The Story of Twist 25 DHEA Cream




The DHEA Cream Innovation


Twist 25 is a skin cream that provides topical DHEA and is the result of 29 years of development by John R. Woodward, M.D., and his son, Hugh Woodward, President of Health2Go.


Trained at Yale University School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Medical Center, Dr. Woodward has long had a specialized interest in providing leading-edge hormone replacement and maintenance for women and men. Hugh Woodward holds a MHA, Master of Science in Health Care Services Administration, and has worked in the health care industry for 25 years.
In 2006, Dr. Woodward told his son about one of his new advances, a cream he had developed to maintain vitality that was gaining great popularity among his patients. Hugh Woodward decided to try it himself, as it could positively impact the health of both men and women. After using it daily for 2 weeks he felt leaner, fitter, had more energy, more mental sharpness, better focus and was sleeping more deeply at night. This allowed him to awaken more rested and have more energy and productivity during the day. He felt more motivated to go to the gym and work out. The results and benefits of exercising became more noticeable. People started asking if he had lost weight.


Hugh called his father and said, “I love this cream. I feel great. What is it?” Dr. Woodward explained that it was a specially formulated pharmaceutical grade bioidentical cream developed and compounded for him by working with compounding pharmacists. “Since DHEA does not require a prescription, why isn’t any company making a high quality DHEA cream and providing it for people in health stores and clinics?” Hugh asked. “Good question,” Dr. Woodward replied.

Twist 25 DHEA Cream

The best formulations for bioidentical DHEA cream were researched, formulated and tested yielding the present Twist 25 DHEA cream – a very simple, clean coconut oil based cream with water, vitamin E and co-enzyme Q-10. The cream contains 50 mg/ml DHEA pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA.


DHEA, Hormone Building Block


DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is produced naturally in the body from birth. Men and women alike make more and more DHEA from birth to about age 25. After age 25 both men and women begin to make less and less DHEA with time. Each year people make 2% less than in the prior year.


DHEA is the precursor, or base building block, from which the body makes about 50 different hormones. DHEA is the most abundant pro-hormone in the body and is metabolized by the body in the adrenal glands, gonads, and the dermis (skin). The dermis is the largest organ of the body and is where metabolism of DHEA occurs normally. (ref Labrie Intracrinology study).

Studies show that by maintaining healthy hormone levels women and men can maintain better health and reduce the risks of heart disease, cancer, dementia, depression, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, obesity and more. The ideal goal, Dr. John R. Woodward, M.D. says, would be to maintain hormone levels of a healthy 30 year old. Maintain good health rather than try to recover health function lost.

Just a small application of Twist 25 DHEA Cream, morning and evening each day, can make a big difference in maintaining health for men and women ages 35 and up.
 
Health2Go, Inc. was formed in March 2007 to bring top quality leading edge health products to people conveniently and cost effectively. Twist 25 DHEA cream is the leading flagship Health2Go product with others to be added soon.
The Health2Go team is proud to provide what we and others believe is the best DHEA cream possible and help more people get it conveniently.

For more information about the benefits of DHEA and DHEA cream, read the Twist 25 DHEA blog.



John Woodward, M.D. is the inventor of Twist 25 DHEA cream. Dr. Woodward practices medicine at Medical City in Dallas, Texas. He is an OB-Gyn by training, and is Board Certified in gynecology. By staying on top of current medical and clinical research, Dr. Woodward contributes leading edge scientific insights to Health2Go. He is still seeing patients, travelling and going strong at age 79! Dr. Woodward says “I practice what I preach. It works. Use Twist 25 DHEA cream, and make your own hormones.”

Great News That Can Add Some Muscle to Your Bone Health

Written by Erin Chamerlik, Nutrition Educator, MS, MT(ASCP)

Yin and Yang of Bone Health

 

Many people do not realize that our skeletal bones are living tissue constantly being remodeled. Complementary forces are at play to maintain and build healthy bones. This constant change between these two forces is necessary, and we cannot have healthy bone growth without the opposite force of breaking down bone, called resorption. Prescription medications for osteopenia and osteoporosis known as bisphosphonates work against nature by preventing resorption.


Do Women Really Need to Take Bone Drugs?

 

Dr. Susan Brown, PhD, medical anthropologist and certified nutritionist, says,

"Quite simply, my answer is no. In almost all cases, taking a prescription medication is not needed. Women from around the country come to our bone center for a natural approach to strengthening their bones — and it’s been working for more than 20 years. Osteoporosis and osteopenia medications are big business, but despite all the hype and marketing from drug companies, there is a safer, more effective and natural approach to bone health available to you."



