Patients at Cenegenics Carolinas undergo a comprehensive health evaluation, which includes measuring hormone levels. Physicians then determine whether hormone levels are deficient and if the patient needs hormone replacement therapy. The key, Dr. Barber points out, is combining hormone replacement therapy with a complete lifestyle management plan that includes proper nutrition and exercise.
Dr. Barber, 53, has been interested in hormones since she entered perimenopause “a sort of pre-menopause” about 10 years ago and has attending training led by Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of “The Wisdom of Menopause” and “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” and frequent Oprah guest. Dr. Barber began her practice after hypertension, high cholesterol, stress and possible chemical exposure left her in the Intensive Care Unit at age 42. After recovering, she became certified in the practice of age management medicine and now helps others be as healthy as they can during the aging process to live their lives with renewed vigor.
