]]>Everyone talks about menopause and the symptoms that wreak havoc on a woman’s life. Andropause is a less understood condition that affects men, and it’s turning your world upside down. It all started when you hit 40. Every day it is a struggle to get out of bed and find enough energy to get through the day. You’re irritable and you’ve lost your stamina during your daily workout. Your weight is creeping up even though you haven’t done anything different with your routine. You’ve lost your libido, a problem that bothers you more than anything else. There’s a good chance that you are suffering from andropause. Bio-identical hormone replacement can help you to manage your symptoms and feel like yourself again.

What is Andropause and How Can Hormone Therapy Help?

When you were in your teens and twenties, your reproductive hormones were at their peak levels. For men, testosterone is the hormone that makes you feel like a powerhouse, giving you energy, strength and a healthy sex drive. Once you hit 30, your hormones began to drop. At 40 and beyond, you could experience a significant drop as your reproductive system gets ready to shut down. This decline in hormone levels is known as andropause. For some men, it is hardly noticeable. Others feel like you, as if they are on a roller coaster and want to get off.

Bio-identical hormone replacement involves using prescribed doses of bio-identical hormones to supplement your low hormone levels. The bio-identical hormones generally come from plant sources and match the makeup of the hormones that are found in your body.

How Can You Begin Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement?

You should always seek a doctor’s assistance when it comes to bio-identical hormone replacement. You want to be sure that you are using hormones that are safe for your body at the proper dosage. When you come in to see our doctor, you will be asked a series of questions about your symptoms. Expect a physical examination and a blood test. The blood test will be able to determine any low levels of hormones in your body. Dr. Cady will rule out any other condition that could be causing your symptoms, such as a thyroid problem or an issue with your heart. If hormones are to blame, our doctor can discuss your options for bio-identical hormone replacement.

]]>You knew that your hormones could throw you for a loop. This especially holds true with reproductive hormones as middle age approaches. A significant drop in reproductive hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, can occur any time after the age of 40, making a person feel irritable, fatigued and weak. Fluctuations in these hormones can also lead to, or aggravate, depression. If you have been suffering from depression, bio-identical hormone therapy could help you to manage your condition.

Battling Depression with Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy

As a woman, you can really be put through an emotional wringer when it comes to your hormones. You may feel like you are being dragged down as your body prepares for menopause. Anxiety is common as well while you battle hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain and insomnia. It’s enough to make you feel like you are going crazy.

This is a time in your life when you are at the mercy of your hormones, but you do have options that can make you feel better. Bio-identical hormone therapy can help you to manage depression and the other troubling symptoms that have been bringing you down.

How Do Bio-Identical Hormones Work?

Bio-identical hormones usually come from plant sources, such as soybeans or yams. They are natural and have the same makeup as the hormones that are produced by your body. When you opt for a hormone replacement regimen that uses hormones that match your own, your body will accept them more easily. In time, you will begin to feel relief from your symptoms. You will be able to restore balance to your hormone levels, improving your well-being in the process.

Getting Started with Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy

To begin bio-identical hormone therapy to treat your depression, you need to schedule an appointment to see our physician at Cady Wellness Institute in Newburgh, IN. During this meeting, Dr. Cady will discuss your symptoms, look at your medical history and take a blood test. Your blood test will be able to determine if your hormones have dropped.

If you do have an imbalance in your hormone levels, our doctor can prescribe bio-identical hormones that are the proper dosage for you. In time, your mood will begin to improve. You can finally take charge of your emotions with a little bit of help from our experienced doctor. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation to learn more.

]]>Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, also known as EMDR therapy, is a form of psychotherapy designed to help people heal from extremely traumatic life events. EMDR therapy will help reduce the emotional distress, panic attacks, anxiety and other serious symptoms that most people experience after undergoing a disturbing experience in their life. EMDR therapy combines several different popular treatment approaches into one extremely effective technique to remove as much psychological stress as possible.

While you will never forget what happened, EMDR therapy can help remove the upsetting symptoms you experience every time the event is brought up. This will stop you from constantly reliving the sights and sounds of the event. EMDR therapy uses eight treatment phases to provide effective results.

The first phase of EMDR therapy will have you reveal as much information about your past history as possible. You will have to be prepared to discuss the disturbing event that brought you to seek therapy. This information will help the therapist develop the right treatment plan for you. The first phase of EMDR therapy can usually be completed in one or two sessions depending on how many traumatic events you have experienced.

The second phase of EMDR therapy is called preparation. You will be taught several specific techniques to help you deal with your emotional stress. This will help you prepare for the upcoming treatment sessions while also making it easier to cope between treatment sessions. This phase of the therapy can usually be completely in one to three sessions.

Phases three to six of EMDR therapy will have you directly deal with the traumatic event, the negative thoughts this event brings up and the body sensations felt throughout the trauma. While you are visualizing a distinct image from the traumatic event, you will use eye movements, taps on the body and audible tones to help you cope with this image. This will help you desensitize your brain to the disturbing event.

