Initially, they usually tell me, they put up with it for their mate’s sake. They do not want their partners to think that it was anything that their partners are doing. But eventually, they started avoiding intimacy, or coming up with excuses to not have it.  They tell their mates the truth and tried various positions, but eventually they get turned off at always being hurting their partners.  And they do not enjoy intimacy any more. Such patients are desperate.

Back pain is a very big issue for women when it comes to intimacy. Many women with hormonal imbalances complain of generalized pains, at least  80 percent of them. When a woman lays down, the constant movement and tension during love making is very painful and she cannot perform. A woman who is post-menopausal or has had an accident with back pain as a symptom, can put her totally out of business and make her partner crazy.

Another reason for pain during intimacy is vaginal dryness.  With age a woman’s estrogen level goes down, making her vagina dry.  This is  very uncomfortable for both the man and the woman.

Sometimes endometriosis (a condition in which the tissue that behaves like the cells lining the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and possible infertility.) can cause severe pain during intimacy.  The pain can be so severe, that it can ruin any relationship.

So, what is the solution?

• First of all, the hormones should be balanced, because it will truly reduce the pain and brings comfort.  For vaginal dryness estriol vaginal cream works very well.  Long foreplay is also important.

• Another approach is to reduce the inflammation in your spine or joints, which is what causes the pain. The easiest way to do it — lose weight.  Sometimes you cannot do it without hormone balancing.

• Position is important too.  Two positions are known to help women who have back  pain during sex:

1. Woman on top. The movements here are minimized and pressure on the back is relieved.
2. More ferarum (most commonly known as doggie style in America). This position takes all the pressure off the back and relieves back pain, as the woman is on  her hands and knees.

Now what about you?

• Do you have pain during intimacy?
• Is it vaginal dryness?
• Back or joint pain?

Back pain can ruin your sex life and a bad sex life can ruin a relationship. Put a stop to it now. Dr Kalitenko’s website at For more information, www.doctorkalitenko.com to make an appointment or call our offices at 718-382-9200.

You can hire a million of consultants, spend entire fortune and a lot of time trying to fix your business, but if your hormones are out of whack, you are heading for disaster. This couldn’t be more obvious if you look at menopausal women, who are either business owners or pros.

You might think, that your business is failing because of recession or wrong business decisions you make. Consider this: you may not be able to improve your business because you are suffering from hormonal imbalance.

On a recent TV show female business owner struggling with a failing business was highlighted. She had hired a top consultant to try and fix the business, but n! othing w as working. Employees hated her and she was rude to the customers. Consistently forgetting details, having her hair unkempt – she was a mess. Then, during the course of the show, we see her going through a hot flash. And it becomes obvious. This woman is menopausal and her hormones aren’t right.  She is forgetful as a result of menopausal memory impairments, rude to employees and customers because of the mood swings. Does she need a business consultant to fix such problems?  Or does she needs an anti aging doctor and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

If your hormone levels are not in balance, you can forger about doing great in business. This is a problem many women are dealing with every day. They work same place for decades, and then go through this major life change, which could rub customers, co-workers and employers in a wrong way long enough, so that it may eventually lead to job loss.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can give you back what you are missing. And this is not about vanity, this is about survival. You cannot compete in business while battling such symptoms.

Maybe it’s time to think about what gets you upset so easily and talk to your doctor about a cause. Consider us as such.

The outlook for 2010 is bleak. Homes will continue to be foreclosed, jobs will be lost, and less money will be flowing as compared to years past. Also inevitable: we will get another year older. Bad news, right?

Not really!

Though we may not be able to control the outside elements that affect our lives and the world around us, we can do something to make sure than in the survival of the fittest, we are, indeed, the fittest we can be.

To thrive this year, we need to be better than we have been. We need to make sure that we take care of our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.

We need to do something practical to help our situation:

1.    Eat better. The foods we eat not only give us essential vitamins, but help our bodies to function better, including vegetables, lean organic meats, and fish.

2.    Stress reduction: techniques like improving sleep and stress relief exercises can help you to be more alert, work more, and develop and keep better relationships

3.    Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy: working to replace the hormones we lose as we get older. It is necessary to make you competitive with younger and healthier like rival.

