About
Dalal Akoury, MD
Dalal Akoury M.D. is a specialist in the area of Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine. Dr. Akoury specializes in advanced bioidentical hormone replacement and nutritional therapies. Dr. Akoury is in private practice with office locations in Myrtle Beach SC. She is a current member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the fellowship program in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine. Dr. Akoury has trained with the worlds leading experts in bio-identical hormone replacement, interventional endocrinology, growth hormone replacement, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid disorders, advanced nutritional therapies, and integrative, and functional medicine. Dr. Akourys practice focuses on personalized medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. After the completion of his training at Emory University, Dr. Akourys objective was to help patients resolve their medical problems by treating the symptoms as well as the disease, through standard pharmaceutical treatments and surgical procedures. Like so many of her colleagues, she set about her practice and dutifully applied these treatments as she was taught. But there were still nagging questions that remained why did so many patients continue to have only modest success in treating and curing illness? Why were so many of the most common illnesses on the rise diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, to name a few? What Dr. Akoury discovered was that the outcomes for her patients dramatically improved when they were balanced physiologically as a whole. In other words, patients, when treated with a strong emphasis on prevention and a search for the cause of the problem, would have greatly improved results. Specifically, these preventive treatments involve the application of bioidentical (exactly identical to the hormones that you and I make) hormone therapies and advanced nutritional therapies. These therapies are effective in augmenting traditional approaches to disorders such as adrenal fatigue/stress, allergies, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, breast cancer prevention, cardiovascular protection, cholesterol (too high or low), cellular nutritional deficiencies, constipation, gas/bloating, decreased exercise endurance, depression/mood disorders, diabetes/elevated sugar, fatigue, erectile dysfunction (ED), hair loss (men and women), migraine headaches, high blood pressure, immune disorders/increased infections, indigestion, infertility, inflammatory disorders, insomnia, irritability, memory loss, menstrual irregularities, osteoporosis, polycystic ovaries, PMS, postpartum depression, prostate enlargement, sex drive/low libido, spinal disorders/back pain/failed back syndrome, dermatological disorders/premature aging, sports injuries, tissue laxity/premature facial and body aging, and overall improvement of wellness. Most importantly, these treatments are described in the evidence-based medical literature. What that means is that these treatments are NOT experimental and they have been applied successfully and safely to patients just like you. An abundance of research now supports the view that the human body functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than individual systems functioning autonomously and without effect on each other. Dr. Akoury and her staff are committed to remaining on the forefront of research and advancements in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine in order to improve the quality of her patients lives with optimal health, vitality, and well-being.
