Balancing Hormones Just Got Easier for Residents of the Magic City

May 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Birmingham, AL, Men and women living in the Heart of Dixie can live better, longer, thanks to bioidentical hormones expert Dr. David Smithson and the addition of BodyLogicMD’s first Alabama-based practice, BodyLogicMD of Birmingham. Dr. Smithson devotes his practice to addressing the growing demand of women and men in their 30’s and older seeking relief from the symptoms of hormonal imbalance(http://www.bodylogicmd.com/bioidentical-hormone-therapy), as well as other age-related symptoms commonly associated with perimenopause, menopause, and andropause (the male menopause).

“I made the decision to transition into anti-aging and functional medicine to help promote optimal health from an early age and stop putting ‘band-aids’ on disease states often associated with aging,” shares Dr. Smithson. “My BodyLogicMD practice gives me the opportunity to make a greater impact on my patients’ health, by taking a more proactive approach to address underlying issues and help prevent disease further down the road, rather than merely treating the patient on a symptomatic basis. In addition, I now have more time to work with my patients individually to focus on their individual needs and develop a customized wellness regimen that suits them best.”

Dr. Smithson encourages his patients to embrace a healthy lifestyle through structured fitness programs, balanced nutritional guidance and the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), when necessary, to relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, depression, hot flashes, low libido, muscle loss, weight gain and sexual dysfunction.

“We’re thrilled to bring the nation’s best in anti-aging and preventive medicine to Birmingham,” says BodyLogicMD Chief Medical Officer Jennifer Landa, M.D. “Dr. Smithson has great expertise and years of training in the field of preventive and wellness medicine and his skill-set and devotion will surely prove to be an invaluable asset to our team.”
