I became a legacy provider two years ago. Helpful for you to know that I have over 500 patients and have pelleted since 2018. That's a lot of pellets! Come see me. Let's talk about hormones.

Did you know? Everyone experiences hormone imbalance differently; each patient’s symptoms are unique.

That’s why our Certified BioTE Medical Providers customize our bio-identical hormone replace therapy (BHRT) to each new patient! Learn more about our personalized approach here: https://www.biotemedical.com/bioidentical-hormone-replacement-pellet-therapy/bhrt

Allergy season is in full bloom!! Yeah! Allergy headaches, rhinitis itchy eyes, sneezing some of the lovely symptoms. How to control the allergic symptoms ? do this by controlling the allergic response. Vitamin C, quercitin, echinacea can all be used to control allergic response. We now have great homeopathic nasal sprays and eye drops also. Come see me about treating allergies naturally and say good by to allergy meds that make you grouchy and sleepy!!

The limbic system is part of the brain that controls emotion, behavior, motivation and long term memory. Cognition depends on acquisition and retention of memories, in which the hippocampus, a primary limbic structure have been repeatedly redefined. The control of the limbic system is dependent on not only memories, but the secretion of hormones.
There is a hypothesis that our nervous systems are not self-contained, but rather demonstrably tuned to those around us. When we have empathy, called "limbic resonance", we share a capacity to feel what others are experiencing.

I find the physiology of the heart fascinating. What happens when we fall in love? What are the hormones involved? What is the big deal? How we react physiologically to a potential mate can determine the longevity of the relationship. If we don't respond with surges of serotonin, cortisol, oxytocin we tend to move on, but what determines the hormonal surge? Is it instinct or the mind?

SEROTONIN -people cannot fall in love without serotonin. Patients on anti depressants blocking serotonin cannot fall in love. Chemically, the serotonin effects of being infatuated look similar to obsessive compulsive disorder (What?!) which would explain why people experiencing infatuation can't think of anyone else.

OXYTOCIN -the hormone related to the attachment phase of the relationship. This hormone helps us feel bonded to our beloved.

CORTISOL -increases during the falling in love phase. People who were tested that had recently fallen in love had higher levels of cortisol.

So what comes first the hormones or the love? Is the love instinct/attraction causing us to feel protective and nurturing, sexual and bonded? Or is the hormonal surge causing us to act this way?

More on this topic later when we introduce the limbic system of the brain...

Allergy season is in full bloom! What do you do to control those allergy symptoms of runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes? There are many homeopathic remedies and herbal remedies for the relief of allergy symptoms. Allergies are caused by the immune system overacting. Controlling that response is the key to decreasing symptoms. By building up your immune system with herbs and vitamins you can help your body heal from allergies. By balancing your body's natural hormones of cortisol and DHEA you can heal your allergies completely. I use many techniques , NAET, muscle response testing, as well as serum testing to find out what you are allergic too. Then we build up your body , control the stress , and heal from the inside out. It is really exciting to see people I treated last year not having allergy symptoms this year. Come see me and lets talk about your treatment. Get to the cause, treat the cause and feel better today.
