If you are taking medication to assist with weight loss, it is important to adopt proactive strategies to mitigate potential side effects. Medications work best when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. These habits can not only enhance the drug’s benefits but also help alleviate its side effects. In addition, the following tips can be useful:

➡️ Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods: Since you are eating less, it's crucial to include nutrient-dense foods to ensure your body receives the essential nutrients it needs.
➡️Stay Well-Hydrated: Aim to drink plenty of water and limit your caffeine intake, as caffeine can cause dehydration.
➡️Consult Your Doctor Before Changing Dosage: Monitor how your body responds to each medication dosage change and report any side effects to your healthcare provider.
➡️Attend All Scheduled Appointments: Regular monitoring by your healthcare provider allows for early detection and management of potential problems, ensuring your treatment stays on track.

Psoriasis is a non-contagious skin condition that develops when the body produces skin cells too quickly, resulting in thick, scaly patches on the surface of the skin. This chronic, inflammatory disease affects up to 3.2% of the U.S. population, with plaque psoriasis being the most common type. These plaques, which are often itchy and painful, can appear anywhere but are usually found on the knees, elbows, lower back, or scalp.

Psoriasis is typically a lifelong condition, influenced by genetic predisposition and immune system dysfunction. Various triggers, such as stress, skin injuries, infections, cold weather, alcohol, and certain medications, can exacerbate the condition.

Our pharmacist works closely with prescribers to customize formulas tailored to clinical treatment plans. Our compounded solutions, often in the form of topical treatments, may help to provide relief and help manage psoriasis symptoms.

Recent research has shown that menopausal hormone therapy may significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, especially in women with a high genetic predisposition. A study involving 28,486 postmenopausal women showed that hormone therapy's protective effect against colorectal cancer is stronger in those with higher genetic risk scores.

Key Findings:
🔑Risk Reduction: hormone therapy users with the highest genetic risk had a 30-year colorectal cancer risk of 3.7%, compared to 6.1% for non-users.
🔑Genetic Factors: The study highlights the importance of considering genetic risk when evaluating the benefits of menopausal hormone therapy.
🔑Personalized Medicine: These insights could lead to more personalized hormone therapy plans, balancing benefits and risks based on individual genetic profiles.

This research underscores the potential for using genetic information to evaluate hormone therapy use and improve colorectal cancer risk prediction models.

Is it time to explore a custom hormone solution?

Compounding is the preparation of a custom formulation of a medication to fit a patient’s unique needs which cannot be met with commercially available products.

Millions of women rely on bioidentical hormones for menopausal issues, fertility challenges, and other hormonal imbalances.

Compounding permits the dose, dosage form, and route of administration to be customized and titrated to obtain the desired clinical effect in each individual patient while minimizing any potential side effects. This is why so many patients prefer cBHT as compared to manufactured products available only in limited dosage forms and strengths.

Hypogonadism, characterized by low testosterone levels, can stem from various causes, including inadequate testosterone production, improper brain signaling, and high estrogen levels. This condition can lead to symptoms like loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, depression, and fatigue.

Low testosterone is complex because it involves multiple factors and often unclear causes. Proper testing for testosterone, estrogen, and luteinizing hormone (LH) is essential. While testosterone supplementation is a common treatment, other approaches may be required.

To help manage estrogen levels, lifestyle changes centered around diet and exercise are a first step. Nutritional supplements supporting testosterone levels, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc may also help.

Our compounding pharmacy offers personalized therapies and nutritional supplements to support men's health and manage hypogonadism.
