Dr Cara Flamer, MD CCFP
Your trusted source for evidence-based
integrative medical care & bioidentical hormonal balancing
Steady decline as you age is not inevitable
Our Approach:
At GSH Medical, our goal is to help you maintain functional levels of hormone in your tissue. The result is that the cellular, metabolic and chemical reactions in your tissue required for normal physiology will be maintained, thus reducing the risk of chronic diseases of aging. In addition to this, whatever symptoms you had that were a result of deficient hormones will be reduced or eliminated. Under Dr. Flamer's care hundreds of patients have experienced a full or significant reduction in their most troubling symptoms. We commonly hear from our patients that when they are on the appropriate hormone program for their levels, they have significant if not full relief of their fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low libido, sleep disturbances, muscle and joint pains and decreased mental function.
From the perspective of reducing diseases of aging, we know that there are associations between the following diseases and hormone deficiencies: osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, macular degeneration, incontinence, hypertension, dyslipidemia, to name a few.
The benefits of hormone balance translate not only into relief of symptoms and restoring function back to your tissues, but also has a significant impact on your relationships with the people in your life. Its hard to be fully present with those you love when you are not feeling your optimal self. With hormones in balance, you will be more able to address the relationships, situations and challenges in your life that require your attention.
Dr Flamer will look at your unique situation using information from an in-depth review of your symptoms and medical history, and various modalities of diagnostic testing and create for you a customized program designed to meet your goals.
Dr Flamer's approach to your optimal health and wellness:
Three main areas are addressed within Dr Flamer's progressive system of healing.
The first is our consciousness. This refers to our underlying thoughts and beliefs, which ultimately form the basis of our feelings and behavior.
Secondly, our energy field needs to be balanced constantly, which would include removing any blockages that may be present that could later affect our wellness.
And finally, the health of our physical body would need to be examined and addressed.
At GSH Medical, we specialize in:
1. Hormone Restoration with natural bio-identical hormones: ensuring that as you age, your tissues have enough hormone to ensure that cellular reactions take place smoothly and that function can be maintained as you age.
2. Energetic balancing: removing blockages present in the energy field, helping the body return to its state of “still point” so that it is able to heal itself
3. Mind-body connection: addressing any issues in the conscious and subconscious mind that may be affecting the physical body
4. Nutrition to support optimal hormonal status and overall balance and function in the body
5. Naturopathic supplements to support optimal hormone balance and to ensure that your tissues have all the right nourishment to support healthy cell function
Dear Dr. Flamer:
After being on synthetic hormones for many years, I feel remarkably different with the switch to bioidentical HRT. I feel revitalized and vibrant now.
Before all I could say is that it took the hot flashes away and stabilized my moods. The difference now is my skin is glowing, my sex life is happy and back on track, I feel as passionate as I did in my thirties, my moods are great and my body is nimble rather than stiff and creaky feeling.
My friends all ask me what am I doing differently so they have seen the difference too. My husband wants to send you flowers all the time. Thanks for everything!