4.    Neurotransmitter balancing can help us to deal with our changes like depression, lack of  motivation, ability to concentrate, etc…

Parkinson’s is an awful, debilitating and deadly disease and while it was once believed that there may be no way to lower your risk, we now see that there can be a way to help you protect yourself from getting it.

A new study now says that women’s fertility can actually keep them from getting Parkinson’s Disease. The longer than span from first menstruation to menopause can now help in the fight against Parkinsons in women.

http://www.usnews.com/health/family-health/womens-health/articles/2009/02/25/hormones-may-help-shield-women-from-parkinsons.html

According to the study, though it has long been believed that women’s hormones have an effect on whether or not they develop Parkinsons, this study looked at 82,000 menopausal women.

So what does this mean practically?

There are several things that we can do to try and prevent Parkinson’s disease, and although, there is obviously no way to ensure that you do not get  the disease, leading a healthy lifestyle always helps in the prevention of not only Parkinson’s but many dieases.

1.    Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: since fertility can be linked to the prevention of the disease, replacing hormones lost with ones identical to your body makeup can help.

2.    Brain health, with things like vitamin B complex, fish oil, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyl serine, inositol, etc.

A new study shows that women who experience menopause before the age of 42 double their risk of having a stroke.But we have no control over whether or not we have a stroke, or early menopause, do we? http://www.usnews.com/health/family-health/heart/articles/2009/02/20/early-menopause-doubles-stroke-risk.html

Well, we can never do anything to guarantee that we don’t have either, but did you know that there are preventative measures you can take to make yourself as healthy as possible, and lowering your risk?

a stroke, and menopause themselves are both at least partially preventable because most likely the higher the risk for stroke is related to low estrogen levels.

The study also mentions that the lower levels of estrogen can possibly be one of the reasons that contribute to the higher risk of stroke.

So, practically, what can we do to try to make ourselves healthier and prevent a stroke?

There are several recommendations:

1.    Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, which can help you get back estrogen and other vital hormones that can be lost during early onset of menopause.

2.    Fish oil

3.    A caveman’s diet of lean organic meats, fish, green vegetables, and limited to no dairy or carbs

4.    decrease stress

5.    bring blood pressure down, with things like fruit and sea salt rather than regular salt

6.    check for mercury and cadmium levels in your body.

It’s become almost commonplace to say that we should be medicated.

“You’re crazy.”

“I’m Crazy.”

“We’re all nuts”

These statements are more severe than we think. We assume that there is something wrong with us and we look immediately to medication to fix it. Our doctors prescribe something to calm us down, lift us up, help us become normal again.

But what they don’t truly do, is look into the cause of our problems. Even a diagnosis of depression or anxiety can have an underlying physical cause that no one even gets to the bottom of.

You see, not everyone who is crazy, is really crazy.

Two reasons can be hormonal imbalance, or what we eat.

Hormonal imbalance, such as that which occurs during menopause, can cause us to feel so many emotions, running the gamut from happy to sad, hurt to upset. But it is possible to feel normal again, to control your emotions and stabilize them so we feel more in control of ourselves.

One possible method, and a very successful one at that, is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which helps us get back what we are missing, and what we lose with age. This treatment can make you feel younger, more in control and more positive in your life.

The other cause can be in your gut. Serotonin which is responsible for your mood, is produced in your gut. It is what controls mood, sleep and more. And it is what can make the difference between being “crazy” or not. The key here is to take care of your gut. Make sure that it is functioning properly.

Make sure you are moving your bowels regularly, turn to a more natural diet of meat, fruits and vegetables. Skip the carbs, wheat and dairy, they may not be good for you. It is called the caveman diet. If the caveman didn’t eat it, there is no reason that you should.

Take care of your body physically and you will see results as to what it can do for you mentally. This is not always a cure, but to be healthy throughout can never be harmful.

There is a very big difference between the wintertime blues and seasonal depression. But the treatments may be more similar than you would guess. Without drugs, without any drastic treatment, sometimes it is possible to to get better.  Of course anything you do for your health or consider to do should be approved or recommended by your doctor.

The key word here is natural. Getting back to nature and giving the body what it is asking for. Here are some simple tips.

There are several reasons for your seasonal depression: lack of light, too much stress, not enough sleep and eating the wrong foods. If you alter these four aspects of your life, you will see the symptoms of depression begin to improve.

