The human gut microbiome is composed of an enormous number of microorganisms, generally regarded as commensal bacteria. Without this inherent microbial community, we would be unable to digest plant polysaccharides and would have trouble extracting lipids from our diet. Resident gut bacteria are an important contributor to healthy metabolism and there is significant evidence linking gut microbiota and metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. In the past few years, neuroscience research has demonstrated the importance of microbiota in the development of brain systems that are vital to both stress reactivity and stress-related behaviors. Every living human experiences stress. Stress is a natural response to stimuli that may challenge the body’s homeostatic state. In the realm of biology, stress refers to what happens when an organism responds any unbalance in homeostasis. Understanding the biochemical interactions that constitute the stress response requires a definition of s

Although not many people have heard of or learned about injectable peptide therapy before, there is extensive research in this field regarding the benefits of peptides. Scientists may have stumbled upon the illusive “Fountain of Youth.” Recent breakthroughs have given doctors the ability to prescribe peptide therapy to stop ageing in its tracks. Peptides are produced naturally in the body; however, over time the body loses the ability to create as much as it once used to. Peptide therapy through injection encourages the body to produce its own amino acids.  Having optimal levels of human growth hormone (HGH) is important!  Growth hormone (GH) is a small protein that is made by the pituitary gland and secreted into the bloodstream. GH production is controlled by a complex set of hormones produced in the hypothalamus of the brain and in the intestinal tract and pancreas. As with other key hormones — such as testosterone and estrogen — having healthy levels of growth hormone is importan

Hormone Replacement for Men & Women As we age, hormone levels will decline. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the replacement of hormones in menopausal women and andropausal men. You are very fortunate that you have found a clinician who believes that you deserve individualized healthcare and understands that one size does not fit all. You will receive hormone doses specifically for you, in a dosage form that fits your body and your lifestyle.  What are pellet implants? Hormone pellets are surgically implanted into the patient for HRT. The pellets are tiny cylinders that are inserted into a numbed area of subcutaneous fat, typically in the hip or the abdomen. This dosage form is very physiologic in that it closely mimics how your body releases hormones. The pellets can last 3-6 months, depending on the patient. Another benefit of pellet therapy is that the pellets remain within the body and consistently provide the dosing that the body requires. This contrasts with othe
