HORMONE INFORMATION

Hormone Balance, as it turns out is the most critical component to overall health managing your aging. With a skilled approach to testing and treatment with HRT, your hormones can be placed in balance to support every gland and function critical to your health and quality of life. By the age of 30 hormones begin to decline. It is a natural process that for many years was thought to never have a solution. We are now learning the with HRT we can bring our hormones back to their peaks and rejuvenate our lives.

As we age we routinely and progressively diminish important hormone levels that keep us young and vital. Many of the common complaints or normal aging including Menopause, Pre-Menopause and Andropause (the male equivalent to diminishing hormone levels) can be modified, improved or even reversed with a Hormone Replacement Therapy. But in order to begin a HRT regime you must take the first step in controlling your hormones by testing your hormone levels.

As you approach the age of 35, your hormone levels start to decline, often triggering a whole host of annoying symptoms. Replacing the loss of your hormones with hormone supplements can alleviate these problems which may include hot flashes, loss of libido, mood swings, sleep disturbances and fuzzy thinking. The risk of heart disease and osteoporosis (bone loss) also rises as your hormone levels fall, and hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, seems to help with that too, cutting your chances of a heart attack or a bone fracture in half. It may even save you from colon cancer and prevent or delay the confusion and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.
