#74 - When Labs Come Back 'Normal' and You're Still Unwell: Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy | Ricky Brandon

Send us a text

Good hormone health is critical for your quality of life. It brings longevity, energy, and happiness. Unfortunately, many people are suffering from very real hormone imbalances and their doctors simply tell them “nothing is wrong” or “Everything tests normal.”.
According to 2022 data, generally incurable and ongoing chronic diseases are affecting approximately 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the country's total population. If that isn't worrisome enough, nearly 50 million Americans are additionally suffering from one more more mental illnesses.
While the reasons for these health crises are many, one potential catalyst that escapes conventional medicine's purview is unbalanced hormone levels that go undetected by routine testing.
About Ricky:
As a health and wellness advocate, Ricky Brandon employs natural hormone replacement therapy to help his clients address a myriad of life-altering symptoms ranging from general anxiety and depression to chronic pain and fatigue. After he spent years of trial and error trying to solve his own family's health challenges that conventional medicine wasn't solving, Ricky and his wife, Candy, a molecular biologist, opened Hormone Balance Centers, a leading provider of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

#76 - 'Bout That LIFE(style) Medicine | Dr. E. Benita Varnado (Part I)

Send us a text

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that’s been getting a lot of buzz recently and is a medical approach that uses evidence-based behavioral interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease.
Lifestyle medicine is a coordinated team-based approach to healthcare that integrates six vital “pillars” of good health to treat, reverse, and prevent chronic lifestyle-related diseases. Physicians, dietitians, physical therapists, mental health professionals, and other lifestyle medicine practitioners partner with motivated individuals to make meaningful and long-lasting changes that will benefit all aspects of a client’s health for years to come.
And no... lifestyle medicine is not new. It is actually the foundation of traditional medicine. What is new is the recognition of lifestyle medicine as a well-defined practice in today’s healthcare environment.
About Dr. Varnado:
Dr. Varnado was born and raised in North Carolina and has been living out a childhood dream of taking care of women of all ages as an OB/GYN.
Dr. Varnado left her career of almost 20 years in conventional medicine (Obstetrics and Gynecology) in 2021 to address the broken healthcare system, which currently puts the most resources in treating symptoms, when it really needs to address the root cause of diseases.

Through her years of practice, she has realized that many know what it takes to be healthy but outside of a support system their efforts rarely yield the desired outcome because their environments often reinforce poor habits. Her focus now is to help others achieve optimal mental and physical health by focusing on lifestyle-based treatment, which she believes, could prevent and manage most ailments.
She is a proud graduate of Hampton University and The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. She completed her OB/GYN residency at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA, where she learned how to be an excellent surgeon and physician. Being a mother of two, having a marriage of 17 years, a supportive family, and a strong relationship with God are keys to her success.
