Interest in and awareness of
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy has skyrocketed among the public in
recent weeks following the airing of two back-to-back Oprah shows on the
subject.
As renowned hormone restoration
expert and lecturer Dr. Sangeeta Pati recently commented, “Oprah has provided
the perfect platform for a real discussion on a hotly debated and critically
important topic for aging America, ‘Bio-identical Hormones’.”
Bio-identical hormones are available in a wide variety of
FDA-approved delivery systems, but special training on individualized treatment
of patients suffering symptoms of hormonal imbalance is needed.
Such
training is available through the A4M and its Board Certification and a variety
of the Academy’s workshops focusing on
hormone restoration.
With
the demand for BHRT now far exceeding the supply of trained doctors, A4M is issuing a call to action to the
nation’s doctors to commence board certification studies at the 17th
World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine this spring in Orlando,
Florida.
Patrick
Savage, president of BodyLogicMD, an organization that helps patients seeking
BHRT find qualified doctors has said, “We are faced with a great problem. Before
Oprah, our doctors were scheduling appointments 4-5 weeks out, post Oprah, many
of the physicians we work with only have open appointments 9-12 weeks out. We
are filling our doctors’ schedules with patients at a faster pace than they can
keep up with”.
As the
general public ages and becomes more aware of the differences between E1 type
estrogen that has been associated in health risks for women in clinical
studies, and Bio-identical E2 and E3 estrogen which has been shown to actually
have protective effects, the demand for such treatment will only grow.
For
Doctors interested in boosting their practice, the opportunities in this
growing field of medicine are significant.
Those
interested in learning more about the A4M, bio-identical hormone replacement
and the upcoming 17th World
Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine are encouraged to contact A4M
