Here’s what is talked about in this video…

My own story of testosterone therapy started about nine months ago. I wasn’t feeling so good. I had depression and loss of motivation.

So, I finally decided to try the hormone replacement therapy.  I had my hormone levels checked and they showed up as being low. It’s taken me about nine months  of work with the therapy and figure out what works best for me. The best therapy I’ve experienced is the testosterone therapy.

The testosterone therapy gave me motivation to exercise, stamina, and energy. I didn’t realize I could have all those things back. I thought those things were lost just due to aging. Testosterone is the best therapy for a woman to gain back her vitality for life.

Here’s what is talked about in this video…

I had a male patient at the clinic the other day with abdominal (belly) weight gain, complete loss of vitality, no sex drive, loss of muscle mass, and no desire to exercise. He was depressed, with a complete loss of interest in life.

We tested his testosterone levels and found out he had extremely low testosterone levels – the levels of a 70 year old man. We started him on testosterone replacement therapy. He followed up with us this last week and he’s lost 25 lbs, completely regained his vitality for life, regained his sex drive. He’s at the gym for an hour every day and he feels remarkable. Low testosterone is an epidemic in our community among men.

Some Low Testosterone Symptoms are:

• Abdominal weight gain

• Low vitality

• Low sex drive

• Loss of muscle mass

• Depression

We have to test your testosterone levels with either a blood test or salivary test. You can do creams or injections for the replacement therapy.

One thing we have learned in this hCG program is that there is much more than just the food. There is huge mental and emotional component. We, SanTan Natural Medicine, find our patients struggle with this even more than eating the food.

I had a patient the other day tell me that she felt like she had just lost her best friend.  Many of us have relationships with food that we never realized because we never restricted the food we eat the way we’re required to do on the hCG diet.

So, when you are taking away your best friend, you have to do a lot of self-evaluation. You have to understand that there really are more things out there than food. You need to support yourself and surround yourself with the right kind of people and really be the best you that you can be. And that’s what we try to do is give you that coaching so that you can then come out on the other side and make better choices. People get jobs, lose jobs, people gain relationships, lose relationships and we see amazing life changes on this diet program. It really has very little to do with the food.

First, the use of hCG for weightloss is not approved by the FDA. The AMA (American Medical Association) uses the FDA guidelines to determine which treatments they will and will not allow. Any conventional doctor that uses a treatment that is not approved by the FDA may compromise his/her malpractice insurance coverage.  Quite simply, the bureaucracy in medicine keeps conventional doctors from exploring the amazing benefits of hCG for weightloss.

Second, most conventional doctors do not understand the hCG diet program. Without researching and studying the hCG diet program, conventional medical doctors are quick to comment that it is not safe.

And last, the implementation of a successful hCG Diet Program requires much time spent with patients on a weekly basis.  Most conventional doctor's offices do not allow for this amount of time per patient to help and support a patient through a successful program.

Most of these women are 50 or more pounds overweight, but many are only 10 to 20 pounds and can’t seem to lose those last few pounds.  Exercise and dieting seem to be ineffectual for this population of women.

It’s difficult to put a finger on the main cause of weight problems in women because they vary so greatly.  Medically speaking, women are much more complex than men in that they have many more physiological and hormonal issues with which to contend.  We find numerous women whose weight gain originates back to their pregnancies.  Other women will claim their weight increased following menopause, and more significantly, after their hysterectomy.  Some will just say their weight issues begin inexplicably after age 45, and some as young as 35.

According to Dr. Simeons, a majority of women (and men) have difficulty losing weight because their hypothalamus is imbalanced. The hypothalamus is the part of our brain that controls our metabolism, and therefore our ability to lose or gain weight.  In his research, Dr. Simeons used hCG along side a very low calorie diet to reset the hypothalamus.  This rebalancing of the hypothalamus encouraged the loss of stored fat, and more importantly, prevented the regaining of stored fat.  This mechanism that Dr. Simeons discovered made the hCG diet much more than just a diet…it gave, especially women, a tool with which to finally take control of their weight.  In essence, it cured their weight problem.

The hCG Diet usually entails major dietary changes for most people.  Some people have a very difficult time giving up certain foods they enjoy and find the 40 day program too much or too long of a sacrifice.  These people tend to do better on the 23 day program.  It’s much easier to do something difficult for 23 days than for 40 days.  However, for those people who are very committed, the 40 day program will encourage the maximum amount of weight loss.

Additionally, the 40 day program, which is almost 6 weeks, instigates more permanent changes in behavior. Although good lifestyle habits (i.e. balanced diet and regular activity) play a significant role in maintaining a healthy weight, it is our behavioral patterns or thought processes that ultimately determine our physical appearance and well-being.  For the typical human brain, it takes about 6 weeks to create new behavioral patterns. Just like the philosophical statement made by René Descartes, I think, therfore I am, a mental shift needs to occur for many people with long-standing weight issues…I think I am thin, therefore I am thin.

But SanTan Natural Medicine wants you to know that aspartame is considered one of the most controversial of nonnutritive sweeteners.

H.J. Roberts, MD, coined the term "aspartame disease" in a book filled with more than 1,000 pages about the negative health consequences of consuming aspartame.

FDA Complaints

By 1998, aspartame products were the cause of 80 percent of the complaints to the FDA about food additives, Dr. Roberts reported.

People complained of:

• headache

• dizziness

• change in mood

• vomiting or nausea

• abdominal pain and cramps

• change in vision

• diarrhea

• seizures/convulsions

• memory loss

• and fatigue

Aspartame and Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Along with the FDA complaints, the consumption of aspartame has been linked to fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in the legs, cramps, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, and various cancers.

Sugar adds calories, which can lead to weight gain. Artificial sweeteners, are foreign to the body and just like many prescription medications, are hard on the liver. When the liver is busy processing these chemicals, it is not able to process as efficiently and eliminate fat.

As a result, using zero calorie sweeteners may actually contribute to weight gain. Confused? Call the professionals at SanTan Natural Medicine for a healthy weight loss consultation.

Much of the fear that has been generated about testosterone is based on the side effects experienced by body builders and athletes…that is, the population of men who overuse and abuse testosterone.  It is important to understand that every hormone in the body is essential to maintaining health and balance, however, when in too high amounts, any hormone can have detrimental effects.

When discussing testosterone replacement with men, I am frequently asked…what about the risk of conditions like prostate cancer or liver disease? Again, be aware that these risks are observed in men who are taking large amounts of testosterone, well above the recommended therapeutic doses.

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid, meaning it encourages the growth of tissues like muscles, bones, blood and nerves. When testosterone is being overdosed, it can stimulate overgrowth of these tissues, which can lead to diseases of the heart, blood, liver, and various other tissues.  Additionally, the body may tend to eliminate excessive amounts by converting it to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and estrogen…two hormones that can cause prostate disease, among other conditions in men.

In the right therapeutic amount, however, testosterone stimulates regeneration of the tissues of the body keeping us young and vibrant, which makes testosterone a wonderful addition to an anti-aging protocol.  In fact, testosterone has been shown to prevent and even treat many cases of prostate disease.  It strengthens the heart muscle, tonifies the blood, and reduces the risk for heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

When men express concern about starting testosterone therapy, I try to point out that testosterone levels are highest in males in their late teens and early twenties.  If it were indeed a hormone that was dangerous to the prostate and heart, prostate and heart disease would be more prevalent in men in this age bracket.  In fact, just the opposite is true.  Prostate and heart disease is least prevalent in men in their late teens and early twenties.  Testosterone therapy is a safe, and frequently necessary therapy, in the prevention of many diseases, so long as it is monitored with regular blood tests.
