It may be perfectly right that in the “Nutrition Survey” excess weight is associated with the educational background. However, a major cause has been ignored: Hormonal imbalances. If a person is overweight, in most cases too much or too little of individual hormones is produced. Although the original cause for this imbalance can often be found in one’s heating habits, this imbalance often makes efforts to lose weight by dieting alone little successful.

In men, a lack of hormones – specifically an underproduction of growth hormones – becomes manifest in the typical “love handles” being detrimental to a person’s attractiveness from the age of 40. In women, the lack of progesterone may be the reason why they become more and more voluptuous mainly around their belly and breasts from the age of 40.

Many people find it difficult to lose weight because they produce relatively too much cortisol or too little thyroid hormone. Hormonal imbalances often start with pregnancy, when women find it less difficult to lose weight than before.

After detailed analysis of the hormonal level, a treatment with bioidentical hormones is a possibility to regain the body’s balance and facilitate sustained weight reduction. This must of course be complemented by a customised diet with a reduced intake of carbohydrates, as well as adequate exercise!

In the current episode of SATC, Samantha Jones is rejuvenating herself with bioidentical hormones, which she takes at breakfast in the form of many colorful pills or applies as crèmes. “I’m 52, and when you’re 50, I’ll look like I’m 35,” she says to motivate her friends Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. On a trip to Abu Dhabi, however, her hormone preparations get confiscated by customs as “drugs,” despite her insistence that they are merely “bioidentical and extracted from yams.”

Suddenly deprived of her hormonal fountain of youth, and in spite of the seductive, athletic men at the hotel pool, she soon suffers from no longer having any real desire for sex. And to top things off, when faced with imprisonment for kissing on the beach, she and her friends flee on the next flight back to the USA, “the land of freedom and hormones,” where thanks to melatonin, testosterone, etc., she can truly experience pleasure with her man from Abu Dhabi without any adverse physical or legal consequences.

Starting at around 40 years old, or even younger when under severe work-related stress, a bioidentical hormone regimen is highly recommended, as it can prevent many aging-induced limitations. Unlike in the past when doctors used to prescribe only synthetic sex hormones, which had certain side effects, with Hormonal Regeneration each deficient hormone is supplemented with bioidentical hormones, thus duplicating the hormone level of a young person. The overworked endocrine glands can thus cut back their own production and recover. The improvement of mental state and increase in performance thus achieved take effect very quickly, within a few weeks. A sustainable result with visible physical rejuvenation, however, requires several months of continuous optimum treatment by a specialist.

At any rate, Samantha would be well-advised to have her next treatment adjustment done in our Clinic DDr. Heinrich here in Vienna. Then she wouldn’t have to keep taking a whole handful of colorful pills at breakfast: Thanks to my research, there is now a bioidentical hormone combination preparation in which the daily dose of the most important bioidentical hormones are contained in a single capsule: Instant Chi by Clinic DDr. Heinrich. Samantha would need to take this capsule once a day five times a week. More intensive Hormonal Regeneration therapies also require routine injections. Moreover, we would give Samantha a doctor’s certificate for customs. Hence the next time she goes away on vacation, she’ll be able to get her hormone preparations through customs, as obviously it is important not to miss any doses when one is on a Hormonal Regeneration regimen.

Whether men should be given testosterone after a certain age or whether doing so would be considered as malpractice is still a hotly debated issue among medical specialists in Austria. At leading professional conferences in other countries, however, the discussion tends to focus more on “when to start” and what the dose should be when it comes to hormonal regeneration.

It has been a known fact for some time that many esthetic and health problems related to aging are directly linked to hormone deficiencies and hence should logically be treated with well-thought-out substitution. This also applies to the spectrum of “burn-out” disorders in persons over 30 years old, because “burn-out” is merely a term describing a condition in which the endocrine glands become overworked and worn out from chronic stress.

The use of bioidentical hormones with molecular structures identical to those of the “real” hormones is important in a well-thought-out hormonal regeneration; as is the balancing of the substituted hormones with all other hormones in the body, as the latter are cybernetically linked with each other. For example, administering only testosterone to men or only estrogen to women can lead to hormonal imbalances, which can cause all kinds of side effects.

