According to the CDC there are over 1.4 million cases of Traumatic Brain Injury a year. Of that number 50,000 individuals die on the spot, 340,000 end up in a hospital and nearly 1.1 million deal with the injury at home never knowing that there is a potential time-bomb ticking inside them.  

   Unique to mild , moderate, and severe head injuries is the unforeseen development of hormone deficiencies. This is caused by the interruption of the control mechanism found within the brain in the Hypothalamus. It is this area that controls the master gland - the Pituitary. It is the Pituitary Gland that produces all the hormones that regulate the glands found throughout our body - Thyroid, Ovaries, Testicles, and Adrenal Glands.

    Traumatic Brain Injury is now being recognized as a causative factor for accelerated hormonal deficiencies. This can cause Psychological, Physiological, and Physical manifestations like; depression, anxiety, mood swings, memory loss, inability to concentrate, learning disabilities, sleep deprivation, increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, loss of libido, menstrual irregularities, pre-mature menopause, obesity, loss of lean body mass, muscular weakness, and a number of other medically documented conditions. 

    Studies have shown us that the use of conventional medications (antidepressants, antianxiety, antiseizure, and antipsychotic) do not improve upon the underlying cause creating the symptoms associated with Traumatic Brain Injury (Post-Concussion Syndrome) becasue they do nothing to increase the missing hormones. Psychotherapy does nothing to increase deficienct hormones, it only encourages you to accept a poor quality of life and to move on.

    Take some time and review the medical articles that are being published addressing and acknowledging the association between TBI and Hormonal Dysfunction. Remember that Dr. Mark L. Gordon was the first to provide this relationship on national television after 5 years of sharing the information that already existed. He is presently, lecturing to other interested physicians nationally and internationally.  

Take me to the studies  .


The next step in Interventional Endocrinology where correction of the underlying hormonal dysfunction can make the difference.

Injured Veterans
   If you are a returning Veteran from Iraq or Afghanistan and have sustained a Closed Head Trauma that is affecting your Quality of Life, my consultation and initial hormonal assessment is at no charge to you, your family, or the government.

   Contrary to others, the American People owe you a debt of gratitude.

Thank you.
