Clear up the misperceptions surrounding Hormone replacement and women. Testosterone is necessary for women too and it does not make women grow a beard. Testosterone is a life force for women too! 

Peri-Menopause happens around 40-45. A drop in progesterone and testosterone happen. Estrogen becomes dominant which can cause issues-  anger, anxiety, night sweats. 

Progesterone is the "feel good" hormone that will help sleep and happiness. When this drops, this is when women can tell they don't feel well. Progesterone dosages can cause a side effect of drowsiness in the morning because it is a slow release taken at night. Creams can help this side-effect if taking a capsule earlier doesn't help this feeling. 

Low testosterone can lead to brain fog, low energy, low libido, no energy for exercise, and several other unwanted side effects. When testosterone levels are optimal, testosterone can help maintain muscle and therefore burn fat. Hair changes and acne is a side-effect of supplementing with testosterone. This can be avoided when it stays level and within the optimal range. Injections can be hard for some because of the consistency. Pellets are a great option to keep all levels consistent. 

Pellets are one of Dr. Durst and Farideh's favorite treatment options for hormone replacement with fewer side effects and fewer spikes. Every patient is different and treatment plans need to optimized for that particular patients.

Metabolic Syndrome and Erectile Dysfunction can be directly related! You can reverse it! 

As we age, we noticed bodily changes but also lipid panels.

Metabolic Syndrome: must have 3 of 5 of criteria to have MS: 

Five signs of metabolic syndrome:

-A large waist: Waist size: Men greater than 40 inches, women greater than 35 inches

-A high triglyceride level

-Reduced HDL or “good” cholesterol. Men’s HDL less than 40, women HDL less than 50

-Increased blood pressure: Levels 130/85 mm Hg or higher

-Elevated fasting blood sugar

This is so important because if this is not affecting it yet, it will eventually effect the erectile function, strength and quality. About 1/3 Americans have Metabolic Syndrome over the age of 50.

The abdominal fat puts weight on the arteries and causes loss of blood flow which leads to erectile dysfunction which can lead to heart diseases and strokes.

If you notice weight changes or weight around the belt area, reduce stress, get active, eat healthier, decreases alcohol consumption, and do something to reverse Metabolic Syndrome.

Hormone optimization is life changing for men.  Testosterone is a life force for men. The right hormone specialist will optimize your levels and how you feel but also make sure to minimize any negative effects of hormone replacement therapy.  There are lots of questions that men have and Dr. Durst and NP Farideh discuss all of these concerns and questions. 

Call or text RevitalyzeMD at 865-293-5828 to set up a consultation! 

Testosterone converts to estrogen and too much estrogen in men can cause extreme emotions, bloat and water retention, nipple tenderness, and negative sexual side-effects. Low estrogen can also cause issues with sexual function.

Testosterone not only can convert to estrogen but can also convert to DHT which is stronger. Like estrogen, we want some of it but too much of it can cause acne, hair loss or gain, urinary tract changes, and other negative side effects. There are a lot of options for treatment options to keep this from happening. 

Lastly, an increase in red blood cells can come from a spike in testosterone. It is monitored closely in our office. 

Pellets are one of Dr. Durst and Farideh's favorite treatment options for hormone replacement with less side effects and less spikes. Every patient is different and getting each patient to their optimal level is our goal.

Tune in to learn about the 4 stages of the Sexual Response Cycle and why women are ready to go another round after men are ready to take a nap!

The sexual Response Cycle is 4 stages: Excitement (arousal), Plateau, Orgasm, and Resolution.

Excitement (arousal): Increased blood flow, heart rate increase, desire, libido, nipple stimulation, increase in oxytocin, erection with men, and clitoral erection with women. Mental stimulation is important for most women.

Plateau: Breathing becomes more rapid and the muscles continue to tense. The glans at the head of the penis swells and the testes enlarge in the male and in the female, the outer vagina contracts and the clitoris retracts.

Orgasm: the climax of the sexual response cycle. It's the shortest of the phases and generally lasts only a few seconds.

Resolution: The body slowly returns to its normal level of functioning and swelled and erect body parts return to their previous size and color. Fatigue often happens in this phase. Some women are capable of a rapid return to the orgasm phase with further sexual stimulation and may experience multiple orgasms. Men typically need recovery time after orgasm.

Dr. Durst and Farideh talk about Masters and Johnson's study in the '50s and all their opinions revolving around this topic!
