:: The RenAMI Program ::
Hormones | Exercise | Nutrition | Nutri-Pharmaceuticals

Based on scientific evidence, the only TRUE way to optimize a client’s hormones is through the clinical control and modulation of each individual patient. This requires the careful balance of several related hormonal groups. Each group has its own specific method of modulation, yet when combined together they produce a synergistic effect that scientific evidence has proven yields maximum benefits. The RenAMI Program is dedicated to finding the perfect hormonal match for each client, using every scientifically viable method available to achieve maximum effectiveness. Please note that these aspects of our therapy program may, or may not, apply to your own unique hormone levels. If you are not deficient in a particular hormone, we will leave it at it's natural level.

HgH
The Human Growth Hormone has been claimed by various groups as the Holy Grail of the Anti-Aging community, specifically in the internet world. While we acknowledge that HgH is an important part of hormone therapy, the only scientifically proven method to raise HgH levels is through sub-cutaneous injection, despite the myriad claims that state otherwise. The vast majority of HgH materials on the common market have absolutely no scientific data proving their effectiveness to any significant level. Secretagogues, pills, capsules, sprays (throat, nasal, sub-lingual and other wise), creams… just about everything you can purchase from the majority of purported “HgH Suppliers” will produce no recognizable effect. To reiterate, the ONLY scientifically proven method of increasing HgH levels is through the sub-cutaneous injection of physician prescribed FDA approved HgH, the only method employed by the RenAMI Program.

Furthermore, the use of HGH for anti-aging purposes or body building has been specifically prohibited by the Food & Drug Administration department of the government. At RenAMI, we only prescribe HGH therapy to patients that have medically proven their deficiency via a growth stimulation test, which we administer at our office when you come in for your initial physical examination and consultation. The only caveat to this rule is for patient's suffering AIDS related caxcheia, which have considerably loosened regulations.

Human Growth Hormone is an incredibly expensive medication, but our staff will work with you to find the cheapest FDA Approved source possible, assuming that you have proven medical necessity for it's use. For patients with decent PPO insurance, it is possible that your insurance company may cover some or all of the cost of this medication, but coverage entails a detailed clinical review that will significantly delay your ability to start therapy.

Testosterone
Testosterone levels have various different approaches to a scientific balance. Depending on the severity of your Testosterone Deficiency, our physicians may prescribe an intra-muscular injection or a daily topical creme. For patient's shy of needles but with such severely deficient levels as to require an injection, we will soon be offering the ability to schedule an appointment at our office for administration of your testosterone injection.

As a rule, we avoid oral preparations for Testosterone unless they are sub-lingual in nature (such as a sub-lingual troche), as they have been proven to cause liver damage.

Gonadotropins
As part of our synergistic approach, supplemented Testosterone levels must be balanced with the body's natural production of Testosterone. The practice of Testosterone Therapy without regulation and control of a patient's natural Testosterone levels will eventually lead to testicular atrophy, where a male's gonads literally shrivel up from lack of use. To maintain an optimized production level of Testosterone, we utilize Gonadotropins to stimulate natural testicular function. These medications, available in both oral and sub-cutaneous injection form, consist of a molecule that’s alpha sub unit is identical to the hormone's naturally produced in males to stimulate testosterone function. In effect, this prompts the patient’s body to produce its own testosterone, thereby eliminating the negative side effects of supplemental Testosterone Therapy.

DHEA - Dihyrdoepiandrosterone
The next primary stage of the RAMI Program utilizes the modulation of the DHEA hormone. Optimal levels of DHEA have been scientifically linked to increased immune function and elevated mood. For female patients, DHEA also produces a modest escalation of Testosterone. For the RAMI Program, DHEA modulation is as simple as taking a pill every day.

Estrogen & Dihydro Testosterone
A percentage of our patient population experiences a con-current rise of sub-hormones when engaging in Testosterone Therapy, such as Estrogen and Dihydro Testosterone (DHT). These elevations can cause several adverse side effects, including water retention, prostate enlargement, thinning hair, and even gynecomastia. All of these issues can be controlled and reversed through the use of specific medications that counter-act the individual hormone's activity, and are one of the primary reasons that a patient should always consider medical supervision when engaging in hormone therapy.
