A significant number of the vitamins you will find on the pharmacy shelves these days are made synthetically through chemical processes, rather than derived directly from plants or other materials, although some manufacturers still produce natural vitamins. In fact, manufacturers of natural vitamins and some of their adherents claim they are superior to synthetic vitamins. Is there any substance in these claims?

It is rather difficult to make the distinction between "synthetic" and "natural" vitamins. Some define a natural vitamin as a concentrated nutrient derived from a quality natural source. The idea is maximum retention of the natural material; no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives should be used.

Many people who try to lose weight on their own run into the same wall. At first, the plan works. The number on the scale goes down. Then progress stalls, hunger increases, and energy dips. The body starts fighting back. This happens because most diets focus on short-term calorie cuts instead of long-term metabolic health. When your body feels deprived, it slows your metabolism to conserve energy. At Harley Institute, we help patients understand their metabolism before building a plan. This allows us to use science as a guide instead of relying on willpower alone. Every person’s body responds differently to food and exercise. What works for one may fail for another. A medical approach takes that into account and builds from the inside out. That’s what makes medical weight loss in Atlanta, Georgia, different from the trend-based programs that crowd the market.

Hormone replacement therapy is a procedure that replaces hormones that, due to menopause, have fallen below normal levels. Some menopausal symptoms include night sweats, hot flushes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. It can also cause weakening of the bones, or osteoporosis. As you may suspect, or know, the symptoms are uncomfortable. Many of these symptoms of menopause can pass after some years of discomfort, but we recommend hormone replacement therapy if you are looking for quicker relief. Give the Harley Institute a call to learn more about hormone replacement or read on for more information. We are always ready to schedule your Atlanta hormone replacement therapy appointment.
