Did you know millions of people experience the symptoms of hormone imbalance every day? You may be one of them. Imbalances in our hormones can lead to a myriad of symptoms including reduced libido, low mood, fatigue, and weight gain – but these changes don’t have to be permanent. As your Cedar Rapids IA 52402 Biote Provider, we specialize in optimizing hormones to help address these and other early indicators of aging through precise, personalized care plans.
We have been certified to offer Biote's method of hormone therapy in our Cedar Rapids IA 52402 office. Biote has been developing its method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for over a decade, which may help men and women experiencing the symptoms of a hormone imbalance. Contact us to schedule an evaluation and learn how restoring hormones to their optimal level may address specific health concerns.
Philosophy:
I became a medical provider with the hope to empower patients to become involved in their own health. However, at some point, visits became less focused on wellness & prevention and became quick screenings for cancer or managing diseases.
I went from being a “healthCARE provider” to a “disease management” provider.
This is when I started to seek out more knowledge so that I could help bridge gaps in medicine.
One of these areas that I have expanded was in hormone management.
I started my career offering hormone replacement, essentially allowing the body to be so depleted until it becomes symptomatic.
Now, I discuss with my patients our goal to optimize their hormone levels and allow them to experience benefits of how their body is ideally meant to function.
My goal of being a provider has always been about education and empowerment.
I want my patients to be able to be confident in who they are and feel their best.
Aging isn’t just about appearance, but it is also about quality of life.
Not everything can be corrected with diet, exercise and will-power.
I have tried.
I pushed my body hard and even won a
National Title and competed on the world stage as a Strongman Athlete.
Even I had no clue how low my own hormones were prior to testing!
