Hormone Replacement Therapy & Treatment
Preventive medicine employs a proactive approach to health, based on cutting edge research and proven results that combine the following:
- Personalized nutrition
- Nutritional supplements
- Exercise physiology
- Hormone replacement therapy
As you age, frequent and regular hormone treatment should be part of your health care plan. Diet, exercise, nutritional supplements and hormone replacement therapy are essentials for successful age management.
At AAG Health, we use natural bio identical hormone medications, if medically indicated, as a preventive medical treatment to help our patients live a better healthier life for a longer period of time.
As the aging process takes place, hormones in both men and women naturally decline. By the time we reach middle age, our hormones get so low we start to experience problems that affect our mental, sexual and physical health:
- Reduced libido and sexual dysfunction
- Increased body fat and decreased muscle mass
- Fatigue and lethargy
- Depression, anxiety and irritability
- Loss of drive, creativity and self confidence
These are all issues linked to low hormones and new studies show that a deep loss of hormones can lead to bone disease, arthritis, cardiovascular problems, adult onset diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
What Exactly Are Hormones?
Hormones are our body’s chemical messengers. Some of the more familiar hormones are insulin, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, human growth hormone (HGH), progesterone and thyroid hormones. They are released by specific glands and travel in the blood to the places where they do their work.
Once hormones are released into the bloodstream they travel to particular target cells to deliver their chemical messages and cause a specific biological response. Hormones affect all aspects of body function including growth and development, tissue repair and regeneration, metabolism, reproduction and even well-being.
Hormones exist in a delicate balance and work within the cells accurately and reliably. But hormone imbalances become increasingly common with age and the link between declining hormones and the subsequent decline in our vitality, vigor and quality of life is well known.
How Can Hormone Therapy Help Me Feel Better?
Reversing a hormonal decline and boosting sub-optimal hormones back to youthful levels may be the answer to the problems you are going through.
If you are feeling “burnt out”, starting to experience “quality of life issues” or are just going through the often talked about “mid-life crisis”, call us to learn about our comprehensive medical evaluation that may show you have a hormone deficiency.
Hormone replacement therapy is not for everyone. But those who benefit see significant health and wellness improvements. After years of fatigue, lack of motivation and weight gain wouldn’t you like to feel young, lean and energized?
We live in a day and age where we can all benefit from plastic surgery, hair transplants, breast augmentations, liposuction and even teeth whitening. Hormone therapies offered by AAG Health is another treatment you should consider to maintain and improve your health and over all well-being.
Is Hormone Treatment Right For Me?
You may be a good candidate for hormone optimization with hormone replacement therapy if are experiencing the following:
- Low energy, fatigue or weakness
- Declining libido, sexual desire or erectile dysfunction
- Lack of enthusiasm, drive or motivation
- Loss of figure or muscle tone
- Poor focus or concentration
If the above apply to you then you may be living with sub-optimal hormone levels and not even know it!
AAG Health has encountered thousands of individuals who have been under diagnosed and even miss-diagnosed by their own health care providers. This happens because hormone levels are never checked in a standard blood test.
Your doctor may check your thyroid hormones at best, along with the usual blood chemistry, lipid panels and complete blood counts. But in most cases, a simple hormone panel blood test, to check HGH, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and others, is completely over looked.
Many people are living through their 40’s and 50’s with low hormones and don’t even know it. This is the period of life when we need our vigor and vitality most. We have to build our businesses and careers, provide for our families, and live an active healthy life so we can try to fend off age related disease and degenerative problems so we can enjoy our retirement.
What we are striving for is to be disease resistant, physically fit, mentally sharp and maintain self esteem so we can live well. But this is difficult to achieve with low hormones especially when we don’t even know that they are low and don’t have access to good health care to take action.
Some of our patients have lived with serious issues related to low hormone levels and then discovered they were using the wrong medications. After years of using medications for erectile dysfunction, anti-depressants, ADD/ADHD medications, synthetic ERT and others, they found no improvement to their health condition at all.
It’s interesting to note that when these patients started hormone replacement therapy and used properly prescribed hormone medications many of the problems that plagued them for years: Erectile dysfunction, low libido, depression, anxiety, fatigue and general malaise went away. Preventive treatment with hormone replacement therapies such as testosterone or hgh is an important part of age management medicine the key to living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life.