For example, it gets darker earlier and this becomes an issue for people who get up when it’s still dark, work all day in an office, and go home in darkness. Artificial light just doesn’t cut it. Take the time out, even if only a little, to take a walk during lunch. If you don’t have time during lunch, make time. It will also reduce your stress to get away from your environment and get some fresh air.

Stress reduction is the second key. Try to limit your stress, try to take time to enjoy yourself, and offer yourself time to relax.  Do not forget about meditations.

Sleep is a huge factor. We normally don’t get enough sleep and that seriously affects how we function. I cannot stress this enough: GO TO SLEEP EARLY. An old proverb says “an hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after midnight.”

Finally, the way we eat can determine whether or not we suffer from depression. If you don’t eat properly, your serotonin level may be low. Pills like Prozac bring tits level up chemically. But serotonin is produced in the gut and if the gut works perfectly, your levels will be normal. In order to achieve this, you may have to give up alcohol, give up dairy, and give up caffeine as well as wheat and other gluten containing foods. Before making any health decision consult your doctor.

Depression can also be caused by hormone deficiencies, so if you feel symptoms, see your doctor.  We also specialize in the treatment of hormonal deficiencies with depression.

If you told me that sex improves my longevity I would go out and try to sleep with everyone.

Sex does make you healthier but not in the ways you may think. It has been shown that sex decreases the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease and there is some information that men who have sex three or more times a week are less likely to have a heart attack. For women it increases the hormones and betters the mood.

In my opinion it is not the mechanics of sex that make you healthier but the emotional connection to the act that can give you the health benefits.

If you are in a good relationship it helps you much more than the sex. When you sleep beside one your biorhythms are in unison. If you want to improve your health and have a partner, you cannot do it alone. We all know that in many situations. If you want to lose weight, eat healthy, fix you lifestyle, we know that you have to sign your family up as well.

In the end, its not about the act, its about the relationship.

Did you know that there is a relationship between sex hormones and colon cancer? I didn’t either, until recently.

Now we know that sex hormone replacement therapy can reduce colon cancer risk, besides spicing up your life!

According to a study published in the January issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention titled “Menopausal Hormone Therapy and risk of Colorectal cancer” http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/18/1/196, there is a significant reduction in the rates of colon cancer in women who were on hormone replacement therapy. However the authors did not even suggest any explanation of this finding.  And what might be the connection between gut and sex hormones?

Very straightforward: when your body can produce babies and hence is full of sex hormones, it is protecting itself from death, including cancers.  But when its not fertile any more, it thinks that it is time to die. Therefore, it decreases its natural defense including anticancer defense.

Looks like this study gives us a cancer prevention tip: keep your hormones balanced and you will get extra cancer protection.

Estrogen in women and testosterone in men are necessary for memory. At work, especially in this economic downturn, you need to be as competitive as possible, especially when your expertise can easily be replaced by a recent graduate willing to work for less money.

How can one be compete with younger people looking to steal your job, especially if your memory is out of order and beginning to decline? The answer is simple. It’s impossible.

There is a way to fight back with bioidentical hormone replacement.

Many women are suffering from tender and swollen breasts right before their period. Usually, it is one of the many symptoms, that include bloating, fatigue, even moodiness in some.

A low progesterone level can be the cause of this tenderness. Replacement with progesterone, not progestine, may help.

Nobody argues that breasts are a very important part of a woman’s body. Therefore, maintaining their proper shape and consistency is crucial. The main hormone responsible for their texture as well as volume is estrogen.

If a woman has enough estrogen, she can generate breast tissue to maintain its shape and density. However it is not always the case.

Estrogen deficiency is probably the most important cause of breast shape, volume and consistency problems. If there is no enough estrogen from the beginning, breasts are small after periods are started. If estrogen deficiency develops at menopausal age, it results in droopy breasts.

What can be done? The first thing that comes to my mind is to replace missing estrogen with hormone replacement therapy. Of course I’m talking about hormones with the same molecular structure as our own for the safety reasons. Surgery is another option, but would you like to subject yourself to surgery risks? I think that hormone replacement should be tried first. Surgery should be the last resort.

Adrenal fatigue may be the reason why it is so difficult to get our energy back in the morning.

Adrenal fatigue is caused when the adrenal glands are exhausted and unable to produce the right amount of hormones.