Good News

 

While genetics do play a role in bone health, there are several environmental factors that also effect bone strength. This is great news, because that means that there are several action steps we can take that will support healthy bones and make a big difference in the quality of our bones. This is true even for those with weak bones. Diet, physical activity, stress, smoking, avoiding excess caffeine and alcohol use, as well as hormone balance, all play a critical role throughout life in bone strength. 


Nutritional Deficiencies

 

Certain nutrients can slow bone loss and help in the formation of new bone.

While it is well known that calcium and Vitamin D are important nutrients, there are other nutrients that the body needs for bone health that are just as important. Dr. Robert Thompson M.D wrote that overconsumption of calcium can actually increase the risk of osteoporosis (Thompson, 2008). There are 20 different nutrients that the body needs, not just calcium. These nutrients include vitamin K2, Vitamin A and minerals like magnesium, boron, zinc, and strontium. Consider taking a quality multivitamin and a blend of Vitamins A, D, and K. A good bone-building supplement like Bone Guard will cover the required mineral nutrients.

Vitamins A, D, and K are fat soluble vitamins that work together to support strong bones, a healthy immune system, vision health and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D increases the amount of calcium that the body absorbs from the intestines. It must be accompanied by vitamin K2 to sweep calcium out of the soft tissues and put calcium where it belongs - in teeth and bones. MK-7 is the form of vitamin K2 recommended by natural health expert and author, Kate Rheaum-Bleue, ND. Dr. Rheaume-Bleue’s research shows that all three vitamins must be taken together since, “vitamins A and D are required for the production of vitamin K2-dependent proteins.” This synergistic combination of fat soluble vitamins is found in Health2Go’s A-D-K.



Foods to Include for Bone Health

 

Unrefined sea salt, like Redmond's Real Salt or Himalayan salt, contains many trace minerals required for healthy bones. Build your meals around high quality, unprocessed foods like fresh meats, fish, eggs, vegetables (especially dark green leafy vegetables), fresh fruit, nuts and seeds, healthy fats, and fermented and raw milk products from pasture-raised cows. 


The Hormone Connection

 

Three hormones in the body play a role in regulating calcium levels in the body, parathyroid hormone, calcitriol (produced from Vitamin D) and calcitonin. In addition to the calcium-regulating hormones, stress hormones and sex hormones play a vital role in bone health in both men and women.

As women reach menopause, progesterone and estrogen levels decline and women may experience rapid bone loss if nothing is done to address this decline in hormone levels. Estrogen can retard the progression of bone resorption but progesterone helps rebuild bone. Testosterone is an important hormone that stimulates muscle growth, which will trigger bone growth from the positive stress on the bone.

Physicians believe that DHEA helps maintain strong bones as we get older because DHEA is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone, both of which are known to help reduce bone loss; but it appears that DHEA also has separate bone preserving effects that are unrelated to its metabolism into other hormones. The Mayo Clinic indicates that, “Evidence suggests that higher DHEA levels may be linked to higher bone density, particularly in women who have undergone menopause. Research reports that DHEA supplements may help increase bone density.” (Mayo Clinic).

Research performed at Washington University School of Medicine showed that DHEA supplementation in older men and women could help improve age related changes in fat mass and improve bone mineral density (Villarreal, 2000).

DHEA also balances out excess stress hormones which benefits bone growth. The body responds to stress by producing more of the adrenal hormone cortisol. When stress is not managed, large amounts of cortisol block bone growth. The body’s most abundant naturally occurring pro-hormone, DHEA, is crucial to counterbalance cortisol levels. Unfortunately, DHEA gradually decreases after age 25, while cortisol levels steadily increase as we age.

Men and women can safely address problems associated with hormone imbalance by using bioidentical topical hormone preparations. Twist 25 DHEA cream is the best bioidentical DHEA supplement cream made. Twist 25 DHEA cream helps maintain hormones naturally. I use it personally and recommend it for my clients.

As mentioned earlier, progesterone helps rebuild bone and a lack of progesterone around menopause is an important factor to consider. In addition to using DHEA cream, women can use a topical bioidentical progesterone to help prevent and even reverse osteoporosis. 



You have choices

 

Your body has been designed to build and maintain strong, healthy bones when it is given the proper support. Choose to eat alkalinizing, bone-building foods and add nutritional support and hormone support. Exercise regularly and manage stress and cortisol levels. No matter what your age, you can implement these suggestions and start building healthier bones today!

Fountain of Youth - A Surprising Source



Written by Erin Chamerlik, Nutrition Educator, MS, MT(ASCP)

There are two substances that fall into the category of Fountain of Youth. They are Vitamin D and bioidentical DHEA.

Both of these substances are made from cholesterol. Cholesterol is life giving and not the villain it has been made out to be. We now know that dietary cholesterol and high levels of cholesterol in the blood are not the cause of heart disease. Dr. Sandro has a great article on this topic.

