"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,
'til it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer,
never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

As women and men age, their hormones decline. This decline creates hormonal imbalances which cause negative side effects and contribute to weight gain.

AT AMI, we us HRT and BHRT because people are different. Both are proven safe and effective but come from very different places. HRT is made in a special pharmacy while BHRT is a natural hormonal therapy that uses plant-derived hormones identical in chemical and molecular structure to ones produced by the human body. Both of these hormones can be very important to the process of losing weight.

There are several important hormones you may receive while at Atlanta Medical Institute as our patient. Hormone Replacement Therapy can assist you in slowing, stopping and even reversing many of the negative effects of gaining weight. Both HRT and BHRT should always be conducted by a physician skilled in hormone replacement therapy. Call us today to see how you can experience our safe and effective treatments from our medical staff.

Stress Reduction Programs

Every day, our bodies are bombarded with hundreds of stressors. When we are healthy, our bodies can fight them off. Have you noticed how some people are better at dealing with stress than other people? Over time, what do you think happens to our bodies' ability to fight off this stress? Can stress have a direct impact on weight gain, aging, and personal health? The answer to all three is "YES".

Until now, there has never been a technology that could effectively measure and reduce stress in the human body on a quantum bio-electrical level. Like many medical professionals, we also believe that proper identification and elimination of stress can have a major positive effect on the human body, and allow our natural healing and detoxifying organs to do their job at maximum efficiency. It is commonly accepted that stress, either realized or often consciously unrealized, can suppress the immune system and potentially manifest itself into serious illness over time. Weight gain, aging, and other signs are our bodies' way of communicating with us. The subconscious mind thinks, our emotions react and our bodies' listen.

After decades of research, we believe that certain types of stress can be linked to most human illnesses, so identifying the stress give us a road-map to alert you as to what could likely be happening inside your body. By pinpointing where you hold stress, our trained practitioners can take the first step to detecting potential illness that may already be occurring, in the process of manifesting, or hopefully, just a high risk area that can be addressed by you before illness begins.

Fitness and Nutrition Counseling

We're all different and from a nutritional standpoint, this difference is called biochemical individuality. This implies that no single exercise and diet plan is right for everyone. For example, one person may do well with a more traditional higher carbohydrate diet, another may thrive on Zone type meals which are heavier in protein and fat, and a third will feel energized and clear headed following a raw foods diet. So at AMI, our goal isn't to impose a belief system or have you follow a particular diet or exercise plan; rather, our goal is to teach you the basics of a healthy nutrition and exercise program so that your understanding helps you make the right choices each day. To help determine what type of foods and exercises may work best for you, AMI use highly trained specialists in the science of exercise and nutrition. Our professionals help identify which foods and food combinations are right for your unique metabolism, and which exercise programs will accomplish the results you are looking for. By tending to your specific metabolic needs while applying the basic principles of good nutrition and exercise, you will maintain proper weight, feel energized, and improve your overall health and quality of life!
