From the beginning of time, mankind has struggled with the debilitating consequences of aging. Today,
we have the advantage of key medical knowledge which assists us in controlling our health through
proper nutrition and exercise. However, many people still do not exercise their physical bodies daily.
ENTER: Dr. “Ironman” Shumway’s Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).

I am a 62-year-old, 140.6-mile IRONMAN competitive triathlete, many times over. I understand the
benefits of hormone replacement therapy and encourage my patients to exercise everyday while using
them. The combination of nutrition, exercise and hormones my “natural lifestyle”, contribute to my
finishing every triathlon. The term “natural” is key to understanding the need to maintain vital human
hormones at optimum levels. “One does not get old and lose their hormones, we get old BECAUSE we
lost our hormones”. Therefore, it is essential to replace our hormones throughout life at consistent,
optimized levels. The first step is to have a consultation then complete specific laboratory tests to
confirm decreases in hormone levels, symptoms and other health concerns.

“The fountain of youth is MOVEMENT”, this is nature’s way of driving all living things towards
homeostatic health. Natural bioidentical hormones allow us that movement to exercise and thus, stay
youthful. Cell death occurs if there is poor maintenance of health by lack of EXERCISE, improper diet
and decreased hormone levels. In this new year, there is no better gift to give yourself or someone you
love, the gift of health.

Call my office if you want to find out if you’re a candidate for BHRT, it’s time to stop
suffering and start living!
