Hormones and Aging
Second only to stress, the gradual decline of the hormone system of the body, that starts in the late 20’s, determines the rate at which we age. There is a well accepted saying in medicine “hormone do not decline because we age – rather -- we age because hormones decline”. This realization is relatively new to medical science. Ask your self this question: at what age in your life did you feel your best, most vital, most optimistic? For most people, the answer will be somewhere between 20 and 30 years of age. Remember how life sparkled with vibrancy, color and passion? You woke every morning with the energy to climb You can’t turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again. The effect of hormones in the aging process has fostered a whole new field of medicine called “Anti-aging Medicine” or “Age Management”. The terms reflect the realization that people now have a choice in how they age. The term, “age gracefully” is a thing of the past. Here is how it works. The key hormones, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA and humane growth hormone (HGH) are tested by an anti-aging trained physician. These hormones are replaced to levels the body had when it was at its healthiest – age 25 to 30. Along with good lifestyle these changes result in a turning back of the biological clock. Anti-aging medicine is now been in existence for about 10 years -- long enough to know that it is effective, safe and above all, healthy. We have also been in existence for about 10 years. We have grown and led the way in Anti-aging Hormone Treatment specializing in men. |
