TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
Dr. Colker’s practice specialties include internal medicine, sports medicine, and nutrition. He is licensed in medicine and surgery and on the faculty at Cornell University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital where he is Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in Neurology in New York City.
Traditional allopathic medicine means medical care from a real, licensed medical professional. There is no escaping the fundamental necessity of mainstream medical care and the lifesaving benefits modern medicine has brought to all our lives. You must have a true traditional medical physician on your side at all times. The key is to have a qualified professional that is both skilled in medicine and knowledgeable, but also open to all effective methods and means outside their classical disease-based training, especially when mainstream medicine isn’t the answer. But never should you stray too far from the essential base of the traditional medical approach.
Menopause isn’t easy for any woman. The body changes dramatically due to fluctuations in hormones and, along with those changes, a woman’s appearance can also change quite dramatically. In fact, the physical morphing can be so dramatic and so quick to take hold at menopause, that the shock may take a staggering emotional toll. Answers to your questions are challenging to come by. Do you take hormones or not? Sometimes your gynecologist can help, but more often than not, their arsenal and fundament of knowledge of the entire landscape of choices is understandably limited. Working with them, your own primary care doctor, and/or our medical staff, we can provide a complete array of bio-identical options, natural hormone support regimens, and other approaches to alleviate symptoms and help rescue youthfulness from the ravages of age.

With more than 4000 square feet of surface area, our intestine is the most massive organ in the human body. The reason for the huge surface area is due to the primary digestive and absorptive function. Absorption directly into the bloodstream occurs through a specialized lining forming a tight barrier controlling which substances get absorbed and which are blocked.
You should avoid guessing what your body needs, especially when you can test for this and get a precise indication of what is needed, and what is not.
While almost 90% of Americans admit to taking some form of vitamin supplement, in reality, the vast majority are doing nothing more than guessing at what they need. Countless take multivitamins as an “insurance policy” for their health, incorrectly assuming whatever the body doesn’t need, will always just easily and harmlessly be eliminated.
