TLS Weight Management Solution encompasses low-glycemic impact eating, behavior modification and body composition, offering an extensive plan that covers everything you’ll need to get fit and trim, not just a set of foods you can and cannot eat.

Negative and sometimes fatal outcomes using synthetic hormones.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has gained increasing national attention as the new “sexy” treatment for age management in men and women as well as maintaining balance against hormonal imbalances caused by menopause in women. There are so much controversies and “camps” of though as to what is more effective- bio-identical hormones or synthetic hormones.
It is true that in 2002, a comprehensive synthetic hormone therapy study involving synthetic estrogen versus synthetic estrogen and progestin, was halted abruptly. Specifically, the 2002 study was halted because of increased negative and sometimes fatal outcomes using synthetic hormones.
Yet during the late 1960’s, a horse’s urine derived estrogen called Premarin was widely used and in vogue to help with menopausal symptoms. However, while it helped with menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, and in some cases insomnia, majority of women experienced weight gain, fluid retention, and emotional lability. Shortly thereafter in the 1970’s, Progestin was added to Prmarin to be called Prempro. This helped somewhat, but the incidences of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bone mass loss, and countless other devastating side effects mounted.
The 2002 study and preceding studies of WHI were fatally flawed because it focused only on the effects of the synthetic hormone drugs (Premarin and Prempro), and neglected to include Bio-Identical Hormones.
Bio-Identical Hormones are safe, effective, and bring balance
Bio-Identical Hormones are not new. It has been used successfully since the late 1930’s with much acceptance now in European and Asian continents. Long-term European studies have shown efficacy and safety of Bio-Identical Hormones (Wall Street Journal 2009, Schwartz, Holtorf, and Brownstein).
So much in fact, for whatever the reason, United States of America continues to cling onto a treatment modality so onerous in nature that one can’t help but imagine why this is so. That debate can be left for those politically inclined and will not be discussed here. But when you consider the lobbying efforts of Wyeth and now Pfizer (who consequently owns Wyeth now), you can connect the dots there.
Bio-Identical hormones are safe, effective, and bring balance to the overall hormone concentration in a human body. If done using physiological amounts with focus on addressing the hormonal imbalance, it allows patients to get their “life back” and enjoy the remainder of their years.
This is significant since the 40’s today is equivalent to the new middle ages. That means that we have over 50% of our lives to live. To become enslaved to the vagaries of aging process and lack of consistent availability of pharmaceutical treatments is just not right.
Bio-Identical hormones involve achieving balance between the body’s metabolism and hormones. These include Testosterone, Estrogen, and Progesterone as well as Thyroid, Adrenal Health, Metabolic aspects. Since Bio-Identical hormones are exact copy of what your body makes, and not derived synthetically in a lab or derived from foreign animal source, it makes sense that such overwhelmingly positive results have been gained by using Bio-Identical hormones and why it is so in-vogue right now.
An interesting read is 2009 article by US News with Suzanne Sommers. In this article, the author, Deborah Kotz also included a non-partial, but main-stream physician named Dr. Fugh-Berman. The response is pretty typical of those doctors who are indoctrinated in synthetic hormones, in that there their position is that “there’s no evidence that bio-identical hormones are safer and more efficacious”. Yet in the same article, he points out that there are vast long term European studies that shows complete corroboration that bio-identical hormones are effective and safe. Additionally Dr. Fugh-Berman continues to cite WHI study which only focused on the effects caused by synthetic hormone drugs while completely ignoring the available European long term studies of bio-identical hormones.

The family doctor is the coach, motivator, and teacher.
Family Medicine and Your Future
Proactive Health Care is necessary for achievement of health optimization. While not only involving direct participation between the patient and the family doctor, it also provides the capability of forming long lasting relationships for generations to come, resulting in you and your family receiving the best care possible.
The association between modern medicinal therapy and the progression in futuristic healing method’s are advanced bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), traditional family medicine, and the connection of both the doctor and patient informatively collaborating. From this concept evolves a conclusion of connectional understanging between the two.
The doctoral provider is the informative teacher alongside the patient who provides the role of the student. The end result being a connective relationship between the two, both motivating each other towards a progressed healthful outcome. The patient is the steward of his or her health, and if guided through informative encouragement, will succeed in his/her own aspiration to live an abundantly healthy, long life.
Family medicine is crucial since it is the gateway to health care. When a connection is established between good medicine and wellness, the end result is a more content and virant patient base. By combining the latest advances in bio-identicle hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), mainstream family medicine, and wellness, optimized health care is achieved.
Family medicine is important because it is the gateway to health care.
What is Wellness?
Wellness is the peripheral opportunities within family medicine to provide nutritional support, a feeling of reassurance of the path we are treading, anti-aging treatment modalities, and fine-tuning of a patient’s health status.
Wellness at Camelback Health Care focuses on prevention or reduction of the impact of medical problems, hormone balance for men and women, ancillary nutritional and supplementation needs, and peripheral enhancement such as medical managed weight loss and aesthetic skin care. Combined together, it represents the new paradigm of health care delivery and positive patient outcomes. The benefits of looking good and feeling astounding often leads to the psychological benefits of enhanced self-esteem, self-control, determination and improved lifestyle.

Focused on Caring for You
We know from experience, vast majority of frustration from patients is that there is no personal attention paid to each individual needs in family medicine. When a middle aged woman, say in her late 40’s tells her standard family doctor that she has the following symptoms:
The typical response would be to eat less and exercise more. Additionally, they may get a prescription to help with insomnia such as Lunesta or anti-anxiety medication. And yet, these patients gradually spiral down towards the inevitable path in life called Aging. Most are told to just accept it, mean while as health issues continue to mount as a result, such as hypertension, cholesterol problems, diabetes, and many more medical conditions commonly associated with aging. Having a medical expert who cares about your future health could prevent all of this.
Men are also faced with the same dilemma. When middle-aged men of the same age group as women above inquire about the similar symptoms, they are often given the same response with no clear and acceptable solutions. But the truth is that there is a solution and we do not have to live like this. With family medical health care, patients can live full, happy, and healthy lives.
