I’d give a compliment to someone who needed it. I’d sit next to the kid eating lunch by himself. Maybe it was their reactions, perhaps their smiles, but it gave me a good feeling to help someone - to “make someone feel good.” Guess what I tell my boys before they leave for school every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1612019686470-4N8H11XY8YOFQYHAY0NS/image-asset.jpeg My Journey - My journey continued on those achy jointed family mission trips we took to Mexico every summer. My mother was a Spanish teacher when I was a child. She loved the language, the culture, and the people of Mexico. So instead of the typical yearly family vacations, we’d go on mission trips to Mexico during our summer breaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1612020373648-J7ML3LSLP8840B17D6KD/image-asset.jpeg My Journey - It was on those mission trips that she taught me there's no greater act of human kindness than to give oneself in serving others. I learned that kindness and empathy are likely two of the most important traits a person needs in order to have happiness and give happiness in this crazy life. I think my patients appreciate me not because I immediately have ALL the answers. Sometimes I don’t - medicine is a complex and ever moving thing. But my patients know I have a passion for finding those answers for them, and I won't stop until we find them together. Thoroughness, attention to detail, listening to my patients, and striving to truly understand what they're telling me is what I pride myself on. I treat my patients the way I'd like to be treated - like family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1612028322214-MJ6WT4MXRJZCPD1F6XNG/image-asset.jpeg My Journey Photo by Chinnapong/iStock / Getty Images https://palmettohormonewellness.com/our-team daily 0.75 2021-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1611938182042-JZVJQM8P3R97HTP6Z7KK/IMG_1459.jpg Our Team - Dr. Caisson Hogue Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

This causes a reduction in muscle mass, strength, and bone density. Mobility problems soon follow with an increased risk of falls. When testosterone levels are returned to a more youthful level, neurotransmitters increase, encouraging tissue growth when we exercise. Testosterone also interacts with nuclear receptors in DNA, which causes protein synthesis making our muscles stronger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1611955516216-UOAHLY6I2LN2L77301VD/image-asset.jpeg A New You Low Sex Drive. Painful Intercourse What if you could reignite that passion you once had? Maybe passion is a little simpler than we all thought. It could be as simple as a little chemical called testosterone. As men and women age, our body’s testosterone drops to a suboptimal level. This can cause low sex drive, lack of passion, painful intercourse, fatigue, muscle loss, and bone density loss. Together we can help formulate a treatment regimen that will bring your testosterone back up to a more youthful level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1611956343879-3OFMLXJC2YJM7I0LTD73/image-asset.jpeg A New You Hot Flashes It all begins with estrogen.

Bringing your progesterone to an optimal level can ease symptoms of anxiety, increasing your ability to handle the stresses of life. Many patients report a reduction in insomnia, better memory, better recall, reduction in the symptoms of PMS, hot flash reduction, and help with weight loss. Progesterone also promotes bone growth, lowering the chances of osteopenia and osteoporosis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1612016880611-9FDCU4C9MP3DZ43FC7UF/image-asset.jpeg A New You - Mental Clarity If you’re having difficulty with word recall, memory loss, loss of mental clarity, and/or lack of concentration then you’re experiencing the dreaded brain fog. This can happen when estrogen drops. In today’s fast-paced world mental clarity is crucial in surviving your grind at work and at home. While there can be multiple causes of brain fog, studies show that estrogen therapy can be a powerful solution. Estrogen promotes cognitive function, including the promotion of neuroplasticity, which is crucial for healthy brain function. Estrogen levels decline with age, but what if we reversed that process? What if you had the estrogen level of a twenty year old again? Perhaps you’re launching a new business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, you’re going to need the mental clarity to do it. We can help. https://palmettohormonewellness.com/location daily 0.75 2021-01-31 https://palmettohormonewellness.com/book-an-appt daily 0.75 2021-01-30 https://palmettohormonewellness.com/primary-care daily 0.75 2021-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6014144ee2092034c1bf499b/1612025889473-6PP2T9JGPGADDRND8PRT/PPCP.jpg Primary Care - Palmetto Primary Care has been serving the Lowcountry for over 30 years.
