It is estimated that 1 billion people worldwide have a deficiency in Vitamin D! This deficiency can be attributed to both lifestyle and environmental factors. While some Vitamin D is supplied by the foods we eat, most of it is made in the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight. In fact, Vitamin D is a hormone that is made when UV rays from the sun contact our skin which converts cholesterol into Vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is the active form after being converted in the liver. Join Dr. Hotze today as he discusses the benefits of keeping your Vitamin D levels optimal to benefit your health!

Ladies, are you tired of not sleeping well, experiencing night sweats and fatigue? If so – listen up! As we age, our hormone levels decline which can cause a host of unpleasant symptoms. Fortunately, there are natural solutions that can help you feel better. Many physicians prescribe birth control pills to attempt to “balance your hormones,” but birth control pills are counterfeit hormones that don’t solve the underlying cause of your symptoms, plus have many negative side effects. You need bioidentical hormones that are identical to the ones made by your body. Join Dr. Hotze and his guest Sherry Fowle, as they discuss how visiting the Hotze Health & Wellness Center over 12 years ago changed her life! Not only did Sherry feel like she was being listened to and understood, but her symptoms resolved in just a matter of weeks and she is now full of energy.

Are you familiar with the “love hormone?” If not, listen closely. Oxytocin is known as the “love hormone” and is made naturally in the body and supports proper sexual function. Women produce more oxytocin than men, and it is more densely located in the Central Nervous System.

It all made sense. She immediately booked a flight from North Carolina to Texas, where she visited the Hotze Health & Wellness Center to find the answers she was desperately seeking.

Was Popeye wrong about spinach? Could an overabundance of “healthy” foods be harming your health? Oxalates are natural compounds found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains and are naturally created in the body as a waste product.

Approximately 35 million Americans suffer from Diabetes and about 90% of those cases are adult onset (Type 2 Diabetes)! This is a staggering statistic, although not surprising considering obesity is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. If you suffer from type 2 diabetes, the truth is that lack of insulin is not your problem…your lifestyle habits are! Your pancreas makes insulin in proportion to the sugar that you eat. Remember, all simple carbohydrates convert to sugar in the body. The more sugars you ingest, the more insulin your pancreas secretes into your body.

Does your doctor really LISTEN to you? Sometimes the best diagnosis is made by listening to patient symptoms to understand what their body needs. In 2009, Suzette visited Hotze Health & Wellness Center after having a hysterectomy. She was experiencing mood swings, sleeplessness, night sweats, and low energy and knew something wasn’t right. After a thorough history, physical examination and blood work were taken, and by truly listening to Suzette’s symptoms, it was evident that she was suffering from hormonal decline and nutrient deficiencies. She was prescribed a custom treatment program that included bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, vitamin and mineral therapy, and a yeast-free eating program that turned her life in a new direction! After 5 years on the program, she convinced her husband to take charge of his health as well, and he’s never felt better!
