Oprah did two shows on bio-identical hormones and had articles in her magazine on this subject. Oprah reached 50 years old, and she had more weight problems. She blamed herself on TV for things which were out of her control over...gaining weight. She told people that it was her thyroid problem. With the change of life, come problems which are difficult to manage/battle without balanced hormones. There are approximately 150 menopausal symptoms. Oprah's show has been overwhelmed with questions on bio-identical hormones. Women across the country are talking about their menopausal or peri-menopausal symptoms. They search the internet, read books on menopause and are forced to live with their "change of life"...the road of deterioration. They settle for less and lower their expectations of life.

By the time you reach menopause, your adrenal hormones, thyroid hormones, hypothalmus-pituitary-adrenal hormones are also deficient. Your doctor should be able to examine you and balance all of your hormones...not just give you sex hormones. Giving you sex hormones is only the start of your treatment. You need a recover and wellness program.

The typical man at 50 years of age has more estrogen than the typical female that is 50 years old. Both men and women start their decline in quality of life, declining health, and defects in their DNA...do you know why? Stress, obesity/overweight, poor eating habits, declining hormones, lack of exercise, poluted environment, defective DNA, failure to detox, and fear of changes are the culprits. In men, their exposure to estrogen in the environment...water, food and various products, causes them to have increased estrogen. You are changing daily and your doctor does not inform you...what's going on?

You need a doctor on your team who has experience with the old and new, keeping current in knowledge and wisdom of managing these culprits. For example, formulating vitamins and minerals based on your own DNA...revoluntion. You do not have to take mega vitamins in a one size fits all method or worse, taking no vitamins. During your consultation, you will begin to understand the powerful roles of hormones, vitamins and minerals in your body. And why it is wise to supplement them for your own DNA. 

I have been prescribing bio-identical hormones for 9 years...I am the first doctor on the Northshore of Chicago to give Bio-identical Creams and Pellets for hormones replacement. I am the only doctor that has experience in alternative medicine / holistic medicine (acupuncture, herbs, hypnosis, and supplements) that uses Bio-identical Hormones. These experiences help me  find out what's going on with YOU. I have witnessed the transition of many people recapturing the quality of their lives. Hormones are more than "sexual power". Hormones are the ultra-fuel of the body. At the early age of 40, your hormones commence on their decline pattern and by the age of 50, you have lost more than 50% of your hormones. You know you feel the differences. In my opinion, these hormones need to be replaced in a manner that does not overwhelm your body. And, of course, these hormones should be of the best of quality. There are doctors who believe that you do not need bio-identical hormones...what are they thinking?

The negatives stories you have heard about hormones pertained to synthetic hormones...not bio-identical hormones...there are big differences. I will evaluate all of your body functions though blood analysis. If you are willing to re-think and re-shape your life, you can change your life. I can help you  create a new self-awareness and appreciation. I am a "bio-chips in the hip" (pellets therapy) patient also. Therefore, you understand my committment and passion for bio-identical hormones.

In my opinion, hormones are the ultra-fuel that have the ability to create energy. Why are you so afraid of hormones? You did not have this fear during your teenager years. You believed negative things that you read or were told about hormones. Doctors state that there are no "natural hormones". They do not know the difference between "synthetic" and "bio-identical hormones". Consequently, we are afraid of the things that we don't understand.

Hold on men. We think women are afraid of estrogen. Do you know that men over 50 years old may have more estrogen than a 50 year old women? Men are terrified of testosterone due to stories about synthetic testosterone. You never hear about your estrogen level. As men age, their testosterone levels fall and their estrogen levels rise...thus, physiological changes occur in their bodies (girly men). Increase your testosterone and reclaim your body and manhood. Men, please read the section (Men)dedicated to you on this website. Ladies, please read this section and talk to your partner. Communicating couples stay together and play well together...benefits of bio-identical hormones are for men and women. You do not fall out of love, but out of hormones...is my personal experience. I  look forward to meeting you.

Why not get your hormones levels evaluated using a battery of tests...blood and saliva! Learn the truth about hormones. Your treatment will be based on your blood levels rather than what doctors feel or think. I am a medical doctor (MD), an acupuncturist, herbalist, medical hypnotist and I practice the principles of anti-aging medicine (age management medicine). Because of this vast experience, I have the trust of many patients in these pioneering days of bio-identical hormones. Patients travel long distances to see me. Since the Oprah show, the hits on my website have doubled. Many doctors do not recognize their roles in your life regarding hormones. Questions about hormones?...email me at lowja1@hotmail.com with the subject...hormones.

If your quality of life is not as it should be, most likely your hormones are involved. No age or sex are exempted. Please email me your comments at lowja1@hotmail.com. 

Ladies presently experiencing menopausal symptoms: hot flashes, inability to sleep, feeling fatigue, low sex drive (libido), depression, and numerous other symptoms, may find using bio-identical hormones, your hot flashes may be gone in 3 days. Why do so many women suffer these miseries?  Dr. Lowry, "I am not myself". Hormones help alleviate palpitations, migraine headaches, memory fog or memory loss (what do you think is going on in your brain), weight gain. Hormones can act as a booster fuel to get you out of your plateau or declining spiral. To consult with me about hormones; email: lowja1@hotmail.com.
