Whether you’re a young adult or someone getting on in years, Dr. Mickey Barber, says the choice is ours to take the steps necessary to prevent age-related illnesses, while maintaining energy, health, and sexual vigor. To do so, we can focus on several elements, including nutrition, fitness, adequate sleep, and medical practitioners willing to listen and treat each of us as individuals.
Dr. Barber, the chief medical officer at Better Life Age Management and Wellness Center, also says that a regimen of bio-identical hormones—that is customized for each patient—is also a critical component of treatment. Unfortunately, she notes that such therapy is under attack by a flawed and biased study by the FDA that could deny millions of Americans access to these life-changing therapies.
To help protect this proven treatment, Dr. Barber says she is lobbying her elected representatives and asks that others do the same. She suggests two websites that make the process easy: compounding.com and wethewomen.us.
“If this goes through,” she says of the faulty FDA study, “we may not have access to any form of compounded, bio-identical hormones.”
