What is Sermorelin and How Can It Help?

They say you’re only as young as you feel – but if your body is definitely having a hard time catching up with your youthful mind.  It seems as though your body starts to feel every year that goes by.  You may be starting to lose muscle mass, or have a hard time getting a good night’s sleep.  You may even be seeing a dip in your sex drive, as well as your overall energy levels.

You’re not ready to start feeling this way – and you want answers, stat.

That’s where Sermorelin might come into play.  Made up of ammino acids or peptides, Sermorelin is used to signal our pituitary gland to increase human growth hormone levels within the body.  Human growth hormones (HGH) are essential for regulating your energy levels, sex drive, and even your physical performance.  As you age, your body’s natural production of HGH starts to decline, which is why you may be feeling more lethargic.

While Sermorelin was developed in the 1970s, anti-aging experts are just starting to use this synthetic ammino acid polypetide to treat lagging HGH production.  When administered on a daily basis, Sermorelin can increase the natural production of human growth hormones, thus helping a patient enjoy the following benefits:

  • Increased sex drive
  • Increased energy levels
  • Greater concentration
  • Increased mental clarity
  • Increased fat loss
  • Improved physical performance
  • Improved quality of sleep
  • Increased lean muscle mass
  • Improved immune system

Sermorelin is also a viable option for patients who may not be able to undergo HGH therapy.  This type of therapy directly replaces declining HGH levels within the body; however, Sermorelin naturally stimulates the pituitary gland, which is responsible for producing these hormones.  As a result, Sermorelin is a better option for patients who are looking for a more natural alternative to traditional HGH therapy.

If you’re interested in undergoing Sermorelin treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  During your consultation, Dr. Le will perform comprehensive testing to determine a complete overview of the state of your hormones.  This testing can help Dr. Le develop a customized hormone therapy program for you, which may include Sermorelin.

The Biggest Cause of Muscle Loss in Men

 

Hormone theory for low testosterone levels

image from dreamstime.com

They say with age comes wisdom – but they didn’t mention anything about losing muscle mass.  You worked hard to develop your lean muscle, and you’re not about to lose your definition just because you’ve celebrated a few birthdays.

Unfortunately, men tend to experience muscle loss as they age.  This condition is known as andropause muscle loss, which is the muscle loss that’s caused by a combination of aging and hormonal imbalance.  While most men tend to experience this condition in their 50s and 60s, some men as young as 20 have encountered andropause muscle loss.

During andropause – where testosterone levels start to dip – muscle fibers are converted into fat, which further exacerbates the loss of muscle definition, low energy levels, and a general feeling of lethargy.  Testosterone is essential for not only producing defined muscles, but for a man’s sex drive and energy levels.  This is why men who are going through andropause often feel lethargic and depressed, as their essential testosterone levels are beginning to flag.

While a high-protein diet and strengthening exercises can help men fight against some of the common symptoms of andropause, it’s often not enough.  In order to promote increased levels of testosterone production – as well as address issues related to muscle mass and strength – schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.

As an anti-aging expert, Dr. Nhi Le can administer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to increase muscle mass, energy levels, and sexual appetite.  Bioidentical hormones are naturally derived from plants; however, they are identical to the hormones within our bodies.  Bioidentical hormones can replace flagging testosterone levels, thus helping to counteract the symptoms associated with andropause.

In addition to administering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Nhi Le can design a customized diet and exercise plan so your body can begin rebuilding muscle.  Dr. Le will also monitor your therapy through weekly sessions to ensure that you’re experiencing the best benefits from your regimen.

Bioidentical hormone therapy can play a key role in helping you regain your muscle definition, as well as enjoy higher energy levels and a healthy sex drive.  To learn more about bioidentical testosterone therapy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today.

Simple Steps For Improving Your Nutrition

Simple Steps For Improving Your NutritionImproving your nutrition is an important step for achieving so many goals.  Whether you want to lose weight or make your skin appear to glow from within, getting proper nutrition can have a myriad of amazing benefits.

Of course, improving your nutrition might be easier said than done.  With so many confusing labels on our foods today, it can be difficult to understand what you’re really getting from your food.  So how can you make improvements to your diet without feeling like you need the expertise of a nutritionist?

