Here’s an important look at four important nutrients the symptoms of low levels, and a few everyday solutions for filing the gaps.

POTASSIUM:
Crucial to kidney and hear function, healthy potassium levels help keep your blood pressure in check. In a study published earlier this year researchers found that low potassium may be as harmful as excess sodium when it comes to raising your risk of high blood pressure. Several other studies also show that increasing your intake can strengthen your bones as well as cut your risk of stroke, now the 3rd leading cause of death each year among American women.

How do you know if your deficient? Taking diuretics and drinking too much alcohol while skimping on mineral-rich fruits and vegetables can be the cause. You may experience symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, and constipation.
Best sources? To reach your 4700mg of potassium daily try the following foods along with a good Multiple & Vitamin Mineral (such as our Activ Nutrients by Xymogen) bananas, acorn squash, almonds, spinach, and avocado.

VITAMIN D:
Long known to aid the body in using calcium efficiently, vitamin D is vital for a strong skeleton. Despite the increasing evidence showing that vitamin D may defend against a slew of health problems, Americans are still not getting enough. In clinical studies, scientists have discovered that people with low D-levels may be more vulnerable to heart disease, some types of cancer (including breast, lung, prostate, colon, and ovarian), autoimmune disorders, depression and chronic pain.

How do you know if your deficient? Softening of the bones and rickets.
Best sources? Food sources are so limited and sun exposure isn’t the best option for most people, it’s a good idea to take vitamin D3 supplement. Recommended amount is between 2000IU-10,000IU per day depending on your serum vitamin D levels.

CALCIUM:
Beyond building healthy bones, calcium play a major part in ensuring that your blood vessels, muscles, and nerves function properly. Calcium is so essential to survival, in fact that your body will draw the mineral right from your bones if your intake isn’t adequate. Along with keeping your bones strong and healthy, women with high calcium intake may cut their overall odds of developing cancer, according to a 2009 Archives of Internal Medicine. Recent research also shows that loading up on calcium may help promote weight loss in women who are calcium deficient.

How do you know if your deficient? There are no outwardly known symptoms to signal when you’re low on calcium. An increased risk of osteoporosis is the greatest threat.
Best sources? Yogurt, orange juice, dark-green leafy vegetables like spinach & kale and pinto beans. It’s pretty tough to get enough calcium from food. So a basic Multiple Vitamin & Mineral like Activ Nutrients by Xymogen until about age 40 and then supplement with additional Calcium in a good formula with MHCH, Vitamin D3 such as our Osoplex which has been proven in clinical studies to not only prevent osteoporosis but also reverse the process due to its’ patented formula building both the inside and outside of the bone.

FOLATE

Not only risky for pregnant women, low folate levels may weaken your heart health. When lacking in this B vitamin, your body has trouble metabolizing certain amino acids, which can lead to a buildup of protein called homocysteine. Even moderately high levels of homocysteine can jack up your heart-disease risk, according to dozens of studies. Other research links low folate levels with a higher risk of cancer, dementia and depression. While higher folate levels appeared in studies to protect against asthma, allergies and age-related vision loss.

How do you know if your deficient? Signs would include anemia and fatigue

Best sources? Although folate is found in many fruits and veggies it is not easily absorbed from its natural food sources. So a must is to get this in a good multiple vitamin and mineral and/or to take a good B-complex such a B-Activ by Xymogen.

Meet Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and All-Dried Up, the seven dwarves of menopause (named by Suzanne Somers in her book The Sexy Years).  These are just a few of symptoms many women deal with on a daily basis, the GOOD NEWS is you don’t have too!

With Bio-Identical Hormones, homeopathic, and body balancing with Dr. King you can feel GREAT again, with our 2 hour Nutritional & Hormone Evaluation.

What is Menopause?

Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovarian production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline. The average age of menopause onset is fifty-one, plus or minus several years. Menopause is medically defined as the time in which a woman ceases to menstruate for the duration of 1 year. Although the definition properly describes the event, the process can begin up to 10-15 years earlier and is called perimenopause or pre-menopause and for many women this starts as early as age 35.

Long before a woman’s menstruation stops, she will begin to notice changes in her body. Over time, her periods will become shorter in length, some longer and more “clotty”, and she will notice a loss of energy, a decrease in strength, weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and a loss of libido. Her mood is altered and she may be more agitated, depressed, apathetic, and forgetful. While these are all symptoms of menopause, it is important to know that there is a bigger picture during this time your hormones are changing - you are experiencing the loss of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and this occurs during perimenopause.

There is no way to stop menopause, it’s a natural cycle of life. Every woman will go through menopause and perimenopause at some point in her life. However, the difference is how you deal with this normal process. This imbalance in hormones is often accerlated and intensified by poor diet, poor nutrition and stress and can be balanced by correcting those areas we have control over.  Finding what is not balanced in your life and your body is what Dr. King can do for you. Natural bioidentical hormone therapy along with homeopathy and body balancing with nutrition and dietary changes will help you in an amazing way to manage and often eliminate the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.   Utilizing Dr. King’s expertise and our body scanning system we give you a new leash on life and bring your body back to that youthful energy you had in your 20’s as your hormones are balanced back out.

Menopause Symptoms

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Weight gain
• Mood swings
• Depression
• Trouble sleeping
• Vaginal dryness
• Loss of sex drive
• Urinary Incontinence
• Irritability

Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping and weight gain are the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance as a woman ages.  Perimenopause weight gain is oftentimes misdiagnosed and is one of the first signs of hormonal imbalance, it’s the “I eat less and less and yet I still seem to gain weight feeling”. These signs of menopause or early menopause and related conditions are also connected to your stress levels, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and the environmental toxins your body is exposed to on a daily basis.

