BioDesign Wellness Center

When someone is trying to lose weight, it is natural for them to want to lose it as quickly as possible. In contrast, those who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 3 to 5 pounds per week) are more likely to be successful in keeping the fat off in the long run.

Healthy weight loss uses strategies that will help you long-term. A gradual and steady weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is usually healthy and is most successful at keeping the weight off.

Your first visit to BioDesign Wellness Center will consist of a discussion with your doctor about your medical and family history. Your physician will then discuss possible treatment options suitable to your goals and needs. The best way to provide patient care is by tailoring it to their individual needs.

At BioDesign Wellness Center, we offer a variety of treatment options depending on the severity and nature of your pain. Our clinic specializes in several minimally invasive pain treatment procedures, treating a range of illnesses, injuries, and conditions.

An acute injury causes intense, short-term pain that subsides quickly. Most acute pain goes away after three months but can develop chronic pain without proper treatment. If you suffer pain for more than three months, you need to seek treatment. Ignoring persistent pain can make it worse.

If you have any of these symptoms, then it is time to consult a doctor about your digestive issues: abdominal discomfort that keeps you from your usual activities, unusual or long-lasting belly pain, vomiting blood, bloody or black stools, heartburn that doesn’t resolve with medication, and diarrhea that doesn’t go away.

Aside from medications, diet and lifestyle changes help manage digestive issues. Digestive issues (such as diarrhea and vomiting) may indicate that you aren't getting enough nutrients to stay healthy. Lifestyle modifications may include quitting smoking, avoiding food that may cause gas, and decreasing consumption of sweeteners.

Your physician will collect a thorough medical history and conduct a physical exam to diagnose digestive issues accurately. In some cases, patients with digestive issues may need more extensive diagnostic evaluations, such as endoscopic procedures, lab tests, and x-rays.

When your digestive system is unhealthiest, your body has difficulty absorbing nutrients, storing fat, and regulating blood sugar. The cause of weight gain may be insulin resistance or a desire to overeat because of low nutrient absorption. In contrast, weight loss may be caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.

There are several symptoms of digestive issues, including bleeding, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. These digestive issues encompass a variety of diseases ranging from mild to severe.

A chronic pain condition lasts for months or years and is usually persistent. NSAIDs, acetaminophen, COX-2 inhibitors, antidepressants, antiseizure medicines, and opioids are some of the most common treatments for chronic pain. There are also non-opioid ways to manage chronic pain, such as cold and/or heat therapy, exercise, physical and occupational therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

Chronic pain refers to persistent pain that exceeds the usual recovery period or occurs in conjunction with a chronic health condition, such as arthritis. Chronic pain may occur intermittently or continuously. It might affect people to the point where they can't work, eat right, exercise, or enjoy life.

There really is no cure for chronic fatigue. A patient needs to be well-informed and receive assistance in adapting their activities to the level of functionality permitted by their illness. We follow a scientific approach with a multidisciplinary approach offered at BioDesign Wellness Center to provide the best treatment. Our chronic fatigue treatment plan includes supportive psychotherapy, a cognitive-behavioral approach adapted to the patient; progressive, personalized aerobic exercise plans; custom symptomatic drug therapy; and treatment of comorbidities.

Food may move too slowly through your digestive system if you are constipated. The colon has more time - too much time - to absorb the water from the waste. As a result, the stool becomes hard, dry, and hard to push out. Constipation treatment in Tampa, FL, can help you with your digestive issues to relieve yourself from constipation.

The most common cause of constipation is when waste or stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract or cannot be eliminated effectively from the rectum, which may cause the stool to become hard and dry. Drinking fluids every day is therefore crucial. Constipation treatment in Tampa, FL, determines how and why constipation occurs and restores health by addressing the root cause of constipation.

The symptoms are usually most severe in the first year or two. Symptoms typically stabilize, persist chronically, wax and wane, or improve over time. Chronic fatigue, however, can worsen in some people over time. That is why a personalized chronic fatigue treatment is essential, which is available at BioDesign Wellness Center in Tampa, FL.

