Some common signs of low testosterone in aging men include:
As women go through menopause, they may experience symptoms like:
Treatment can reduce these symptoms by 70-90% for many women.
Correcting hormone deficiencies through replacement therapy can provide wide-ranging benefits for both men and women experiencing the effects of aging.
Balancing key hormones using bioidentical hormones therapy (BHRT) often leads to notable improvements in energy. Testosterone therapy for men, and estrogen replacement for women, enhances vitality. Thyroid hormone optimization also reduces fatigue.
Imbalances in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid can negatively impact mood. Optimizing hormones levels often lifts mood, reduces anxiety and irritability, and protects cognitive function.
Testosterone is key for building lean muscle in men. Raising testosterone into a healthy range helps men regain muscle mass that is naturally lost with aging. This also strengthens bones and improves physical functioning.
For women going through menopause, customized hormone replacement therapy can reduce symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep issues by up to 90%. This also helps moods, energy levels, sexual health and cognition.
Along with supporting increased muscle and bone density, balanced hormones help regulate fat burning and storage. This makes it easier to get rid of excess fat and maintain a healthier body composition.
Age-related hormone decline negatively impacts libido and sexual health for both women and men. Through replacement therapy, hormones can be restored to levels that enhance sex drive, performance, pleasure and overall reproductive health.
Research shows hormones affect virtually all body systems and functions. Keeping hormones balanced with replacement therapy can lead to better health as you age across measures like body composition, bone density, heart health, metabolism, immune function, and mortality risk.
In summary, proper testing and treatment of age-related hormone deficiencies provides anti-aging benefits across energy, mood, mental clarity, sexual health, fitness and general vitality. Consult an anti aging clinic like Hormone Optimal Care to see if treatment is right for you.
If testing confirms a hormone deficiency, Hormone Optimal Care offers customized treatment plans to help patients restore balance. Here is some background on the basics of therapy.
We use carefully-crafted bioidentical hormones that match the natural hormones made in the human body. This makes them safer and more easily processed than synthetic versions. Common hormones we replace include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid and DHEA.
There are various methods to deliver bioidentical hormones, including:
Hormone Optimal Care determines the optimal delivery method per patient.
We closely track patient symptoms and perform follow-up blood tests to ensure hormone levels are reaching optimal ranges. The dosage or delivery method may need periodic adjustments to account for changes as patients age.
There is no specific end point for hormone replacement therapy. Regular treatment enables sustained relief as the body continues to experience age-related decline. We work with patients long-term to come up with changing plans over time for keeping hormones balanced.
It is crucial not to ignore signs and symptoms related to changes in hormone balance as you age. Getting timely testing and starting customized bioidentical therapy when deficiencies occur provides the best results.
Studies show that the longer hormone levels decline without treatment, the higher risks grow for issues like heart disease, osteoporosis, and more. Replacing key hormones sooner improves outcomes.
Research indicates the body may become less responsive to hormone therapy over time if deficiencies persist untreated for years at sub-optimal levels. Seeking treatment after recent onset of imbalance may enhance results.
Letting hormone levels progressively fall out of balance interferes with biological processes that affect wellbeing on many fronts - from energy to sexual health to body composition. Restoring balance sooner leads to an improved daily quality of life.
Overall, recognizing and properly treating hormone deficiencies earlier on using bioidentical therapy provides anti-aging benefits and reduces risks from prolonged imbalance. Hormone Optimal Care seeks to inform patients on risks, perform prompt testing at onset of symptoms, and start customized treatment right away if low levels are detected.
