
“Each body is different, and we always incorporate nutrition plans and exercise into the program. When my patients are under extreme stress, they also are more susceptible to the common cold and have increased risk for blood clotting and indigestion. Hormone therapy can provide relief and help prevent these symptoms,” says Dr. Richard Gaines.
Hormone Therapy Can Improve the Following Areas of Concern:
- Lack of energy
- Decreased muscle mass
- Weight gain
- Concentration
- Mood
- Memory loss
The study done by the American Academy of Neurology found that people who experience negative emotions such as depression and anxiety were 40 percent more likely to develop mild memory or cognitive problems. Dr. Richard Gaines recommends contacting a hormone therapy physician today to determine your levels of cortisol and how it could affect your long-term memory.
