Amaya Antiaging Clinic Lauds Oprah and Suzanne Somers for Unveiling...



Bio-identical is defined as hormones that are identical in chemical structure as the body'ss own endogenous hormones. In contrast, their pharmaceutical non bio-identical counterparts do not have the same chemical structure as what the body would make. They are either progestin or equine estrogen. Women are increasingly disenchanted with the formulations offered by practitioners who cling to the use of non bio-identical formulations such as progestin ( progesterone like) instead of progesterone and equine estrogen (derived from pregnant mare urine) instead of easily available plant based estrogen which is exactly similar to endogenous estrogen . These products are 100-700 times stronger than bio-identical hormones and are responsible for unwanted side effects and risks (ref: WHI Study) and do not perform the same roles as bio-identical hormones in the human body since the molecular structure is not same as your own endogenous hormones they do not fit in the steroid hormone cascade and can only affect one level. On the other hand isomolecular hormones fit the hormone cascade in the body exactly the same way the endogenous hormones will and one can be converted into other useful hormones and with low dose can provide better effects.



The science demonstrating the efficacy and safety of bio-identical hormones as a potent tool for healing is there (see reference) but the message cannot always reach public awareness as it gets lost in the miasma of politics and bureaucracy. Fortunately, media giants such as Suzanne Somers and Oprah are conveying the message that one no loner has to accept cocktails of antidepressants and sleeping pills while underlying problems are ignored.First Suzanne Somers gives a face to anti-aging medicine with her books: Ageless, The Sexy Years and Breakthrough's. Throughout all three books, she describes how bio-identical hormones have transformed her life.



On January 15th, 2009, Oprah launched a series dedicated to bringing the travail and distress of menopause to the forefront. She begins by describing her own journey back to health through the use of bio-identical hormones.To highlight the seriousness of hormonal declines in menopause, Oprah showed an interview with a woman who describes the collective loss of mental, physical, and emotional functioning as a result of menopause.But as Oprah'ss show points out, hormonal imbalances can occur at any age. Whether it is an inability to lose weight or chronic fatigue and anxiety, hormonal imbalances are often at the core of these problems.



When a woman presents with a host of problems, hormone levels should be one of the first parameters evaluated. As orchestrators of numerous functions in the body, when hormone levels are out of balance, all systems of the body are profoundly impacted. Shows like Oprah are shedding light on these facts. As gene activators, mood modulators, metabolism regulators, and bone builders, hormones control the vital processes that make the difference between wellness and poor health. Often, women may have a hunch that they are hypothyroid or have low progesterone but are often assured that their levels are normal for their age. There in lies the problem.Even when menopausal women or non-menopausal women present with a host of problems and hormone levels are checked the results are often accepted as being within normal range. True regenerative, anti-aging medicine looks at optimal levels for the individual, levels that are required not only to curtail functional losses of waning hormones but experience a renewed sense of well being.


Quality of life has nothing to do with age, menopause or andropause. Hormone imbalance can occur at any age so we have to be armed with information and ready with options. In this case choice is yours which one you will prefer Bio-identical ( Iso- molecular ) or non-Bioidentical ( non-isomolecular) . It is also very important to emphasize that all synthetic hormones begin with natural hormones as the raw material and then redesigned into current preparations. This forces us to think why a plant product Disogenin which is converted into Progesterone, Estrogen and Testosterone with a series of chemical reactions in the lab is rather commercially converted into synthetic non isomolecular version of your own hormones at a large scale. Finally it is important to know that all that is natural is not isomolecular or Bioidentical and vice versa.



At AMAYA: The Center for Healthy Living, Houston and AMAYA Antiaging and Weight Loss Katy, Texas, it is understood that healing must occur at the cellular level where deficiencies and imbalances are assessed and reversed. As an anti-aging, weight loss clinic, Amaya specializes in looking at the complete picture and addressing the underlying cause. The complete panel of hormones is checked so that an accurate understanding of cellular functioning may be obtained. According to Dr. Powell of Amaya, the patient-doctor relationship is very important when true solutions are the goal. When the patient is involved in their own healing, true change can begin. Patients are involved dynamically from the first step as their symptoms are carefully assessed rather than dismissed. Dr. Powell lauds Oprah for finally bringing these complex issues to light.