Checking your cortisol level is very helpful. Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone.  Cortisol levels will determine your response to stress and anxiety.

Everybody who experiences morning fatigue should have their hormone levels checked because, in our stressful lives, adrenals can be exhausted easily.

Going to major surgery is not a pleasant thing at all, especially if it is because of a dangerous health condition. Like going for hysterectomy ( uterus removal ), which is the second in the United States GYN surgical procedures done after C section. But can we avoid it at least in some cases..

If you do not know how to do it, then may be we should learn what European women are doing about it, because the hysterectomy rate in Europe is much lower, then in he US ( except Finland ). How did it happen? May be european women have uterus, different from the US women’s? I doubt it. So what may be the reason, that their uteruses are healthier?

One of the most common reasons of uterine problems are uterine fibroids, linked to estrogen dominance. This happens when women start loosing their progesterone which is the first hormone to loose, creating the increase of estrogen to progesterone ratio. As all of us know, bioidentical hormone replacement is much more popular in Europe, then in the US. This may explain why you are at increased risk for loosing your uterus, if you live in the US. But is you want to get your health back, may be you should consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

In today’s economic times, many people are finding that retiring at the age of 65 is almost impossible. And some of us, just don’t want to. But, in a time where kids are coming out of college, willing to do twice as much work for half the pay, baby boomers are finding themselves unable to keep up.

After the age of 25, your body begins a downward spiral, and with age your memory levels, your muscles, and your energy deteriorate.

Bioidentical hormone replacement can improve all of these symptoms, and keep you making the money that you need, and doing the job you love. You can look and feel ten years younger with easy treatments.

The recent debates on Bioidentical versus traditional HRT treatments did not reveal how you benefit from anti aging medicine.

Should you take bioidentical hormones, traditional drugs, or nothing?

Most of the debates did not give you the answer despite that proponents of both sides presented their arguments. Because bioidentical hormones are not the main issue. The real problem of traditional medicine is that it treats symptoms instead of eradicating the cause.

Here’s an example. A patient came to me who has had abdominal pain for years due to colitis, inflammation of the colon. We treated her with a simple change in her diet and after only a few days (!) her pain was gone without the medication. The reason for her colitis was only that she was eating the wrong foods. We were able to eradicate the cause and save her a lifetime of medication and treatment.

This is functional medicine. Bioidentical doctors who practice anti-aging therapies are where you need to look because besides the bioidentical hormones they want you to be healthy and feel younger.

Sure, consumers need to cut down on spending. Every news station has special segments on where we can cut spending, where we can crunch numbers again, and how to save. But right now, consumers are still spending on beauty treatments like Botox, Restylane, and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Are we really so vain as a society that we would take the food from our family’s table just to look good. The answer is yes, and with good reason.

Right now, with layoffs and cuts in business spending, companies are looking to get the most out of the employees they have. They want young people, who can get paid less and have the energy to do more. It’s terrible to think your 30 years of experience as a bookkeeper may hang in the balance of the wrinkles on your forehead, but there’s an eager college graduate at the door willing to work longer hours for half the pay.

This is the time when people realize they have to break out the big guns and compete for their jobs. The way you look may make or break your job.

A comprehensive analysis of medical studies and literature, performed by Holtorf Medical group in California and published in January 2009 in Postgraduate Medicine has just announced that bioidentical hormones are safer than traditional HRT. The study showed that bioidentical hormones are associated with lower risks, including the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and are more effective than their synthetic and animal-derived counterparts. Until evidence is found to the contrary, bioidentical hormones remain the preferred method of HRT. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to delineate these differences more clearly. (full article available at http://www.postgradmed.com)

But what do we do if we do not have long-term studies so far?

Dr. Speroff, the founder and former director of the Women’s Health Research Unit at Oregon Health and Science University, says “I always tell clinicians, that until we have definite randomized trial data — which we may never have — whatever the patient wants to do is the correct decision”.

One of the most respected GYN doctors in the country, he is a sub-specialist in reproductive endocrinology and has done extensive work on clinical trials.

Recent studies have shown that men who have s.e.x 3 or more times a week have less incidence of heart attacks then those who do not. Another study discovered that having s.e.x twice weekly reduces men’s chances of getting prostate cancer. 

