BodyLogicMD announces the launch of BodyLogicMD Education, http://www.bodylogicmdeducation.com, an educational opportunity for physicians to specialize in the field of anti-aging and functional medicine, at the 12th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging on August 20-22 in Chicago, IL at Booth number 522-524. BodyLogicMD, the leader in bioidentical hormone therapy, offers physicians the education, technology and marketing necessary to excel in the field of anti-aging and functional medicine.
BodyLogicMD Chief Medical Officer, menopause specialist and published author Dr. Pam Wartian Smith, M.D., MPH and BodyLogicMD Founder Dr. Paul Savage, will head the education curriculum. The seminar series is the first of its kind; giving physicians interested in specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy an accredited resource, certification and fellowship opportunity.
"The field of modern medicine is long overdue in recognizing the need to provide a curriculum based on the premise of bio-identical hormone therapy solutions as it relates to menopause, andropause and the signs of aging," said BodyLogicMD founder Dr. Paul Savage. "The consumer demand is there, now doctors need to answer the call by offering anti-aging solutions using bioidentical hormone therapies combined with fitness and nutrition that will give people the best quality of life possible as they age."
The statistics speak for themselves. The market for this new medical specialty of anti-aging is expected to grow to $42 billion by 2006, reflecting an average annual growth rate of 9%. Today's mature adults (baby boomers) control more than $7 trillion of the wealth in the United States or 70% of the country's affluence. Further they earn $2 trillion in annual income and account for 50% of all discretionary income.
"There is a pent up demand for an anti-aging and functional medicine industry resource that truly focuses on the treatment of bioidentical hormone therapy," said Smith. "BodyLogicMD Education is setting the industry standards and the algorithms necessary for physicians to learn the academics necessary and apply them to a practice."
