BodyLogicMD Kicks off National Women’s Health Week with Healthy Hormone Tips

Boca Raton, FL - May, 2008 - What do bioidentical hormones and Mother’s Day have in common? The official kick-off for the ninth annual National Women's Health Week (May 11-17). Starting Mother’s Day, this special week, coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health, encourages and “empowers women across the country to get healthy by taking action” . This includes checking hormonal balance and symptoms associated with menopause, adrenal fatigue and peri-menopause.

BodyLogicMD, a national network of highly trained, anti-aging physicians offering bioidentical hormone therapy integrated with fitness and nutrition programs, is working in partnership with the Human Services' Office on Women's Health to educate women about steps they can take for a healthier lifestyle, including:

• Visiting a BodyLogicMD physician for hormone evaluations for women experiencing hormonal imbalance symptoms
• Incorporating a physical fitness plan
• Making healthy food choices
• Lifestyle changes like quit smoking, drinking, eliminate unnecessary medications, improving environmental factors like dangerous toxins

“National Women’s Health Week gives us a good excuse to remind our wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and girlfriends about the things they can do to stay healthier longer – and let’s face it, we all benefit from that,” says BodyLogicMD Chief Medical Officer, Alicia Stanton, MD. “What better time than Mother’s Day to tell the women in our lives how much their continued good health means to us.”

For busy mothers and other women facing perimenopause and menopause, health and fitness plans that include bioidentical hormone therapy not only can help them feel better, but also provide anti-aging benefits, such as:

• Reduction of hot flashes and night sweats
• Greater success at losing weight and getting in shape
• Decreased anxiety and depression
• Stronger libido
• Better mental focus
• Firmer and younger looking skin
• Increased bone density
• More energy

“Moms tend to put others first, so it’s up to their families to remind them to take a few simple steps toward making healthy choices a priority,” adds Dr. Stanton. “A combination of bioidentical hormone therapy, preventive measures and a healthy lifestyle can help make a mom’s day-to-day challenges easier to meet.”