The Solution: Bioidentical Hormones for Menopause

Dr. King’s Nutritional & Lifestyle Renewed Health Programs uses only bioidentical hormones, which are identical to the body’s natural chemistry, in combination with nutrition (homeopathy, herbs, supplements, vitamins and dietary programs). Dr. King provides a natural treatment that helps women suffering from the symptoms of perimenopause and signs of menopause by using bioidentical hormones or natural hormones to enable you to enjoy life to its fullest!

Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful, and All-Dried up. In her bestseller, “The Sexy Years” Suzanne Somers explains how, one by one, these symptomatic dwarfs took over her life and how bioidentical hormone therapy made them go away.

There are many benefits felt immediately upon using bioidentical hormones for menopause treatment. The seven dwarfs, one-by-one, begin to depart. The hot flashes, the night sweats, the irritability, and the loss of energy and strength begin to subside. Your libido is restored and you begin to feel more control over your emotions. The term ‘menopausal’ will no longer define you and control your life, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of menopause. In combination these benefits have the long-term effect of improving your overall quality of life and it all starts with bioidentical hormones for menopause.

Beyond Menopause

Menopause is often dreaded by women due to the symptoms and a preconceived notion that it is a marker of old age. In reality, women often live into their high eighties and nineties, making menopause more of a half way point than anything else. Without menopause symptoms, women experience a huge relief of stress, allowing you to relax more and enjoy your life. Around 75% of women say that they were having more every day fun in their lives after the end of menopause symptoms. 93% of women claim an increase in independence as well.  This is not a time to dread, women should be able to easily pass through both perimenopause and menopause with high energy, balance, good mental clarity, and a great sex drive. We can do this by balancing your body, balancing your hormones and balancing your nutritional needs.  Talk with Dr. King today at skingdc@earthlink.net or 626-799-0557.

Since ZERONA laser came to the market many people have compared the results Liposuction and ZERONA procedures. In looking at the differences and results for patients interested in fat loss and body contouring it is important to look at the process of both procedures.

Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour. While it is proven to be effective, it also comes with its down sides, mainly in the form of recovery time and cost.

Liposuction is an invasive procedure, so it comes with pain, discomfort, and possible risks. Typical side effects include swelling, bruising, discomfort, minor pain, and reduced mobility. Limited mobility for a few days to a few weeks depending on number of areas you treat surgically, as well as long terms risks can be permenant scarring, lumps, pumps lose skin and sensory loss.  It may even take several months after the procedure for swelling to subside and for you to full recover from liposuction. Depending on how many areas you’d like treated, liposuction can range from about 2K – 10K for the procedure.

While liposuction does a good job of removing excess fat often times patients are left with excess skin that will need another procedure for removal.

ZERONA on the other hand is less expensive, non-invasive, risk free, and pain free!

The ZERONA lasers are directed to the targeted areas on the body for 40 minute sessions (6 sessions in 2 weeks is common, but if you’d like to lose additional inches many people do up to 12 sessions per area). There will be no pain or recovery time, you can do this on your lunch and go right back to work and no one would even know you had a ZERONA laser session, how amazing is that? Many patients have reported to have lost anywhere from 3-9 inches after the two weeks of treatment.

The cost for the ZERONA procedure ranges from about 2K – 3K and you are able to cover multiple areas at one time rather then just one at a time like liposuction. Overall, if you’re scared to go under the knife, and want something easy, effective, and affordable you should look into ZERONA.

To learn more about the ZERONA procedure go to www.dedicatedtohealth.com.  or email skingdc@dedicatedtohealth.com directly and talk with Dr King, the Zerona Laser Expert.  If you need to lose many inches of fat in a number of different areas on the body take a look at Dr. King’s Zerona Lifestyle Program with her comprehensive computerized nutritional approach combined with laser a safe and natural approach to change your body and kickstart your fat loss with out harm or side-effects.

RAVE REVIEWS posted on yelp.com:

“I saw the Zerona Laser on the Rachel Ray Show & found Dr. King. I picked Dr. King even though I had to drive about an hour from work each time to treat with her because she really cares about her patients. She includes an amazing nutrition & lifestyle program with her Zerona Laser Sessions that not only finds out why you are having weight issues but helps you keep the weight off once you reach your goal. Her goal is to get you healthy and help you keep the weight off, not just look good. I was a size 16 and thought this really was just for the thinner people looking to sculpt, well I lost 11 inches and went down 3 sizes thanks to the Zerona and Dr. King’s products and meal plans in just 1 month. And I’m proud to say  I’m keeping it off and still losing. Thank you Dr. King for caring so much about me with your weekly emails, constant encouragement and great program. I never expected such a change in my health, but not only do I look great but I feel amazing!” Rae G

“I went to Dr. King initially for the Zerona laser procedure because I was having trouble losing weight.  I’ve been on zoloft for a long time, and not only did it cause me to gain 20 lbs - it also made it impossible to lose.  With just 12 treatments over 4 weeks - I lost 15 lbs and 9 inches off my stomach and thighs.  And better than that, Dr. K also works with you on a nutrition plan to enhance the effects.  She is very kind and helpful, and her office is great!  I also now go to her for chiropractic as well” Kate C
