The human body changes as we age. Hormone levels start declining in our 20s and 30s, leading to undesirable effects like weight gain, fatigue, loss of strength and stamina, reduced libido, poor sleep, and mood changes.
BoldAs we get older, levels of key hormones like testosterone, HGH (human growth hormone), estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, melatonin, and thyroid start to drop. These changes contribute to many issues associated with aging like sagging skin, muscle loss, weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep, reduced mental sharpness, and much more. Hormone optimization therapy can help counteract many of these effects.
There are several reasons why hormone levels fall as part of the natural aging process:
Restoring declining hormones to more youthful levels through hormone replacement therapy and optimization protocols can provide anti-aging and rejuvenation effects.
Here are some common signs that your hormones may be out of balance. If you are experiencing any of these, hormone testing and optimization therapy may help:
BoldHormone treatments aim to restore declining hormones like testosterone, HGH, DHEA thyroid hormones to more youthful levels. This can provide many anti-aging and rejuvenation benefits:
Balancing key hormones revitalizes the body, increases energy production in cells, and reduces fatigue. BoldHormone optimization therapy can help restore youthful energy levels and stamina.
Age-related hormone decline is linked to reduced brain function. Optimizing hormones, especially growth hormone and testosterone, enhances mental clarity and ability to focus and concentrate.
Lower anabolic hormones leads to loss of muscle tissue. Normalizing hormones helps rebuild and maintain lean muscle mass and strength.
Hormone imbalances contribute significantly to increased belly fat as we age. Hormone replacement therapy helps mobilize stored body fat, making weight loss easier.
Balancing hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins helps stabilize mood, reduces anxiety and irritability, and increases motivation.
Declining melatonin and other hormone disruptions lead to poor sleep. Optimizing hormonal balance facilitates deeper, more restful sleep.
Growth hormones and collagen stimulation improves skin thickness and elasticity. Skin becomes firmer and facial wrinkles are reduced.
Declines in key sex hormones reduces libido and sexual performance. Normalizing these hormones restores sex drive and function in both men and women.
Hormone optimization therapy can allow patients to look and feel 10-15 years younger or more!
There are a several key components that form the foundation of a science-based anti-aging hormone restoration program:
The starting point is diagnosing specific hormone imbalances through blood testing. This identifies optimization needs and opportunities unique for each patient.
For treatment, bioidentical hormones are used which are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally in the body. This provides the most physiologically normal results.
Based on diagnostic testing, custom hormone balancing programs using bioidentical hormones are created for each unique patient for optimal benefits.
Changes in lifestyle, diet, exercise and stress require ongoing adaptation of programs. Follow up testing tracks progress and programs are adjusted accordingly.
When these fundamental principles are properly applied, significant anti-aging and rejuvenation results are achieved more safely and effectively.
Here is an overview of some of the primary hormone balancing protocols provided at HormoVital:
Human growth hormone (HGH) declines significantly with age. Low HGH is implicated in weight gain and muscle loss. Restoring youthful growth hormone levels reverses many aging effects. HGH therapy can be delivered via daily injections or transdermal patches and gels.
Testosterone decline contributes to loss of muscle tone, strength, virility and physical/mental energy. Carefully restoring testosterone to healthy levels in men provides anti-aging benefits. Testosterone is available in injectables, gels and pellets.
Declining estrogen and altering estrogen/progesterone balance in women leads to hot flashes, sleep disruption, weight gain, mood issues and loss of collagen. Bioidentical estrogen/progesterone therapy helps balance hormones for anti-aging benefits. Available options include oral supplements, compounded creams or gels.
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism leading to fatigue and weight gain. Balancing thyroid hormones energizes the body and helps manage a healthy weight. Pharmaceutical grade thyroid medications can optimize thyroid function.
HormoVital creates fully personalized optimization programs based on each patient's unique hormone balance needs for anti-aging and vitality.
Certain anti-aging skin creams contain an antioxidant called kinetin that is derived from plants and has been shown in studies to help reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, moisture, and elasticity. However, more research is still needed to fully verify its long-term safety and effectiveness.
It’s important to monitor hormone levels regularly from your late 30s onward and not just dismiss symptoms as “normal aging”. Addressing declining hormones early on provides more significant anti-aging and preventative effects versus waiting until you have already lost muscle mass, gained considerable body fat or start experiencing more serious issues.
The doctors at HormoVital specialize in detailed hormonal testing and analysis to diagnose specific deficiencies and imbalances earlier on. This allows prompt, personalized treatment to restore optimal balance and guard against many aging issues. Through periodic retesting and program adaptation, biological age can be turned back significantly.
Don’t wait until hormone issues have already taken hold. Schedule testing now with HormoVital to get ahead of age-related hormone decline. Our anti-aging therapy programs help restore your vitality and literally turn back time!