If you are searching for the Fountain of Youth, continue reading to learn more about Vitamin D and DHEA, which both come from the surprising source, cholesterol.



Vitamin D

Adequate levels of Vitamin D are important for bone strength, improved mood, physical performance, healthy immune function and even reduced rates of certain cancers.

A deficiency of Vitamin D3 can result in obesity, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease and diseases of aging including arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease and hypertension.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone made from cholesterol. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, cholesterol can be converted into Vitamin D3. Daily sunlight exposure is the best way to get Vitamin D3, but most people are not outside for 20 minutes every day with their skin exposed.

Food sources of Vitamin D include egg yolk, fatty fish and beef liver. It is very difficult to obtain adequate Vitamin D3 from food sources alone.

Vitamin D3 Supplementation is recommended. Usually 2,000 IU to 5,000 IU daily. It is best to also supplement with Vitamin K2 to prevent calcification of the arteries.

Test - Once a year have a Vitamin D blood test and aim to be in the range of 50 - 80 ng/mL. The blood test you need is called 25(OH)D. An at-home test kit is available here.

 

DHEA

DHEA stands for Dehydroepiandrosterone – the medical world is rife with acronyms, now we know why! DHEA is a precursor hormone also synthesized from cholesterol, secreted by the adrenal glands and metabolized in the gonads and skin.

When DHEA levels are low, the body will not have adequate hormone production. This imbalance can leave one feeling flabby, fatigued and stressed and susceptible to many diseases of aging.



Quick Facts about DHEA

  • DHEA is the most abundant hormone precursor in the body.
  • In men and women alike, DHEA peaks by age 25 then drops each year after at a rate of about 2% each year.
  • The aging process is tied to a decrease in hormones like DHEA and growth hormone, and is tied to an increase in cortisol (the stress hormone).
  • DHEA has a multitude of benefits backed by scientific studies.
  • When DHEA is applied to the skin it is about 90% more active than when we take it as a pill. DHEA metabolism occurs in the skin naturally.
  • DHEA is converted to other hormones like estrogen, testosterone and about 50 other hormones.
  • DHEA is not addictive or habit forming, and is available over the counter without a prescription.
  • DHEA has no dangerous side effects.

DHEA is a Building Block for hormones, sebum, collagen, cartilage and more.



Benefits of DHEA

  • Reduces risks of cancer
  • Supports cardiovascular health
  • Helps improve deep REM sleep
  • Critical for lean muscle development
  • Reduces both visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat
  • Supports strong bones
  • Supports formation of cartilage and collagen
  • Allows softer skin and fades age spots
  • Reduces risks of UV and chemical carcinogens
  • Supports immune system
  • Reduces effects of menopause and andropause
  • Helps reduce risks of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Improvements in mood, libido, skin health and bone strength. Less anxiety and depression.
  • Improves energy, focus and sense of well being
  • DHEA counterbalances the damaging effects of chronically elevated cortisol so it is often called the anti-stress hormone

    Anti-aging Plan

    The best anti-aging plan is a comprehensive approach.

    How to slow the aging process:
  • Eat a nutrient-dense diet, centered on unprocessed, whole foods with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
  • Hydrate properly. Drink filtered water; about half your body weight in ounces of water (for example, a person weighing 150 pounds needs approximately 75 ounces of water per day).
  • Exercise daily.
  • Get 8 hours of sleep per night.
  • Maintain healthy hormones. Twist 25 DHEA cream daily is a good start. Have your hormone levels tested.
  • Supplement wisely, including Vitamin D3, Omega-3 fish oil, magnesium and Vitamin K2.
  • Reduce and manage stress. 


“Of all the bioidentical hormones I have used in my practice, the one that gives the biggest bang for the buck is DHEA. It is inexpensive [available without a prescription] and has proven to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. If I only had one adrenal hormone to use, it would be DHEA.” Dr. David Brownstein, MD

Summer Fun in the Sun

Feel the heat? ..but not got the beat in your feet to get outside and dance?  Summer is supposed to be the time when we go to the beach, get outdoors, have some fun in the sun! ...but, if you're lacking vitality, focus and energy - not good. So do something about it. 

Most people after age 35, and especially past age 45, notice they start to “feel blah”, lack energy,  or have trouble finding the zest for life they once had. Getting out in the sun and having fun with family and friends is important for many reasons:
1-exercise is keeps us slimmer and happier and healthier
2-interaction with others is key.
3-It also allows us to produce Vitamin D3 when skin is exposed to sunshine. 

So to look and feel best, we really should get outside and play.