Here are a few simple steps for improving your nutrition:

  • Only eat carbs when you’ve worked out.  Carbs – especially those made from whole grains – are essential to your body, but not in excess.  If you limit carbs to the days you work out, you can ensure your body is using carbs as energy, not to store fat.
  • Pay attention to liquid calories.  You might not realize it, but consuming daily lattes made with whole milk and knocking back a couple of drinks after work can pack a serious caloric punch.  What’s more, these drinks can actually deplete your body of much-needed vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrition.  If you have to get your daily latte, make sure it’s made with non-fat, soy, or almond milk.
  • Cut out sugary sodas and juices.  This is one of the easiest ways to cut out hundreds of calories, especially if you have a daily habit of consuming soda and juice.  Even diet sodas should get the heave-ho, as artificial sugars can mess with your energy levels as well as your metabolism.
  • Add a fruit or a vegetable to each meal.  This is an easy way to ensure you get the nutrition you need, as fruit and veggies contain a number of important vitamins and minerals.  Add a salad to your dinner meal, or eat a banana with your breakfast.  If you make this a daily habit, you’ll see a real boost in your energy levels and weight-loss effort.
  • Pick your foods wisely at restaurants.  Avoid dishes that are made with creams or fried, and instead order dishes that have been baked, broiled, or steam.

Need a little more help with your nutrition?  Schedule a medial weight-loss and nutrition consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today at (361) 576-9100!

A Discrete and Effective Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

erectile dysfunction victoria txFor many men, decreased testosterone levels can manifest through a variety of symptoms and conditions – none of which is more disheartening than erectile dysfunction.  When testosterone levels dip, the ability to achieve and maintain firm erections is immediately impacted, as it becomes difficult for the body to increase blood flow into the penis.

While erectile dysfunction is treated with a variety of medications, the truth is that not all of them are the most convenient or even safe for consistent use.  Men who have heart conditions are not allowed to take common erectile dysfunction medications.  It’s a terrible Catch-22: you’re more likely to have erectile dysfunction with low testosterone levels, which also put you at risk for developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and other dangerous symptoms.

If your sex life or self-confidence is suffering from erectile dysfunction, it’s time to discover a new treatment that won’t put your heart at risk: the Priapus Shot (or “P Shot”).

This unique and innovative injection was developed based on the following premise:  if cosmetic treatments that utilize platelet-rich plasma (or PRP) are able to produce firmer facial skin by stimulating healthy blood flow, then couldn’t a similar approach be taken toward those suffering from erectile dysfunction?  In fact, the creator of The Vampire Facelift (which utilizes PRP treatments) who developed the Priapus Shot for those who find it difficult to maintain an erection. You can check out the official Priapus Shot website here.

accmalogoThere are many advantages to using the Priapus Shot, which include the following:

  • Results are immediate; in fact, as soon as the shot is administered, the penis becomes fuller and firmer.  This can straighten and strengthen the penis, which is ideal for men who may be self-conscious of its shape.
  • There are little to no side effects, as the Priapus Shot is created from the PRP within your own body.
  • There’s a noticeable increase in size, with increased blood circulation.  This helps to create a much healthier penis, thus cutting down risks for future erectile dysfunction.
  • If you take erectile dysfunction medications, the Priapus Shot actually helps these medications work better.
  • There’s no lumpiness associated with this treatment, so you’ll achieve the aesthetic look that will make you feel confident again.

If you’re interested in the Priapus Shot, visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Center in Victoria, TX today. We serve all of South Texas, including the gulf coast region from Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Sugar Land.

Discover a Personalized Low Testosterone Hormone Therapy

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, sluggish, and devoid of any sexual drive recently – and you’re just chalking it up to getting older – you may be mistaken in your efforts to place the blame.  Sure, getting older means experiencing a dip in the energy and sexual appetite you had as a younger man.  But that doesn’t mean it should impact your personal life, or keep you from enjoying the activities and hobbies you love.

It’s possible that you may be suffering from low testosterone levels, especially if you’re displaying the following symptoms:

  • Decreased appetite for sexual activity
  • Fewer erections
  • Increased body fat
  • Fatigue or lack of energy/interest
  • Hot flashes
  • Decrease in muscle mass
  • Disturbances in sleep

While testosterone is often attributed to maintaining a man’s sex drive, it’s also responsible for maintaining energy levels, muscle mass, and sleep cycles, as well as minimizing body fat and cholesterol levels.  Therefore, it’s important for men who may be suffering from low testosterone levels to treat these hormones as quickly as possible, so they can enjoy life again.
