Modern approaches to dryness, bladder control & intimacy Most women have never heard the term genitourinary syndrome of menopause, but nearly all of them know the symptoms. Vaginal dryness. Pain during sex. Sudden bladder urgency. Leakage. These aren’t minor inconveniences, and they’re not inevitable. They’re signs of GSM, a condition rooted in estrogen loss that…

Why oversimplified plans fail What many people experience – versus the RegenCen experience Patients coming to us after trying medical weight loss elsewhere describe a similar experience. Persistent nausea. Fatigue. Loss of strength. Feeling lousy in general – even as the scale ticks downward. That experience with the newer GLP-1 drugs is pretty common, and…

When patients think of anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement is often top of mind, and for good reason. Optimizing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can dramatically improve energy, metabolism, mood, sexual health, muscle mass, and bone density. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the foundation of longevity medicine. But a foundation is just the beginning.…

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have changed how weight loss looks. Patients lose meaningful weight, feel better, and reduce the health risks that come with excess weight, including heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. For the right patient, they can be highly effective. But weight loss doesn’t do the same thing that body…

By Gustav Lo, MD | Chief Medical Officer Originally published in our Timeless magazine  Most people don’t wake up one day and feel “old.” They feel more tired than they used to. Recovery takes longer. Strength fades quietly. Weight becomes harder to manage. Motivation dips — even when sleep and stress seem unchanged. What I…

What the FDA’s reversal means for women – and for long-term health For more than two decades, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) carried a warning that shaped medical decision-making, public perception, and women’s lives. Many were advised to avoid it. Others were never offered it at all. In late 2025, that position changed. In a widely…

A note from our Chief Medical Officer | Gustav Lo, MD Weight loss is personal, and treatment should reflect that. For many patients, semaglutide is an effective option. When progress is steady and treatment feels well-tolerated, there’s every reason to continue. But not every experience is the same. Some patients reach a plateau. Others experience…

Why traditional hormone therapy often falls short, and how a more precise, physician-guided approach can improve both symptoms and long-term health.   Many women today fall into two groups: those who have never taken hormone therapy and could still benefit, and those who are already on HRT but may not be getting the full benefits.…

Why do so many women feel dismissed right when their bodies are changing most? Feeling hormonally “off” can manifest in a variety of ways: heavy or irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, restless sleep (or none!), mood swings, brain fog, and low libido. These are common symptoms women experience in their 30s and 40s, long…
