Medical Rejuvenation and Weight Loss

Medical Rejuvenation

Falling hormone levels associated with increasing age produce many of the disturbing symptoms, diseases and degenerative conditions associated with the aging process. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance may appear in the third decade of life and can include PMS, infertility, hair loss, sleep problems, mood and anxiety problems, memory difficulties, loss of libido, low energy, skin changes, breast tenderness, irregular bleeding and vaginal dryness (in women) and erectile dysfunction (in men). But more importantly, if left untreated, hormonal imbalance can increase risk for certain diseases such as breast and uterine cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes.

Dr. Pearlman’s integrative programs are individually customized for her patients to restore more youthful body chemistry and hormone balance, optimize lifestyle, and prevent age related disease and health problems. Dr. Pearlman takes the time to listen to her patients and sets them on a path toward optimal health by integrating bioidentical hormonal, nutritional, and conventional medical therapies.

The Pearl^MD BALANCE program involves hormonal optimization using bioidentical hormones that are identical to the body’s natural chemistry and bind to the body’s hormone receptors with an identical lock and key fit. Restoring hormone balance is an important step toward achieving optimal health, yet it is but one piece in the puzzle.

The Pearl^MD VITALITY program extends beyond hormone imbalance to provide a global lifestyle plan customized for each patient. Dr. Pearlman and her team work to develop an individualized treatment program to address the many lifestyle factors that contribute to symptoms and diseases including insulin resistance (diabetes) and breast cancer. Body composition analysis, detailed nutritional analysis and diagnostic testing are just a few of the tools used to develop an individualized program designed to reduce risk and enable you to live longer…better!

Aging is a process that can be actively managed. While we are undeniably going to get older, we can choose to do so proactively.

The Pearl^MD PROTECT program helps peri-menopausal women evaluate and reduce their risk of certain diseases including breast cancer. The program utilizes a sophisticated multi-step approach to evaluate hormone balance, estrogen metabolism, and lifestyle factors with the goal of creating an individualized risk reduction program.

Dr. Pearlman believes it is time to shift the focus from the detection of breast cancer to its prevention and welcomes the opportunity to discuss how these recommendations can be used to empower you and protect you.

Medical Weight Loss

The progressive weight gain that is associated with increased age occurs due to loss of hormones, nutrients, restorative sleep and insulin sensitivity and an increase in cortisol (the stress hormone). Hormone changes are directly linked with the expanding middle-aged midline including changing levels of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid hormone.

Dr. Pearlman’s comprehensive weight loss program combats mid-life weight gain by optimizing hormone, neurotransmitter, and nutritional factors with a customized dietary and fitness plan. This strategy is scientifically proven and designed just for you.

Weight loss is simple but not easy. Dr. Pearlman’s approach helps to eliminate some of the stress by making weight management more easily attainable and sustainable.
