However, thanks to advances in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we do not have to end up this way. Identification and treatment of nutritional and hormonal deficiencies gives a new approach to the way that we age. By optimizing lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, nutritional supplementation, hormone replacement, and lowering stress levels, a better quality of life can be achieved.

 Bio-identical hormones have a molecular structure identical to hormones that are naturally produced in the human body, and can help to replace them as their levels naturally decline with age, disease, or surgery.

 “Age-related diseases can be prevented or controlled by following guided anti-aging principles,” states Dr. Leonard Rubinstein, Diplomat of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Join Dr. Rubinstein to learn more about advances and benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy at our upcoming seminar on Thursday, January 26 from 5:00 to 6:30 pm, or contact us to set up a complimentary consultation!

Dr. Leonard A. Rubinstein is an expert in his field of study and can determine which nutrient patients are deficient is, while recommending a well-constructed treatment plan customized to each individual patient.

A few examples of important micronutrients are Vitamin C, Zinc, Probiotics, or other antioxidants.

These dietary supplements are widely available in health food stores, pharmacies, and even grocery stores, but beware! Not all supplements were created equal. The bioavailability of many of these products is very low, meaning the amount of nutrient hat gets absorbed in the body can be as low as 15-20% of what is on the label! Choose certified pure supplements, that will deliver the nutrient to your body in its pure, powerful form, so that it can actually contribute to your well-being. Dr. Rubinstein offers a variety of these certified pure products throughout his comprehensive medical practice in Sarasota.

With the appropriate nutritional counseling, supplementation, and lifestlye enhancement, you can achieve optimal results, too. For more information contact Dr. Rubinstein at 941-957-3223!

“There are many reasons for the continued prevalence of skin testing,” states Dr. Leonard A. Rubinstein, an Ears, Nose, and Throat Specialist in Sarasota who has been treating patients with allergies for over 20 years. He too was originally trained in allergy skin testing, but made a conscientious decision to forego subjecting patients to it. So why is it so important to identify the source of allergy problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms with antihistamines, steroids, nasal sprays, and other pharmaceutical agents? “Medications have associated side-effects for both children and adults…it’s not safe to take medications long-term,” states Dr. Rubinstein. Research has shown that both food and environmental allergies have been implicated in a wide range of medical conditions affecting virtually every part of the body—from mildly uncomfortable symptoms such as indigestion and gastritis, to severe illnesses such as celiac disease, arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, and chronic infection. Allergies have been linked to serious disorders of the central nervous system including depression, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) has also been associated with allergies. 

Food allergies cause the immune system to synthesize and release reactive chemicals such as histamines, cytokines, lymphokines, and interferons. These hormone-like substances can dramatically influence cellular physiology, producing far-reaching effects of the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. “Even your natural hormone secretions can become imbalanced as a result of untreated allergies, leading to mood disturbances, headaches, depression, irritability, insomnia, and even low libido problems,” states Dr. Rubinstein who, in addition to his original specialty in Ears, Nose, and Throat, has received formal post-graduate training in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, and has become a Diplomat of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Dr. Rubinstein serves as the Medical Director of the Allergy Clinic of Sarasota, a CLIA state-licensed allergy testing laboratory that performs thousands of allergy blood tests yearly.  

Over the past 20 years in Dr. Rubinstein’s office, patients have been spared from the painful and confusing skin testing as a result of this new, in-vitro, allergen-specific IgE testing method that has quickly grown in popularity to be considered the “gold standard” in allergy testing. Dr. Rubinstein prides himself in his uniquely integrative approach to Allergy which includes conventional (Western) components as well as Homeopathic and Oriental components. He believes in assessing the patient’s nutritional needs, their environment, and even their hormonal balance. His recommended treatment is also much less painful than the traditional allergy shot regimen. As an alternative, he offers allergy drops administered under the tongue, also known as sublingual immunotherapy. The drops are absorbed by the dendritic cells located under the tongue that prove to be a more effective route to build tolerance to antigens. Additionally, the drops tend to cost less and require fewer clinical visits, and can conveniently be taken at home.

The study conduced in 2011 evaluated almost 6,000 women with a history of vascular disease, and over 30,000 women with no history. For women with no history of the disease there was a 17% lower risk of stroke. For women with a history of heart disease, there was a 46% lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
