Anti-Aging Medicine and Bio-Identical Hormones

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty aimed at the early detection, prevention, treatment and reversal of age-related decline. It's a rather new medical specialty and board certification process. The goal of anti-aging medicine is to promote "healthy aging" and to prolong the "healthspan" of an individual so that more years are spent in good health.  Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is one of the primary tools used in anti-aging medicine. 

The aging process does not have to be a series of losses; loss of mobility, loss of energy, loss of interest in sex, loss of memory and loss of your body.  Aging does not have to be the downward spiral you may have witnessed in your own parents and grandparents. Rather, it should be the phase of your life where you are looking forward, forward to everything you have worked hard to enjoy and forward to new opportunities. It is possible to maintain health and vitality throughout the lifespan.

Adequate hormone levels are an essential part of health, vitality and longevity. When hormone levels decline with menopause (women) and andropause (men), it triggers a deterioration in cellular function, aging and the onset of chronic disease.  Hormone replacement therapy may not be a cure for dying, but it makes life longer, more exciting and much more fulfilling!

Bio-identical hormones can be used in patients (men and women) across the lifespan. By the time a woman reaches her 40s, she has half as much testosterone in her body that she had in her 20s and 30s. Perimenopause in women can be a process that spans an entire decade and is characterized by low progesterone levels. Men are experiencing deficiencies in their testosterone levels as early as their 30s. The Standard American Diet, lack of sleep and exercise and high stress levels have a direct impact on hormone levels in both men and women. These hormonal deficiencies can drive weight gain, anxiety, depression, fatigue and poor sleep patterns. 

 Testing for and detecting hormonal imbalances (estrogen dominance, PCOS, PMS, menstrual irregularity, perimenopause, menopause, andropause) and correcting these deficiencies through the use of bio-identical hormones, improves a patient’s quality of life and functionality.