Testosterone increase during sexual activity has been been found to be the reason for these  beneficial effects.  Of course the benefits of sex are not exclusive to men alone. Studies have shown that in women s.e.x also increases estrogen level which improves vaginal moisture, energy level, mood etc.

So s.e.x is not only enjoyable but it’s good for your health.  It’s great news, but it begs the question: how often should we have s.e.x? To be considered to be having s.e.x often, you would need to be having s.e.x at least 3 times a week according to many of these studies. So probably to be life saving, you should be having s.e.x at least 2-3 times a week.  It may not seem like much, but considering how busy modern life can be, how can we have a healthy amount of s.e.x?

I would love for you to share your opinions, suggestions and stories about how you  manage to fit romance and s.e.x into your stressful and busy life.

Sure, they have money, they have trainers, they have surgery, but how is that you can look at a star you grew up with, and yet you look older than they do? Besides being rich and having every luxury at your fingertips, you may have to opt for a more feasible option. Don’t worry, the stars do it, too.

There are many ways to stay young. You can work out, diet, go through mesotherapy, use Botox, etc., but all those are not powerful enough to bring you from your 60s back to your 30s. I have never seen anybody get back his or her youth by dieting, exercising, or getting Botox injections.

These methods are good to delay aging, good for health, and great for life and vitality, but they are useless in reversing aging. If you really want your youth back, try bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

There is no doubt that stars would do anything to stay young, because they need to keep their jobs. No doubt also that stars use the best treatments money could buy. So what do they do to stay young?

Stars “secrets” to staying young are published regularly. For example In Touch magazine, Jan 5, 2009 published an article “These Stars Don’t Age” where it “reveals” stars secrets like dieting, sex, workouts, drinking plenty of water, etc. But who are these stars? They talked about Jennifer Aniston who’s 40, Demi Moore, 46, Nicole Kidman, 41, Heidi Klum, 35, and others. The eldest example they used was Sharon Stone, 51.  And they really look the same now as they did then. But what do they have in common? They are all premenopausal. It means, that their hormones are most likely OK. The only postmenopausal star I know, who manages to look young still, is Susan Somers.

So what is her secret?

Bioidentical hormone replacement, because the only way to get back lost hormones is to replace them with the same hormones you had when you were young.  Think about it: workouts can’t be a substitute for lost estrogen? Diet and water can’t compensate for lost testosterone.  If you want your youth back, take it back with bioidentical hormones.

There are several benefits to bioidentical hormone replacement:

1.  Looking and feeling at least 10 years younger.

2.  Having more sex.

3.  Getting relief from hot flashes and insomnia.

4.  Improving your energy level.

5.  Being able to compete with younger individuals in personal and professional life.

However, not many business people are paying attention to what should be done to maintain optimum health. The main reason – “ they’re too busy”. It’s because not that many people realize that being healthy affects their performance a lot. The most common example – stress. Can you do business and not be under stress? Impossible! But do you know how stress affects your performance?

When you see a child in front of your fast moving car, you don’t think how beautiful the child is, or how old he is, or who are his parents, right? You just press the brakes! Why? Because you are under stress. At this time you don’t need your cortex with its high intellectual ability, you just need a simple reflex, to press the brakes. Therefore so that you can do this, your body while under stress, shuts down your cortex. The same thing happens when you’re under stress while doing your business – your body shuts down your intellectual ability! Therefore you are not able to make the best business decisions.

The second very important cause: hormone levels decline. Do you know, that after age 25 your hormone levels start declining? Remember, that in men testosterone is responsible for aggressiveness, in women it is estrogen, which influences business performance. They checked saliva testosterone levels in stockbrokers, and they found out, that the testosterone levels were directly corresponding to the amount of money earned that day.

The third cause: lack of essential nutrients because of Standard American Diet (SAD). The list of vitamins and minerals we’re likely to be deficient in, is long.

The fourth cause is this – toxins including, but not limited to, heavy metals (mercury in your tooth fillings, arsenic etc. ), plastics, pesticides, etc.

How to deal with this situation:

1.    Employ stress reduction techniques, including yoga, meditation, love, appreciation, relaxation, sleep hygiene, etc.

2.    Check your hormone levels and correct them if necessary.

3.    Eat the right food, which is the preferred method for replenishing your body with missing nutrients.

4.    Stay away from toxins and do practice detoxification, if necessary.
