I Return from the A4M Meeting with Lots of Important Clinical News

I have just returned from a great meeting of the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Restorative Medicine. It was full of important information which will enhance my programs for weight control, bioidentical hormones for men and women, anti-aging and functional medicine. I also plan to offer additional services for my Nu-Living Concierge Medical Practice.

On Wednesday, I took an advanced seminar on Bio-identical hormones for men and women. There were several new hormone monitoring procedures introduced which will not only enhance efficacy of hormone treatments but also safety. Techniques in the lab will allow fine tuning estrogen and progesterone dosing to avoid side effects, achieve the lowest effective dose and reduce negative side effects impacting the breasts. For men several important approaches to maintain prostate health and reduce BPH and prostate cancer risk were discussed. I attended many important, cutting edge sessions involving new treatments for chronic pain, obesity, depression and metabolic syndrome. The use of telomere testing to detect accelerated aging and interventions to reverse it was a hot topic. The measurement of Galactin-3 to warn against increase risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and other chronic inflammatory diseases was very exciting. I plan to elaborate on many of these topics in the near future.
