There is a lot of New Medical Information that is important for patients to make healthy decisions about their care or the care of their loved ones that you won’t hear about on the news.

For new research to reach you, the public, a researcher or a drug company has to spend a great deal of money for the public relations people to push information into the light. I compiled the research I thought you might want to know about that has been discovered during the past 6 months. I always use these studies to educate my patients and to change my protocols for treatment, although many of them have been part of my practice for quite a while, because they just confirm what I have been seeing in my Integrative and preventive medical practice for years.

The First Group of Discoveries Relate to Menopause,
and the Risks of Being Menopausal

The most recent article in Lancet confirmed what has been obvious to me in my GYN practice
for years. I am not sure why this actually required a study to prove that Menopause is tied to a higher rate of depression and anxiety, in conjunction with insomnia, higher stress perception, and hot flashes. This study documented what the loss of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone can do to women in menopause. The sad fact is that this article doesn’t tell the reader what they need to know, how to treat these symptoms.

However, I will let you in on a self-discovered fact: The replacement of the hormones that disappear before and during menopause can be replaced in a non-oral delivery system to treat these symptoms. I have 40 years of medical practice that proves my findings that agree with the problem, and my treatment with hormones.

The Lancet:
Menopause tied to mental health issues in certain women
A study found that when certain women are menopausal, they increase their risk of Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder who experienced stressful life events, had poor sleep related to hot flashes, or had previous depressive symptoms of depression were more likely to develop menopause-related mental health problems. Researchers wrote in the journal The Lancet that some women escape the mental health effects of menopause altogether.

Another recent study about menopause discovers that a lack of estradiol in the post menopause causes women to have trouble thinking. I agree with that revelation, but why doesn’t the research take the next step and suggest a treatment to prevent this result of hormone loss? Why doesn’t the research tell us how to help women think by replacing their estradiol? Many other studies confirm that replacing estradiol will delay the onset of dementia by 10 years. Another study reveals that the replacement of testosterone will delay dementia it 10 more years. These studies occurred over 20 years ago, but this study doesn’t cite them.

Poor and worsening cognitive function is one of the most frequent complaints of my new patients coming to BioBalance Health® for treatment of menopause and low testosterone with bioidentical hormone pellets.

Dr Maupin:
I am continually reminded of the importance of testosterone and estradiol replacement is to aging men and women when they come back for their second pellet insertion and review their list of the symptoms they complained of before they started E and T pellets The most frequent response I witness when I ask if a woman’s ability to think, do her job and stay organized is completely better after 3 months of Estradiol and Testosterone pellets, is crying with relief! Many patients are deeply worried that they are developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s Disease when they first come to me, but are able to go back to work and or experience a renewed quality of life because their ability to think, they can now feel confident in their professions and careers.

The results illustrate the relationship between estradiol level and functional connectivity in postmenopausal women. They have implications for understanding how the functioning of the brain changes for individuals after
menopause that may eventually lead to changes in cognition and behavior in older ages.
