Join us as we'll discuss: That hormones are safe-estrogen is safe for women, testosterone is safe for men. Hormones will preserve your brain, heart, skin, bones as you age. And hormones are the solution to aging with vitality. Dr. Sklar is a Harvard trained gynecologist who went from sluggish, burned out and overwhelmed to vibrant, vital and happy using the Sklar Center Protocols she developed for the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine. She started the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine in 2007 as a response to the unmet needs of men and women who are looking for answers to the questions of how to feel good in midlife and maintain optimum health long term. Her journey into this cutting edge medical field began with her own medical problems of gluten intolerance misdiagnosed as colitis, multiple hormone changes so common to midlife women, and disabling osteoarthritis of the knee which was predicted to never improve. At her center, she implements the perspectives of Restorative and Anti-Aging Medicine which recognize that hormonal and other biochemical deficiencies cause humans to age and decline in ways that are not necessary or inevitable. Replacement and balancing of these natural substances result in improved vitality and a longer healthy span of life with less chronic illness. After more than 20 years of experience as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Sklar pursued training in sexual function solutions for men and women and completed the nationally recognized fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine sponsored by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Her passion is bringing this knowledge to the community so that everyone can take advantage of this new perspective and live longer, healthier lives. She sees private patients at her center in Long Beach, California To learn more about Dr. Susan Sklar click here www.sklarcenter.com.
