October brings a natural shift, cooler air, shorter days, and the vibrant colors of fall all remind us that change is part of life. Just as the seasons transition, our bodies go through changes too, and for many adults, those changes can be linked to hormones. Hormones play a vital role in how we feel every day, from energy levels and sleep to mood, weight, and even mental clarity. When our hormone levels are out of balance, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, hot flashes, mood changes, trouble sleeping, or low libido. These are often signs that your body may benefit from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). At Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids, we take a personalized approach to HRT. Through testing and evaluation, we can identify where your levels may be off and create a plan that helps restore balance naturally and safely. The goal is not just to treat […]

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.
