“The BIG change” or call it what you will, it is an unavoidable fact that all women go through menopause. However, for many women this natural process is a time of anxiety and distress due to the various symptoms that can accompany it.

Menopause refers to that time in every woman’s life when her period’s stop and her ovaries lose their reproductive function. Usually, this occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is influenced by hormones – or more correctly, by a change in hormone levels.

As women get older, less estrogen is produced, causing the body to behave differently. However the body does not stop producing estrogen overnight, and the process can even take several years, during which symptoms arise gradually. At around the age of 50-55 years, the monthly cycle stops completely – so no more ovulations, no more periods and no more pregnancies. This is menopause.

However, the diminishing release of estrogen from the ovary as women advance into there 40’s is often the cause of symptoms, which can be distressing and may need medical attention.

Hot flashes are the most common symptom of the menopause, occurring in three out of four menopausal women. Other common symptoms include night sweats, sleeplessness, vaginal dryness, low mood and a reduced interest in sex. Symptoms vary hugely in duration, severity and what impact they have between women.

At Paukman BioAge Clinic we treat these symptoms with customized Bio-Identical Hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Dr. Paukman will first run a series of test to see what hormones need to stabilized in order to treat your symptoms caused by hormone imbalances. BHRT is a “natural” form of hormone therapy and there are many different ways to administer the hormones, but they act the same way as the hormones produced by the body. By doing this there is virtually no side effects that are associated with traditional hormone therapies. It is the most effective and widely used treatment for menopausal symptoms.

IV therapy is an amazing way to get a high dose of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream. The nutrients are infused directly into the bloodstream; enabling healthcare professionals to quickly replace what vitamins and mineral your body is lacking. If your one of thousands of Americans who take vitamins religiously everyday you probably believe that you are not vitamin deficient, right?

When taking your vitamins orally, your body is only able to absorb a certain amount, and there is a high incidence of gastrointestinal distress that typically follows high doses of ingested vitamins. Using IV vitamin therapy allows for easily customizable ingredients and dosages based on one’s symptom and/or desired outcomes.This corrects underlying deficiencies, especially those resulting from medical conditions and poor diet/ lifestyle choices.

Many people notice superior immunity, increased energy and enhanced detoxification from the improvement in cellular health.  When cellular health is supported, the body is able to effectively utilize the nutrients supporting the major bodily systems.

IV nutrient therapy also provides higher therapeutic doses, when compared to oral supplementation.  This method of administration can be life changing for patients with digestive issues or malabsorption, such as in Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IV nutrient therapy is a successful form of treatment for a wide array of health conditions; especially those associated with inflammation, poor immunity, leaky gut or food sensitivities.

At Paukman BioAge Clinic we offer customized IV formulations to treat a wide array of health conditions including:

• Anti-aging

Antioxidants have become a need-to-know 21st century buzz term because of their remarkable health-promoting powers. They nurture, protect, revitalize, and rejuvenate all of your body’s one hundred trillion cells.

Best of all, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to load-up on these wonder nutrients every day of your life. Thanks to Mother Nature, antioxidants are abundant in many natural foods, particularly fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, when they are consumed on a regular basis as part of a healthy diet, they’re reputed to have incredible anti-aging benefits. Some health experts claim they can — in some instances — even reverse the aging process. At the very least, their anti-aging powers will help keep your skin taut and well-supported by strong underlying muscle tone.

The diversity of vitamins and minerals in antioxidants are also immune system boosters. They fortify your body’s first line of defense against viral and bacterial illnesses, as well as a wide range of degenerative diseases and other ailments. Not only are they effective in a preventative capacity, but also can aid your recovery from whatever ails you, including injuries.

These fountain-of-youth natural food ingredients also combat invisible inflammation inside your body, which is a very common pro-aging condition. Antioxidants accomplish this by helping to cleanse your insides of harmful internal irritants known as ‘free radicals’. And this is a bigger deal than you may think because these instigators of cellular-level inflammation can lead to the onset of numerous age-related degenerative diseases. 

Moreover, we’re under constant assault from free radicals, which can easily multiply in your body in response to external factors.

For instance, your exposure to any of the following stimuli can act as a promoter for an abundance of free radicals inside you:

• Pollutants in the air
• Cigarette smoke
• Chemically-tainted drinking water
• Pesticide and herbicide residues in our food
• Toxic industrial chemicals
• Low-level radiation exposure
• Excessive alcohol
• Deep-fried foods
• Trans fats
• The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light rays

Unfortunately, free radicals are unavoidable, even if you live in a tropical paradise far away from civilization. That’s because your body is programmed to produce small amounts of free radicals on a daily basis, regardless of how healthy you are. Simply stated, they’re merely generated as a natural by-product of your body’s use of oxygen to generate energy.

So even if antioxidants are not exactly the “fountain of youth” with all of the health benefits behind them, why wouldn’t you want to add more of them into your diet?
