| As we age, our bodies produce fewer "messengers" which tell our bodies how to function, heal, reproduce and regenerate. These messengers are called hormones. A decrease in hormones begins in middle age and continues to diminish in a linear fashion through old age. As these levels decline, so do the messages or instructions to our various organs. Without these instructions organs fail to perform at optimum levels and protein synthesis that is vital to cellular repair does not take place. |  |  |
As our hormones decline so do we, both physically and mentally. We lose our energy, vitality, and health, as well as our longevity. Fortunately, this very precise, self-regulating system can be restored and replenished with the natural, bio-identical compounds that match in every way the hormones produced by the body.
Most of us think of the "change of life" as a women's issue. This is not true anymore. Men and women can benefit from the addition of hormones such as testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, melatonin and cortisol as well as estrogen and progesterone. When women have "hot flashes", decreased libido or memory lapses, this can signal an imbalance in hormones also know as menopause. Men may notice a decrease in sexual interest, erectile dysfunction, or depressive mood, symptoms associated with andropause typically caused by a decrease in testosterone and DHEA production. The goal of hormone replacement therapy is to correct the imbalance and maintain youthful hormone levels.
All prescriptions can be customized with regard to dosage form, strength, flavor, and ingredients. Many times more than one hormone is used in combination to achieve the optimal hormonal balance. Ask us how we can work with your doctor.