Many people with chronic fatigue will improve over time, especially with chronic fatigue treatment available at BioDesign Wellness Center in Tampa, FL. Many people with chronic fatigue will need to adapt their daily routines and patterns of activities for an extended period. Symptoms may get better or worse at different times.

Generally, going more than three or more days without one is too long. Your stool becomes harder and harder to pass after three days. Constipation treatment in Tampa, FL, can help you with your digestive issues to relieve yourself from constipation.

Most people have trouble going to the bathroom from time to time. It's usually nothing to worry about if your bowel movements aren't as frequent as they used to be. But if it becomes too frequent, you should consult with your doctor. It’s important to rule out the underlying cause of your constipation. Often, constipation will go away on its own within a few days or get better after you use laxatives or another constipation treatment.

Research has shown that anti-inflammatory diets show promising results in treating and managing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. You should avoid grains, legumes, nightshades (such as eggplant and peppers), dairy, eggs, coffee, alcohol, sugar, oil, and all food additives when you are following the autoimmune protocol diet.

Results vary per individual. You will notice an improvement in your sleep and energy within a few weeks. It takes about three months to see full effects like reduced fat and increased muscle mass.

Peptide therapy can effectively treat several conditions since they mimic your own body's peptides, which elicit a particular desired response. As peptides are naturally occurring and have specific functions, they're well tolerated by your body and have minimal side effects.

If you want to get pregnant, you should mention it to your doctor so he can include it with the autoimmune disease treatment plan. Pregnancy can be adversely affected by some autoimmune diseases, and some can affect your ability to become pregnant. You may need fertility treatments to become pregnant. Alternatively, you might want to wait to conceive until your disease has gone into remission. If you have lupus, you have a higher risk of stillbirth or preterm birth. You may have difficulty breathing if you have myasthenia gravis.

The treatment of autoimmune diseases alleviates the symptoms of these diseases. The duration of the flare-up is determined by the severity of the natural stressor that is causing it. An acute flare-up of symptoms of an autoimmune disease may resolve on its own without medical intervention in some sufferers without treatment.

Women are four to ten times more likely to suffer from Hashimoto's disease. Despite its occurrence in teens and young women, the disease occurs more commonly in women aged 30 to 50. Having a family member with Hashimoto's disease also increases your chances of having it.

There is no cure for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but replacing hormones with medication can regulate hormone levels and restore your normal metabolism.

Peptide therapy is a unique treatment option that can be used to treat a variety of concerns. Some of the benefits of peptide therapy include lowered blood pressure, increased levels of energy and stamina, enhanced cognitive function and memory, and reduced signs of aging.

During peptide therapy at BioDesign Wellness Center, peptides are administered directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections, although they may also be applied topically, nasally, or orally. Peptide therapy can be entirely customized to fit the patient's specific goals and needs. This targeted approach by our doctors allows us to produce a specific response in the body and treat a variety of conditions.

Many medical problems can cause brain fog or other dementia-like symptoms. Stress, anxiety, or depression can cause forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and other problems that disrupt daily activities. Medications, hypothyroidism, and chronic alcoholism can also impair mental abilities. At BioDesign Wellness in Tampa, FL, we get to the root cause of your brain fog issues to create a tailor-fit brain fog treatment plan for you.

Supplemental vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients may be helpful if deficient levels of these nutrients cause brain fog. The following supplements help treat brain fog: vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, and omega-3.

"Brain fog" is not a medically recognized term, but it is a common condition that many people suffer from. Although many people experience it, brain fog is by no means typical. It can be avoided and treated. BioDesign Wellness in Tampa, FL, offers brain fog treatment to help with memory loss issues.

An autoimmune disorder's exact cause is unknown, and there is no single test that can diagnose it. The immune system is said to be confused by changes triggered by microorganisms (such as bacteria or viruses). People with genes that make them more susceptible to autoimmune disorders may experience this phenomenon more frequently. An autoimmune disease treatment plan makes use of medications that bring down inflammation and calm the overactive immune response.

