About James Nagel, MD

From Internal Medicine to Hormone Therapy

My name is Dr. James Nagel, and I am the proud owner of this practice. I bring over two decades of experience in the field of Anti-Aging and Rejuvination, and am eager to help you find real solutions to your real problems. You’re probably wondering how I went from Internal Medicine to Hormone Therapy and why I’m so passionate about it. Let’s unpack it together.

HOW I CAME HOME TO HORMONE THERAPY

After completing medical school and residency, I naively believed that I had the solutions to everyone’s health problems.

It didn’t take me long to reach the humbling realization that I had virtually no real answers to the majority of the issues that my female patients presented. It was a bit like whack-a-mole. I’d address one issue, only for another to pop up sending them back to me again and again. The conventional system trained me to believe that many of the functional problems patients experienced could be solved by using anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medications, and sleeping pills.

My practice began slowly evolving with a specific focus on health creation rather than disease management. I integrated the principles of functional, anti-aging, regenerative, and lifestyle medicine into my practice. This transformation was strongly influenced by mentors such as Drs. Pamela Smith, Neil Rouzier, Ron Rothenberg, Terry Hertoghe, Diane Schwartzbein, Sherman Nagel, Lawrence Longo, and many others, including T. S. Wiley.

Sheer luck introduced me to anti-aging medicine approximately 22 years ago.

Most of my mentors had their own unique approach to hormone replacement therapy

Being a novice in hormone therapies over two decades ago, I tried all the different approaches. Through careful clinical field research involving thousands of patients, I eventually learned what worked and what didn’t. After years of field research in the hands-on approach to True Physiologic Rejuvenation, the principles behind my approach to hormone balancing were developed.
