Strengthen Bones with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The risk of osteoporosis increases as women age. Studies show that women are losing bone at a rate of approximately 0.5% each year. It is a well-known fact that close to 80% of patients will be dead within two years of their first hip fracture. Osteoporosis, like most degenerative diseases, is insidious--there are only a few symptoms that can suggest that you might have such a problem until it is too late. You may also be surprised to find out that some of the very popular types of “healthy” diets and exercises, common health conditions and frequently used medications may actually significantly aggravate bone loss. The mainstream medicine does recommend routine bone density scans for women. However, no matter the results of bone densitometry, it is important to take proper action for prevention. We have been taught that calcium aids healthy bones which is true. What people are often not taught is that calcium absorption into the bone does not happen just because we feed our body calcium. It takes the right mix of other vitamins and hormones that naturally occur in our bodies and are also gained from external sources to really make the calcium count. How Can Forever Ageless Help Forever Ageless takes this very seriously which is why we incorporate a bone densitometry during our routine evaluation to determine your risk for bone degenerative diseases and your overall bone health. In most cases, hormone replacement therapy in combination with appropriate exercise and supplements can potentially help even very severe bone loss. Since it sometimes takes years to see changes in the bone density, Dr. Kopyev utilizes simple urine or blood tests to assure the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment andamp; monitor the progress, allowing us to achieve targets on bone turnover within a few months. |
