Biltmore Restorative Medicine

Dr. George Ibrahim, author of “Sailing Through Menopause Without Losing a Rudder,” is a a graduate of Duke University’s School of Medicine and Davidson College. He is a board-certified Urologist and has completed a fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

He has decades of experience in both women’s health and men’s health. His practice, Biltmore Restorative Medicine, is perfect for individuals seeking treatments to defy aging and improve vitality.

Here’s a little more from Dr. Ibrahim:

“Ten years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Rather than put patients at risk, I retired as a surgeon. My love of medicine and helping others stayed with me throughout my time away from the operating room.

I opened our anti-aging and sexual wellness center in Asheville early 2013. My goal was simple; to be the most highly trained, experienced physician practicing hormone optimization, period. The practice later added state of the art, physician-led aesthetic services as our patients demanded them.

Because of my extensive experience, I am able to help my clients beyond typical hormone replacement therapy. I am an educator-speaking on the dangers of menopause, andropause, and how hormone optimization is the most natural and safest way to lower risks of cardiac disease, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and many other ailments. I work with patients looking for a physician-supported weight loss program by using hormones in a way that optimizes workouts and energy levels.

I’ve diagnosed prostate cancer in a number of patients who would have otherwise gone completely undetected, or where detection could have been delayed by years. My background allows me to detect symptoms in men, sending them directly to a practicing urologist who can confirm the diagnosis and take swift measures to treat this devastating cancer before it can cause harm.

We also offer tailored hormone treatment to women with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence. We perform a procedure in the office, under local anesthesia, using the body’s own growth factors. This procedure has helped patients see significant improvement, if not cessation, of their incontinence.

In 2015, to honor our mission of offering our clients a complete restorative experience, we re-branded the practice to become Biltmore Restorative Medicine and Aesthetics.

Our approach at Biltmore Restorative Medicine & Aesthetics looks at the patient as a whole. We don’t focus on just one specific part of the body or disease, but rather take a comprehensive approach in our evaluations.

Our services are equivalent only to those offered in larger metropolitan areas like Charlotte and Atlanta.

We can’t wait to help you feel like YOU again!

SAILING THROUGH MENOPAUSE WITHOUT LOSING A RUDDER

Menopause is a naturally occurring event that happens to women as they age. It marks the end of a women’s reproductive life and, at times, can mark the beginning of a number of health problems such as inconsistent cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, uncomfortable sex, headaches, memory loss, difficulty sleeping, loss of bladder control, heart palpitations, dizziness, and weight gain.

This book is intended to help women transition through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Sailing Through Menopause will help you understand what causes menopausal symptoms and what you can do to minimize or alleviate the troublesome conditions associated with your journey through menopause.