Obviously a hormonal regeneration must always take place under a medical specialist’s supervision, in order to ensure that there is no testicular shrinkage!

As every reader of my blog knows, I have been working for a long time with Hormonal Regeneration and hence I know how effective an individualized holistic treatment with bioidentical hormones can be in most cases. The effect of this individualized therapy, in which the levels of all hormones are raised to the optimum values of young adults, is superb! In many cases plastic surgery and cosmetic operations such as face lifts and eyelid correction can be avoided, and when combined with microcannular liposuction, it quite often eases the otherwise difficult process of weight loss!

As an important component of New Cosmetic Surgery, Hormonal Regeneration indeed visibly, tangibly, and sustainably rejuvenates. However, it also requires numerous administrations of hormones in the form of capsules, creams, shots, and powders. Furthermore, it is a rather elaborate and also expensive process, which is why it is not an option as a long-term therapy for the vast majority of patients at the present time.

In my mind anyway, a practical solution would be a biodentical hormone therapy, which would cost less and could be administered in the form of a single pill! My research resulted in just such a compact, inexpensive, low-dose therapy with bioidentical hormones: it is produced in a few variants that are suitable for most patients. To put it another way, anti-aging in a box! I came up with the name Instant Chi for this therapy!

Instant Chi is taken in the form of a capsule a day, generally in the morning. Instant Chi contains bioidentical hormones in perfect balance, and when taken regularly it regenerates and strengthens the body! Obviously the regenerative action of Instant Chi is neither as intensive nor as all-encompassing as an individualized Hormonal Regeneration, but it does work so well that anybody can notice the difference in themselves in terms of resiliency, stress tolerance, and good health after taking it for just a few weeks! Furthermore, the success with Instant Chi motivates many of my patients to take the next step and invest more in a complete Hormonal Regeneration rest cure!

In the meantime, Instant Chi provides these patients with relief from “burnout” – namely the consequences of chronic overtaxation of the endocrine glands from stress and an unnatural lifestyle! Many patients delight in telling me how much more radiant and vital they look after taking Instant Chi even for just a short while!

Enough talk – I invite you to try Instant Chi for a few weeks and see for yourself! You too will be convinced after you try it!

Current investigations suggest that the joints of overweight people are not just damaged by excessive kilos. According to the studies, wear on the joint cartilage in hip and knee joints is also furthered by the hormones secreted by the fat tissue – leptin and resistin play a particular role here.

The high frequency of joint damage in overweight people does in fact have several causes. In addition to the mechanical strain, the leptin produced in the fat tissue probably triggers inflammatory reactions in the joints which damage the joint cartilage.

To prevent joint damage, the inflammatory effect of leptin can be reduced through medication. This type of medication is still being developed at present. However, removal of the cause of the increased production of leptin is just as effective: the overweight.

New Cosmetic Surgery is already giving doctors effective tools for this: firstly gentle liposuction with cannulas in the problem zones to remove superfluous fat. Following this, bio-identical hormones against the causes of overweight, usually hormonal imbalance. Combined with an individual training and nutrition plan, the ideal weight can be achieved in this way with medical support. This naturally requires a certain amount of self discipline on the part of the patient – but even a “silver bullet” has to be fired in order to reach its goal.

The positive effect of proper eating, brain jogging and fasting is undisputed and should be adhered to for a lifetime in one individual form or another!

The decisive factor for remaining fit, productive and youthful up to a ripe old age is that all the body’s hormone glands produce the right amounts of hormones. However, producing hormones requires a lot of energy on the part of the hormone glands, which is why the body often begins to “save” on hormone production from the age of 30. When and how fast this “saving” sets in depends above all on genetic material and the life situation (exercise, nutrition, stress etc.). You can tell from a person’s face and body whether they are already “saving” hormones or whether their hormone glands are still able to produce enough. People who look considerably younger than they are also always have hormone levels corresponding to a much younger age.

The best anti-aging treatment therefore begins with a comprehensive analysis of all important hormones, the establishment of hormone deficiencies and a subsequent therapy with bio-identical hormones that are as natural as possible. In this, the balance of all hormones must be taken into particular consideration – everything, even losing weight, is easier when there is hormonal balance.
