The goal of sex education at school and at home to help our youth develop a positive attitude towards sexuality, provide them with information to protect their emotional and physical health, and help them develop skills to make healthy decisions now and in future .

Parents are the primary teachers of their children’s sexual education. That is why it is important that parents and schools work together to ensure that a consistent message to our youth. The most important prediction of current and future health of young people in our consistent message from home, school and community with the knowledge, skills and confidence that you can use the ability to change ones life.

When it comes to sex education, most parents want schools to help teach their children. Parents realize that there are many health related to sex, including HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Parents do not feel equipped to do the job alone.

Parents often that sex education taught early and often. It is not always the case. School administrators need to hear from parents about what they would like to see in their school.

This is a time when the student body begin to change as they move into adolescence. Signs of puberty is hair in new places, menstruation, body odor, lower voice in boys and breast development in girls. Today, children are exposed to so much information about sex and relationships on TV and the Internet, even before puberty. Often this information is not reliable and gives mixed messages. That is why education in schools and at home discussions that are accurate and support each other necessary.

Menopause Doctor Changes Perspective of 10,000 Facebook Fans

Mar 07


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2012

Anti-aging doctor, Shira Miller, M.D., now reaches over 10,000 fans on Facebook confirming that baby boomers are looking for an alternative solution when their doctor says, “Theres nothing we can do. You’re just getting older.

“I view menopause as a chronic disease,” says Dr. Miller. “To me, it’s just like any other permanent hormone deficiency. In type 1 diabetes, when the body can no longer produce insulin, we prescribe insulin. In situations when the body can’t produce thyroid, we prescribe thyroid. But when faced with menopausea time when womens bodies stop producing both estrogen and progesteronemost doctors are prescribing antidepressants, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety agents, non-bioidentical hormones, and other drugs that don’t (or barely) address the primary problem.”

Dr. Miller recommends bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women in menopause, whether they are severely suffering or think they have no symptoms at all. In order to achieve optimal health, she believes BHRT should be prescribed in a way that mimics how estrogen and progesterone are produced in healthy reproductive women. Estrogen and progesterone are usually only associated with reproduction, but there are estrogen and progesterone receptors all over the entire body and their functions extend far beyond pregnancy, explains Dr. Shira Miller.

Dr. Miller runs a concierge medical practice and doesnt take insurance. This allows her to provide highly personalized, convenient, and comprehensive care to her patients (initial consultations can last as long as four hours). She also makes time to keep up with current medical research and educate the public at large through her “How to Have a Luxurious Menopause” workshops and social media.

That women go through’ menopause is one myth that Dr. Miller debunks. “No woman goes through menopause,” she says, “rather, it is a condition a woman goes into. More specifically, menopause is a state of estrogen (estradiol) and progesterone deficiency. It’s permanent. Contrary to conventional wisdom, menopause is not a phase that a woman passes, ‘gets over’ or ‘goes through, whether she suffers from hot flashes or not.” Dr. Miller teaches that, “Theres really no such thing as ‘postmenopause.’ When women gain this knowledge, their menopause paradigm changes, treatment options unfold, and they feel empowered instead of helpless.”

In both men and women, signs and symptoms of sex hormone deficiency may include weight gain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, muscle atrophy and weakness, joint aches, fatigue, low libido, reduced sexual function, osteoporosis, hot flashes, lack of vitality or motivation, brain fog, reduced efficiency or productivity at work, and relationship strain.

By using an integrative approach that includes optimizing nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Miller is able to optimize her patients health and educate her fans. “One of the most important things to remember is that one’s actual long-term health and happiness is the goal; not just hiding symptoms,” she says. “There’s a difference between not having a disease and being in optimal health.
