Optimizing Men's Health At The Lake

At The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy, we talk a lot about helping our clients maintain optimum health. While the majority of our clients are women, we offer many services that are specifically geared towards male clientele. Since June is National Men's Health Month, and this week (June 13-19) is International Men's Health Week, we decided to dedicate this week's blog to discussing some of the unique services we offer for men in our area.


Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Women aren't the only ones who go through major hormonal shifts as they age. Most men begin going through andropause after age forty, at which point their testosterone levels will gradually drop throughout the rest of their lives. These changing hormone levels can result in several symptoms, including:
  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Sexual Challenges

Like women, aging men who receive bioidentical hormone therapy at the Lake of the Ozarks often see dramatic improvements in their physical and emotional states. To learn more about BHRT and how it may be able to ease your symptoms of andropause, contact our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO.

Deep Tissue Massage & CranioSacral Therapy

Whether from their careers, hobbies, or household chores, many men perform strenuous physical tasks on a fairly regular basis. Staying active is good for maintaining strength and overall health, but performing too many strenuous tasks can begin to take its toll on the body. It's important for men to give their bodies time to relax, recover, and rejuvenate before moving on to the next project. Our licensed massage therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks is skilled in two distinct practice areas that may benefit men in these situations:
  • Deep Tissue Massage is excellent for digging down and working the deeper muscles, tendons, and tissues of the body that may have become strained due to physical over-exertion. An experienced therapist should be able to listen to your body's signals and work the areas most in need of assistance, thus helping to alleviate chronic muscle pain.
  • CranioSacral Therapy is very different from deep tissue massage in that it utilizes a very light touch of often no more than 5 grams (approximately the weight of a nickel). This light pressure allows the therapist to work without the body putting up any of the defenses that sometimes come in conjunction with heavier pressure. A skilled therapist should be able to use CranioSacral Therapy to identify and treat the true causes of pain to achieve optimum results, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Remember The Lime For All Of Your Health-Related Needs!

Bioidentical hormone therapy, massage therapy, and CranioSacral Therapy are simply a few of the services we offer to men in our area. Our compounded medication at the Lake of the Ozarks has proven to help men overcome a myriad of other health challenges, including (but not limited to):
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic Pain
  • Exercise & Sports Injuries
  • Weight Gain
  • Headaches / Migraines
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Warts
  • Snoring

We are honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help the men in our area better maintain their health. To learn more about how we may be able to help you, contact our pharmacy. We truly look forward to serving you!

Testosterone & Beyond: Men's Hormone Replacement Therapy

When we talk about "raging hormones," most people think of women. Puberty, PMS, pregnancy, menopause... it's no secret that fluctuating hormone levels affect women for most of their lives. However, it is a slightly lesser known fact that men experience similar fluctuations in their hormone levels - especially as they age - and that these fluctuations can have serious effects on their mental and physical well-being. Luckily, the team at our Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacy can help make the process easier!


Andropause - A Quick Overview

Andropause is essentially the male equivalent to menopause. During andropause, men's testosterone levels drop. While this is a natural part of the aging process, it can have some undesirable consequences, such as: 
  • Sleep Disturbances
  • Memory Loss
  • Fatigue
  • Low Libido
  • Muscle Loss
  • Mood Changes
  • Decreased Stamina & Endurance
  • Depression
Fortunately, men experiencing these symptoms do not have to live with them forever. At The Lime In The Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy - the process of supplementing the body with hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones found naturally within the body. (Check out our previous blog to learn more about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.)


We Can Help Ease The Process!

Andropause therapy offers renewed vitality by off-setting effects of natural testosterone loss, and we are happy to report that we have helped many male patients achieve a greater quality of life through our hormone therapy. Our Missouri compounding pharmacist will work with you and your doctor to determine the exact testosterone replacement required by your body and will use that information to create medication uniquely designed for you. 

We can deliver your medication in several different forms, depending on your specific needs. Common dosage forms include:
  • Capsules
  • Topical Creams
  • Troches (Lozenges)
  • Topical Alcohol Gels

Contact The Lime In The Coconut To Schedule Your Consultation With Our Pharmacist Today!
If you have questions about andropause therapy or would like to learn more about how hormone replacement therapy could help you, contact The Lime In The Coconut Pharmacy to schedule a consultation. Our experienced compounding pharmacist would be happy to sit down and discuss your options with you!
