    Hold or Cold: The Yoga That Keeps You Young

    26 April 2012, thriveportland on the topic of 'Age Beautifully' Tips, Portland Medspa, Portland Weight Loss, Thrive Portland

    Yoga is prolific across the whole west coast, but Portland alone has one of the highest per capita rates of studios in the nation. The practice has become one of the most popular and best-respected forms of exercise, especially among women, and that popularity has diversified yoga tremendously. In Portland there is a wide array of options, but most of them boil down to temperature. For traditionalists, cold yoga retains more of the practice’s ancient roots, but hot yoga is believed to purge toxins as it strengthens the body and mind.

    Sometimes called Bikram, hot yoga is practiced in controlled temperatures that range from 95-110 degrees Fahrenheit. It uses traditional poses and yoga exercises, but practitioners find their stretches can go deeper due to the heat. The real benefit, though, is the detoxifying powers the heat has. Sweat is an integral element of hot yoga practices, and it often results in a feeling of rejuvenation during and after practice.

    The risks of hot yoga are obvious. Practioners can easily become dehydrated, so they need to drink copious amounts of water before and during their practice. Some may experience temperature shock too if they leave the studio immediately in colder months. Since the internal body temperature rises so steeply, it needs time to cool back down to a normal temperature. These dangers, however, are easily prevented, and they’re insignificant when weighed against the benefits.

    Because yoga is such a low contact form of exercise, the body doesn’t just exercise: it’s strengthened in stretching and poses. This has made it preferred among practitioners who want to avoid the impact of running and heavy weights. When heated, though, yoga can develop a beautifying effect by purging the body and skin through sweat. 110-degree exercises may not appeal to everyone, but they do allow the body to lose weight and age beautifully.

    For more information about weight loss and aging beautifully, contact Dr. Amy Bader and the rest of the Thrive Portland physicians to learn more about our services.

    Portland Tattoo Removal: The Ease of Removing Your Unwanted Tattoo

    15 March 2012, thriveportland on the topic of Tattoo Removal Portland, Thrive Portland

    From ancient Egypt to modern day Portland, tattoos have existed in one form or another for over 5,000 years. According to a 2008 Harris Interactive Poll, 14% of American adults have at least one tattoo; this includes 32% of people aged 25-29 and 25% of people aged 30-39. Sixteen percent of people who have tattoos regret getting them, mostly because they felt they were too young when they got them or because they no longer like the images. Technology has afforded us the ability to remove, safely and efficiently, what were once completely permanent marks.

    Using Q-switched laser treatments, which have been approved by the National Institutes of Health, medical professionals break the ink pigments in tattoos into small particles, which are then absorbed and discarded by the body. This process leaves little to no scarring and produces such low amounts of pain that for the most sensitive patients a topical anesthetic is sufficient. Dark pigments break more easily and with fewer treatments than lighter pigments, due to light absorption, and some lighter inks, such as yellows and certain shades of red, will darken with initial treatments and then break apart as though they were dark or black to begin with.

    Dr. Maddox and the team at Thrive use RevLite®, a state-of the-art multi-wave laser that breaks pigments more efficiently and with a decreased risk of hot spots or scarring than other medically-utilized lasers. Depending on the size, shape, color, and placement of the tattoo, as well as skin pigmentation, tattoo removal make take six to ten sessions to complete. These sessions are typically spaced eight weeks apart, to minimize the risk of improper healing and pigmentation changes.

    If you’d like to learn more about removing that tattoo you don’t want anymore, schedule a complimentary, no obligation evaluation with Dr. Maddox today by calling 503-241-3579.

    Hormone Replacement Therapy: What Every Man Should Know

    13 January 2012, admin on the topic of Bioidentical Hormones Portland, Thrive Portland

    When we think of hormone levels decreasing with age, we normally think of menopause with symptoms that inclue mood swings, hot flashes, a loss of sex drive, trouble sleeping, and weight gain. These can also be symptoms of low testosterone levels, called hypogonadism or andropause. According to the Mayo Clinic, testosterone levels naturally decrease, generally speaking, at a rate of approximately one percent per year starting when a man is 30 years old.

    thebestinfo.net

    The symptoms associated with low testosterone levels – thinning hair and decreased muscle tone, changes in sleep patterns and sexual functions, and mental changes such as mood swings or memory loss – can be attributed to other diseases or lifestyle choices such as excessive alcohol use, so a blood test is part of the screening for hypogonadism.

    At Thrive, we are committed to educating people about the potential problems of hormonal imbalances in men. We treat male hormonal imbalances with a testosterone replacement procedure. During this procedure, Dr. Maddox will take a detailed medical history of your current state of health as well as a blood sample to observe your current testosterone levels. A custom treatment plan designed specifically for your needs will be formulated and may include natural hormone replacement, nutrition, exercise, and nutritional supplements.

    Studies have found that testosterone replacement can lead to the following positive health benefits:

    • Reduced waist line by up to three inches and progressive weight loss over time.
    • Reduction in the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
    • Reduction in cholesterol levels for both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
    • Reduction in average blood glucose levels.
    • A significant decrease in liver function enzymes, likely indicating an improvement in fatty liver disease.
    • A decline in the International Prostate Symptom Score, indicating an improvement in urinary function with testosterone use.

    With proper treatment, what were once considered the inevitable effects of aging can be managed, slowed, or reversed. If you or someone you love has been experiencing these symptoms, we advise you to schedule a consultation with us to see if we can address the symptoms with natural remedies. For many, slight changes to diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements can make the difference between vitality and fatigue. Call us today at 503-241-3579 to book your consultation at our NW Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center.
