4 Keys to Developing Great Gut Health

Gut health is a critical component of our overall health. Having a healthy amount of “beneficial” bacteria in our guts can help ward off illness and disease, and even improve our mental health.

To help you live your healthiest life, we’ve compiled a list of 4 ways to improve your gut health.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women: A Real Patient Experience

Ever considered bioidentical hormone therapy? Typically given to women as an under-the-skin pellet, this “wonder drug” custom-targets hormone deficiencies you have, helping patients with symptoms ranging from sexual discomfort to a general feeling of grogginess. Each pellet is fully customized based on your body’s deficiencies in testosterone, estrogen, and/or progesterone. Many of our patients are curious about this treatment, so we asked our Maningas Cosmetic Surgery marketing director, Dallas, to share her experience and answer questions you have about hormone replacement therapy. How long have you been using hormone therapy? I started in spring of 2021. I learned from the initial lab test (which we order for all patients) that...

Testosterone Replacement Therapy: A Real Patient Experience

Over time, some men stop producing hormones at a healthy level. This leads to symptoms that disrupt an active lifestyle, like persistent tiredness, loss of libido, and a feeling of disinterest in normal activities. Many men simply live with these symptoms, assuming they are just part of getting older—but if low testosterone is to blame, testosterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help you regain energy, sleep better, and feel like yourself again. Wondering if this treatment will get results for you? We asked one of our Joplin, Missouri patients—a 36 year-old husband and father —to answer questions about his experience after two months of hormone therapy with injections. Where...

Evolve vs. CoolSculpting: Which Non-Surgical Body Contouring Comes Out on Top?

Evolve Tite, Trim, and Tone for non-surgical body sculpting is attracting lots of interest, and with fame comes comparison with other popular options—especially CoolSculpting. But while CoolSculpting freezes fat to trim you down, Evolve uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, which generates a controlled heat that can reduce fat and tighten skin, as well as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to tone muscle groups. Curious about replacing some of your gym routine with non-surgical body contouring? To help you choose, we explain how the non-surgical trifecta Evolve Trim, Tite, and Tone compares with CoolSculpting.
