With Father’s Day right around the corner and June being Men’s Health Month, there’s no better time to focus on the men in our lives. Just a reminder to every man out there that taking care of your health is not only smart, it’s necessary. Too often, men put their well-being on the back burner, powering through fatigue, low energy, weight gain, or emotional burnout thinking it’s “just part of getting older.” It’s not. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and weight loss injections aren’t just for women. Men face hormone imbalances too, often resulting in stubborn weight gain, low testosterone, poor sleep, mood shifts, and reduced drive. The good news? These issues are treatable and you don’t have to deal with them alone. We’re here to break the stigma. Men deserve to feel strong, energized, and confident at every age. If you’re feeling off, or struggling with symptoms that won’t go away, it […]

For men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone decline, whether due to aging, medical conditions, or other factors, BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) offers a natural, effective solution. What Is BioTE? BioTE® is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses tiny pellets inserted under the skin to deliver consistent, customized hormone levels over time.

Many patients have asked why I dismissed testosterone replacement for my patients during the last quarter century of my career but now offer it in our clinic at Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids. My answer is that I had a Galileo moment. Galileo studied astronomy among other sciences around 1600 and had been taught that the earth was the center of the solar system. His observations of the planets did not support traditional theory, and he was one of the astronomers of the era that gave us our current understanding of planetary movement with the sun at the center of the solar system. Over the past couple years, about a dozen of my patients admitted to going to testosterone replacement clinics that are offered elsewhere in town, claiming that they felt like they were back in their 20s. The current FDA position which was taught when I was in medical school at […]
