Hormones here we come with Functional Medicine Practitioner Dr. Lorraine Maita
Dr. Maita is a recognized and award-winning holistic, functional integrative and anti-aging physician and author. She transforms people's lives by getting to the root cause of illness using the best of science and nature. Dr. Maita served as Chief Medical Office and Medical Director for 3 Fortune 100 companies and was an Advisory Team Member for WOR radio Change Your Attitude Change Your Life on the #1 new/talk radio station in the New York Metropolitan area, She is the founder of the Vibrance for Life Wellness Institute and has a private practice in NJ.
Dr. Maita got into Functional Medicine out of Necessity. After 9 month of being on antibiotics, she didn’t feel like herself anymore and found herself needing help. She took herself on a journey and began healing herself with an elimination and detoxification diet.
Over the years, she has dealt with so many different concerns for her clients, but has also help through the pandemics of AIDS, SARS, Avian Flu as well as Bioterrorism and Now COVID-19.
She has worked for top companies working at the forefront of medicine putting together wellness programs at Pfizer, Prudential and Johnson & Johnson. Her ultimate goal was to help people through prevention.
In the beginning top executive women would come to her, begging for help as they were experiencing symptoms of perimenopause. And at Pfizer, men sought her out wanting Viagra. She became known as the “Hormone Guru”. Dr. Maita truly began giving people their life back.
Dr. Maita shares that there are 3 kinds of Estrogen and the Estrogen in Menopause can be very inflammatory. When assessing patients I take a 3D look: She tests the blood, the Urine and the Saliva. Ultimately estrogen is the hormone for Energy and Growth. But when it is not balanced out by Progesterone, women can develop symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, impatience, insomnia, weight gain, bleeding, spotting, fibroids as well as painful cysts. It is really as easy fix.
First, she states, we need to decrease the Estrogen in the body by first decreasing the chemicals they are exposed to that act like Estrogen. Next look at possibly adding Progesterone if needed and life can be beautiful again. And of course regular follow ups are necessary.
For most people starting off just looking at lifestyle changes and a detoxification diet, to calm the immune system in key. We all have about 200 chemicals in our bodies everyday. So to begin: Start with clean filtered water, organic foods, and eliminate the chemicals in your personal care and household. Toxins disrupt the immune system, hormone system and nervous system. Therefore it is critical to eat pure and eliminate inflammatory foods. Inflammation is the root case of illness.
For Men: The number one questions asked to her is, “How do I get my Testosterone levels up?” Dr. Maita, states a simple solution is to eliminate stress in your life, as stress increases cortisone which decreases testosterone. Build in some weight and resistance training into the workout regime and add zinc. When testing for Testosterone, they need to be specific. Depending on how it is metabolized, it can turn into Estrogen in the body for some individuals.