DHEA is a naturally occurring pro hormone that is a base building block for hormones. DHEA is also a base for sebum (or skin oil), and DHEA has been found to reduce risks of chemical and UV carcinogens for skin cells. Plus, DHEA helps fade “age spots” and keratoses and is made with coconut oil which is good for your health and your skin too.


So rub on some Twist 25 DHEA cream and get out there in the sunshine and feel alive again.  This is a skin cream that’s not just great for your skin in several different ways, it also lets you regain that vitality and zest for life you had in your twenties. DHEA is great for your health and great for your skin too.

So kick the blahs…regain the pep in your step. Have soft well hydrated skin. Enjoy the summer sunshine! Use Twist 25 cream. Make your own hormones naturally.

Sleep Deprived? It may be contributing to belly fat




Written by Erin Chamerlik, Nutrition Educator, MS, MT(ASCP)

Nearly half the U.S. adult population suffers from poor quality sleep at night and one third of all adults are sleeping less than six hours per night. This lack of restful sleep is affecting more than just daily activities.

Sleep drives energy, focus, and sense of well-being and when sleep quality is poor, sixty-seven percent of people also report that their health is poor.

The lack of adequate sleep (about seven to nine hours is needed per night) impacts hormone function and blood sugar metabolism. Hormones drive many aspects of our lives: how we sleep, how we feel, energy levels, mood, drive, muscle tone, and fat.

Shortchange Sleep, Increase Appetite and Cortisol

Even one night of poor sleep results in a cascade of problems the next day.
   Insulin resistance - impaired ability to use insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance is linked to an increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
   Increased cravings for sugar
   Increased appetite

Chronic partial sleep loss may increase the risk of obesity and weight gain.

This web of problems also includes an increase in cortisol levels. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. The four biggest causes of belly fat are eating a poor diet with sugar and processed carbohydrates, stress, lack of adequate restful sleep and lack of physical activity.

Three Keys to Help Increase Energy, Improve Sleep and Reduce Belly Fat

Do you battle unwanted belly fat, have listless libido or regularly experience trouble getting a good night's sleep? 


Would you love to sharpen your mind and increase your energy and vitality?

Balance Hormones
If you are over age 25 it is very likely that with each passing year your levels of DHEA hormone are steadily decreasing at the rate of about 2% per year.   As this hormone declines more and more signs of aging appear.

DHEA is a precursor or base building block from which hormone molecules are made by the body. Recent findings show that higher DHEA levels are associated with deeper REM sleep thus allowing sounder sleep at night. 

People with lower levels of DHEA have more belly fat, sleep poorly, and have a higher risk of getting cancer.  DHEA is a base for estrogen, testosterone, and 50 other hormones.

I began using Twist 25 DHEA cream topically several years ago in my early 50s. At that time I had been having a difficult time sleeping, with many nights lying awake for hours.  Two weeks after beginning Twist 25 I slept straight through the night, and that continued to be the pattern. DHEA had kicked in and things were coming into balance. I was waking up refreshed and my energy increased.



Improve Sleep
As hormones are balanced, consider additional ways to improve the quality of sleep. Be sure that the room you sleep in is completely dark. Remove electronics, get room-darkening blinds, and even cover the light from your smoke detector with black tape. If you cannot achieve total darkness, use a sleep mask.

Avoid screens (tv, computer, tablet, phone) an hour before bed. Turn down the lights and read a book or listen to music.

Avoid alcohol, starchy snacks and heavy meals before bed.

Use aromatherapy. Essential oils increase feelings of relaxation. Lavender oil and cedarwood essential oil are favorite calming oils to use at bedtime. Essential oils can be diffused or applied topically.  Apply a drop of oil to the back of the neck, on forehead or on each wrist.

Supplements can help. Take 400mg of the relaxing mineral, magnesium glycinate, at bedtime (or more if needed). Herbs like passion flower can also be beneficial.

Eat Nutrient Dense Foods

A poor diet is stressful to the body. Eat a REAL Food Diet:

       Focus on nutrient-dense, natural whole foods (vegetables, fruits, wild  caught fish, free range meats and eggs, seeds and nuts).
       Increase your intake of healthy saturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids from good sources like fish, avocado, nuts, seeds, Grass-fed butter, unrefined coconut oil, Mac Nut Oil, Avocado Oil, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
       Include high-fiber foods like vegetables, flax seed, chia seeds, berries, avocado, nuts and other seeds.
       Avoid nutritional deficiencies by complementing a nutrient-dense eating plan with quality supplementation (Vitamin D3, Probiotics, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Magnesium).
       Drink plenty of water in between meals, but not during the meal as this dilutes much needed stomach acid.

Simply cutting calories and exercising more will not help reduce belly fat that is related to hormonal imbalance, stress, poor sleep and poor diet. Follow the steps outlined above and you will begin to reclaim your health, energy, vitality and zest for life.
