Letter from Dr. Green

I had the privilege of meeting Suzanne Somers after her talk a couple weeks ago at the Chicagoland Health and Beauty Expo. All I can say is WOW! She is one amazing woman. She spoke so eloquently and was so engaging I hardly realized she spoke for over an hour. She touched on all of the major aspects of staying healthy in these times. And let me tell you she was right on. She touched on the sugar in your diet, the stress in your life and the influence of big drug companies in today's healthcare system, which she aptly referred to as our "disease care system."

She did all of this in an entertaining way and all in the context of hormone balance, which she and I both believe is essential. She called Anti-aging physicians courageous for going against the norm and seeking out what is really the best medicine. As for me, I call her courageous. She has taken a lot of criticism for these health beliefs she is promoting, and I applaud her for giving bio-identical hormones a large voice, (and a pretty face.) She has done a lot of her own research, and while she is not a doctor, you can learn from her approach to health care. Take your health seriously. Understand that our health care system is not very good at prevention. Be proactive and find out what is right for YOU. I recommend her new book "Ageless" as a starting point for the issues on hormone balance. See where it takes you. If you would like a more technical and comprehensive book I suggest EVERY WOMAN read "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You about Breast Cancer" by Dr. John Lee and Dr. David Zava.

If you are interested in learning more about Anti-aging medicine and bio-identical hormone balance, I am building my practice to do those things for men and women. (Yes, men go through a hormone change too.) I have three programs to address individual needs. I have a weight loss program, a Healthy Hormones program and a more inclusive Healthy Body program depending on your specific health needs. If you or someone you know would be interested, it would be my privilege to be your Health Coach.

Sincerely,
Dr. Green
