REFLECTIONS ON
THE PAST YEAR
I continue to juggle the responsibilities of running a busy endocrinology practice with the continued desire to reach out to those individuals who financially or logistically are not able to be my patients. I wish to acknowledge and extend my thanks to my Practice Administrator, Gordon Blocker, who provides the technical and creative expertise, to get my message out to my readers all across the United States.

I find that people are eager for this type of practical self-help educational information. I don't pretend to have all the answers and none of this is a substitute for the care you need to be getting from your own physician. However, I strongly feel that an informed patient is better equipped to participate with his or her physician in deciding on the best care for their particular health problem. I am simply passing on practical information that has been helpful in my own patients in my 27 years of medical practice.

Many chronic illnesses are caused or at least aggravated by poor lifestyle habits. In my medical practice, the patients who achieve superlative results are those willing to take responsibility for their own health and work with me to achieve the goals that we set forth. I encourage you to develop this kind of relationship with your own physician.

Dr. Marina Johnson Store Membership and Rewards Program
We continue to fine-tune and polish the Dr Marina Johnson Online Store.  Physician quality supplements are not generally found in health food stores.  Furthermore, these vendors have restrictions against discounting of their products. I wanted you to have access to these fine products at a competitive price. By using the identical  ingredients in our private label brand - the Dr Marina Johnson brand, we are free to discount these products and give you the best value on physician quality supplements.

Some vendors also restrict advertising of their products  unless they are within a password protected store.  We are very diligent about  following the policies set forth by the different vendors for distribution of their products.  That the is the rationale behind my General Store and Member store.  Products in the General Store do not have advertising restrictions like those in the Member Shore.  By registering with the Member store, you can access a wider selection of products and become eligible for discounts and our rewards program.

Thanks for visiting my site and let's enter 2009 with a renewed spirit of energy and curiosity to explore and learn the mysteries of our body, mind and spirit.

It is natural for testosterone levels to decline with aging

ANDROPAUSE
Low testosterone levels may begin in men as early as the 40’s and 50’s. This been referred to as male menopause or Andropause.
If a man has a permanent decline in testosterone production, it should be treated. However, in contradistinction to women, male menopause can be a reversible phenomenon.

MEMBER STORE
Please visit my new store, registered users have access to my Dr. Marina Johnson Brand Products - Click Hereown private-label collection of nutritional supplements.
Until now, my line of supplements was available only to the patients at The Institute of Endocrinology and Preventive Medicine. (Products of this quality are typically distributed only through physicians’ offices.)

Having been a pharmacist before I attended medical school, I brought specialized knowledge of pharmacology to the development of my private-label collection. I have carefully chosen the best physician-quality products which have been useful in my patients. I’m also proud of the fair pricing structure, intended to make top-of-the-line products available to everyone.

This is a confusing time for women in understanding bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. On the one hand they have the option of taking it to relieve the symptoms of menopause but, on the other hand, they are faced with conflicting data on its safety. UPDATED May 2008

Depression can often be reversed by correcting hormone deficiencies

DEPRESSION
Is there some medical conspiracy to put everyone on antidepressants? Of course not. Doctors are compassionate caring professionals who want to do the right thing for their patients. The issue, pure and simple, is time. Our Feature Article - Is it Depression or a hormone deficiency?
