Answer - Choosing a doctor

When choosing a doctor, the most important thing is to find a doctor who will listen to you. Choose a doctor with experience and one who emphasizes “prevention” medicine. Unfortunately, too many doctor’s offices have become little more than a prescription farm – ordering various tests and medications without actually taking time to listen to you. At Performance Medicine, we care and we listen. We'll treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Answer - Overweight

It is not OK to be 10-20 pounds overweight. It greatly increases your chance of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and Altzheimers. If you have significant belly fat you are at a higher risk for all of the above illnesses. Come see us to get, and keep that weight off.

Answer - Obesity

Obesity is not a character flaw and there is often a combination of situations that contribute to this metabolic disorder. At Performance Medicine, we evaluate and address these different factors. For most people, simply losing weight is the best thing they can do for their health. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight and one-third are obese. We understand that everyone is different, so our Weight Loss programs are customized to fit each individual.

Answer - Exercise

Exercise is the number one thing you can do to stay healthy! Do some enjoyable form of aerobic exercise daily and lift some light weights 3 times a week. Your body was meant to move!

Answer - High Blood Pressure

Any blood pressure reading consistently higher than 125/80 can be very harmful. We call high blood pressure “the silent killer” because it puts pressure on every organ in your body, including your heart, kidneys and brain. To find out ways to reduce your blood pressure, schedule an appointment with Dr. Rogers today.

Answer - Bio-identical Hormones

The term “bio-identical hormones” is a term that refers to a hormone that is chemically the same (down to a molecular level) to those produced by the human body. These hormones, such as estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, are usually made from yams or soy and are indistinguishable from what the body makes. Dr Rogers feels that they are safer and work better than non-natural/synthetic hormone chemicals. Balancing your hormones can go a long way to solving sleep, weight, mood and low sex drive issues!

Answer - Hormone Replacement

Restoring and rebalancing your hormones can improve your sleep, mood, cognitive thinking, sex drive as well as improve bone density, decrease heart disease, hot flashes, night sweats and more. With the medical advances available today, people are living TWICE as long as they did 100 years ago, and naturally declining hormone levels can result in a quality of life that is less than you imagined for the second half of your life. We believe having proper hormone balance is one of the keys to good health and will work with you to get the balance just right!

Answer - Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