Your autoimmune disease symptoms may change with time. They may go into remission, where you have minimal or no symptoms, or they could flare up, making the disease worse. Although autoimmune diseases cannot be cured, a great autoimmune disease treatment plan can help with the symptoms. Many people with autoimmune diseases can live a normal life.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis can be fatal if left untreated; it can also cause coma, high cholesterol, and heart problems. With treatment and proper management, the prognosis and outlook for those with Hashimoto's thyroiditis are good.

Hashimoto's disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland. Almost every organ in the body is affected by thyroid hormones, regulating many bodily functions.

If used and administered properly, peptide therapy is an incredibly safe and effective treatment. Peptides have a multitude of benefits, so many people can benefit from them.

Peptide therapy at BioDesign Wellness Center is a regenerative medicine treatment that improves patients' overall health, wellness, and quality of life. The use of peptide therapy stimulates cellular regeneration by restoring the number of peptides in the body.

There is no specific "treatment" for adrenal fatigue. Treatments will be designed to target the root causes. Lifestyle changes and supplementation may be recommended to reduce stress and cortisol release. Hormone replacement may be used to bring hormones back into balance that were thrown off by the increased production of cortisol due to adrenal fatigue.

You can lower your risk of adrenal fatigue by reducing stress and improving your lifestyle. Make changes such as giving up smoking, alcohol, and drugs. Starting an exercise program, eating healthy foods, and following a daily routine for sleeping and waking will almost always make you feel better and could help you avoid the problems of adrenal fatigue.

The root cause of adrenal fatigue is stress. Our doctors understand that adrenal fatigue is a condition caused by overstimulation of the adrenal glands due to long-term stress. When you are overstressed, the adrenals release too much cortisol. Cortisol lowers your testosterone levels, which adds to many of the problems associated with adrenal fatigue.

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is much more common than hyperthyroidism.

There is no test that can detect adrenal fatigue. Many times, a person will be told he or she has adrenal fatigue based on symptoms alone. Sometimes, a blood or saliva test may be offered, but the results and analysis of such tests are often not enough to give a definitive diagnosis of adrenal fatigue.

"Adrenal fatigue" is a term applied to a collection of nonspecific symptoms, such as body aches, fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances, and digestive problems. The term "adrenal fatigue" was coined in 1998 by James Wilson, Ph.D., a naturopath, and expert in alternative medicine. He describes it as a "syndrome" that results "when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level."

Hypothyroidism is defined as an underactive thyroid, which results in the gland producing less thyroid hormone than your body needs.

The definition of hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland. As a result, the thyroid gland produces more hormones than the body needs. These high levels of thyroid hormone can lead to weight loss, increased heart rate, and heat intolerance.

The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce hormones that help regulate the body's metabolism, including growth and other functions of the body. The thyroid gland is the only human tissue that actively absorbs and processes iodine from the diet, usually seafood or iodized salt.

There can be several causes of hormone deficiencies, from genetic conditions to disease or injury. However, the most common cause of hormone deficiencies or hormone imbalance is the natural decline of critical hormones that occur as we age.

The simplest, easiest way to check your hormone levels is through a blood test. We can draw your blood right in our office to get you started. Our doctors then review the results and write a treatment plan customized to your needs if hormone replacement is needed.

Pellets prescribed by BioDesign Wellness are obtained from a trusted leader in the compound pharmacy industry. We use an FDA-regulated manufacturing facility. Their compounding process, strict sterile environment, attention to detail, and quality of the compounding components they use, make the bioidentical pellets they prepare extremely safe and effective.

Hormone pellet therapy is a safe and effective way to deliver bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. In pellet therapy, tiny pellets about the size of a grain of rice are implanted under the skin, where they release a steady flow of medicine over 3-4 months. Our bioidentical pellets are natural and plant-based. The chemical formulation is an identical match to the hormones created in your body!