After completing the eye movements, taps and tones, you will be instructed to let your mind go blank. This process will be repeated until you no longer have problematic symptoms associated with this image. Once you are no longer experiencing emotional distress when thinking of the traumatic event, you will be asked to think of a positive time in your life. This will help train the brain to start to associate something positive with the disturbing event. The goal is to complete these four phases of treatment in one therapy session, but that is not possible with everyone.

The entire process of phase three to six of EMDR therapy will be repeated if you have multiple traumatic events that need to be addressed. Phase seven of EMDR therapy is called closure, and it will be how you end each session. You will undergo a self-calming technique to ensure that you are ready to return to your normal life. You will come back for one more sessions during phase eight of treatment, which is called reevaluation. This session will consist of examining the progress you made throughout your previous sessions.

If you have experienced a traumatic life event and the aftereffects are interfering with your everyday life, we strongly encourage you to visit Cady Wellness Institute in Newburgh, IN to learn more information about EMDR therapy. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

]]>Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS for short, is a non-invasive procedure used to treat depression. It uses magnetic energy to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Doctors often use TMS when other treatment methods haven’t worked.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

During a transcranial magnetic stimulation session, the medical professional will place an electromagnetic coil on the patient’s scalp near their forehead. The coil sends a pulse of electromagnetic energy into the patient’s brain that stimulates the nerve cells in the region that controls mood.

The treatment is simple, and it is usually an outpatient procedure. The patient will generally undergo daily sessions multiple times a week for four to six weeks. It generally takes a few weeks for the treatment to produce results.

The first session is the longest and takes about an hour. The medical professional will need to determine the best dose of magnetic energy and the best place for the coil. The doctor will place an electromagnetic coil on the patient’s head and begin mapping or trying to determine the best place. The coil will be turned on and off to produce the pulses. The patient will feel tapping on their forehead and may hear tapping or clicking noises during the process.

The doctor will then determine the appropriate amount of energy to use by increasing the dosage until the patient’s hands or fingers start twitching. The doctor will use that motor threshold as a reference point. The doctor may change the energy dosage during treatment.

Subsequent sessions will last around 40 minutes. The patient can resume their usual routine immediately after a session, including driving or working.

Who is a Good Candidate for TMS?

People in overall good health are usually good candidates for transcranial magnetic stimulation. It is not recommended for people with implanted devices or metal. People who are taking any kind of medication, be it prescription, over-the-counter or supplements, need to inform our doctor. Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should also talk to our doctor before undergoing TMS.

]]>The processes of the body are many threads interwoven infinite times. Something as seemingly benign as prolonged stress can combine with other factors to make undesirable conditions like cancer into a reality. The key to decreasing the likelihood of acquiring these life-threatening conditions while improving a patient’s health resides with understanding the way functional factors influence a patient’s overall health.

This practice is known as functional medical testing. It is one of the more robust ways of ensuring that a patient can stay healthy by examining how the parts of a person’s health affect the whole.

What is Functional Medical Testing?

Functional medical testing attempts to look at a number of unique and interconnected aspects that may result in varying performance of the body, which in turn can lead to the development of health problems and other undesirable conditions.

Elements that functional medical testing may examine include:

• Biological factors – This can include white blood cell counts, the presence of nutrients in blood and the body’s effectiveness at responding to biological pathogens.
• Environmental inputs – Food allergies, the amount of nutrition a patient receives, physical exercise levels and stress factors are all things that functional medical testing seeks to examine and evaluate.
• Genetic factors – DNA is both a starting point and an evolving blueprint for your body’s biological building blocks. By examining your genetic makeup, the ability of your body to repair and maintain itself can be evaluated.
• Mind-body qualities – The many links between the mind and the body are undeniable. By examining how mind factors affect the body and vice versa, functional medical testing can help form more effective ways to treat and prevent problems.

The goal of examining these various, seemingly unrelated factors is to create a picture of how the patient’s body interacts with both internal and external stimuli. This can help to accurately pinpoint the cause of certain problems while forecasting the development of other conditions that could become lifelong chronic conditions if left untreated.

Why Can It Help You Evaluate Your Health?

The “popular” method of treating a patient first requires that a tangible problem develops. This allows a doctor to diagnose an issue before troubleshooting it. The problem with this is that it is like waiting until your car breaks down to visit a mechanic. The repairs can be costly; the repair process is lengthy; and the car may not perform as well as it did before the trauma was incurred.

Functional medical testing seeks to prevent problems before they develop. This minimizes the negative developments a patient will face while maximizing the overall status of a patient’s health.

To learn more about the uses of functional medical testing, schedule an appointment at Cady Wellness Institute in Newburgh, IN. Our experienced care providers will utilize their knowledge and experience with the latest in diagnostic technology to provide you with an effective diagnosis that successfully prevents and treats many conditions.
