Dr. Camp's interest in Age Management medicine began in residency when he started noticing health declines in himself and his colleagues as well as his friends and parents. The effects of stress, chronic infections, and a toxic work environment were creating health challenges for himself and others that no standard doctor could correctly treat without using potentially toxic medications.
At that time, he began educating himself and finding mentors at numerous medical conferences, including Dr. Thierry Hertoghe, one of the world's foremost experts in Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, Dr. Eugene Shippen who is famous for Testosterone Therapy in men, as well as Dr. Jonathan Wright, and many others.
Dr. Camp was astounded to find that hormonal declines are associated with increased risks of almost all diseases, from heart disease to cancer, to many others. Dr. Camp is a firm believer that the science behind bio-identical hormone replacement is overwhelmingly positive, meaning that it is much healthier to have youthful hormone levels rather than declining hormone levels or even "average" hormone levels, as the "average" American is not necessarily an example of optimal health.
Dr. Camp's goal is to replace all of the hormones in our bodies to levels that would be expected in a healthy young adult, before most people develop chronic illnesses. Dr. Camp specializes in identifying Hormonal Deficiencies based on Physical Signs and taking a detailed history. In addition, he insists on thorough lab testing and evaluation, nutritional consultations, and lifestyle modifications. He also works to help you lose weight, eat properly to support your hormones, and remove any obstacles to achieving hormonal balance such as medications, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and chronic infections.
There are many in the traditional doctors and endocrinologists who disagree with replacing hormones in older adults, and even some who say it isn’t “natural” to do so. However, Dr. Camp and many pioneers in his field have proven that you can live healthier, happier, and longer through proper hormone replacement.
Dr. Camp trained in Family Practice at UCSF, has worked in Emergency Medicine, and has a busy clinic in Mill Valley, California. Dr. Camp grew up in Georgia and received his M.D. from Emory University School of Medicine. He attended Vanderbilt University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, graduating magna cum laude, with a focus on Anthropology and Philosophy. His interest in Hormones and thyroid diseases started in resdiency when he started searhing for the reasons underlying all of the diseases he was seeing. Now many years later, he has created a program to rejuvenate and restore hormones in a safe and effective manner.