Yes, ipamorelin therapy and HGH therapy can be used together, and they often are. HGH injections can raise growth hormone levels relatively quickly. However, it is kind of an "artificial" boost, if you will. Your levels will increase, but HGH injections alone do nothing to "tell" your body to increase your natural output of HGH. However, if you combine HGH therapy with ipamorelin, not only are you getting the immediate boost in HGH in the blood, you are also “retraining” your pituitary gland to produce and maintain a higher output of HGH.

In patients that qualify, HGH therapy with peptides such as ipamorelin is a safe yet more cost-effective solution than growth hormone replacement therapy.

Patients who are exhibiting signs of age-related growth hormone deficiency but may not require HGH replacement to bring their levels back into the normal range are the ideal candidates for Ipamorelin therapy. Turn on screen reader support

Ipamorelin is a prescription version of a substance naturally produced by your body known as a human growth hormone-releasing hormone or growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRH or GHRF). GHRFs like ipamorelin stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.

Bioidentical hormones are natural compounds derived from plants. Unlike commonly prescribed synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones produced by the body, allowing them to be metabolized much more easily. That chemical compatibility with the body yields more effective symptom relief than synthetic hormones with fewer risks and side effects.

Unlike the mass-produced drugs and medicinal treatments made by the big pharmaceutical giants, a compounding pharmacist prepares prescriptions that are custom-made for the individual needs of each patient.

BHRT is very safe. It is probably the safest form of HRT available. BHRT uses the same hormones, molecule-for-molecule, as the ones which occur naturally in your body, including progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. Bioidentical hormones are made from all-natural plant sources to create hormones that are exact duplicates of human hormones. Bioidentical hormones are better recognized by the hormone receptors in your body and are therefore more effective and better tolerated than their synthetic counterparts.

Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a given hormone in the bloodstream. Because of their essential role in the body, even small hormonal imbalances can cause serious health issues.

While women cannot avoid the change of life, they do not have to suffer from symptoms that make the adjustment more difficult than necessary. Our menopause treatment can help ease the body through the many changes that occur in the body as the reproductive cycle winds down. Menopause is the start of a new phase of life, with new possibilities and priorities. Why not take advantage of today’s advanced medical knowledge to ensure that you are prepared to make the most of it?

Yes. There was a time when it was reported that hormone replacement therapy for women could increase the risk of heart problems or of developing breast cancer. But these conclusions were largely based on flawed studies that were done decades ago. As long as you follow your doctor's instructions and are carefully monitored over the course of your HRT treatment plan, hormone replacement is still the best way to treat age-related hormone loss or other hormone imbalances in women.

Restoring hormonal balance with our unique menopause treatment has helped many women make the transition to the menopausal phase of life much more comfortable. Benefits experienced from the use of traditional HRT and HGH can include improved sleep quality, reduction or elimination of hot flashes, increased energy, and restoration of sex drive. Many women find that mood swings, anxiety, and depression are improved or eliminated as the body’s hormones come back into balance, promoting a general sense of well-being. Greater mental clarity and memory have been reported, as has increased muscle tone, decreased body fat, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Menopause, sometimes referred to as "the change of life," is that time in every woman's life when her periods stop and her ovaries lose their reproductive function. Usually, this occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but in a few exceptional cases, women may become menopausal in their 30s or even younger. This is then known as premature menopause or premature ovarian failure. "Medical menopause" can be caused by certain surgical procedures such as a hysterectomy.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can affect weight loss in women. In addition to having less abdominal fat, the same study found that women undergoing HRT were almost one whole point lower on the body mass index (BMI) scale, and they had nearly 3 pounds less of fat mass.

You can usually begin HRT as soon as you start experiencing menopausal symptoms and will not usually need to have any tests first. A GP can explain the different types of HRT available and help you choose one that's suitable for you. You'll usually start with a low dose, which may be increased at a later stage.

Treatments may include: Hormone therapy. Estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment option for relieving menopausal hot flashes. Depending on your personal and family medical history, your doctor may recommend estrogen in the lowest dose and the shortest time frame needed to provide symptom relief for you.
