Believe it or not, aging is directly related to a deficiency in hormones. Labeled as Adult Hormone Deficiency Syndrome (AHDS), this condition affects both men and women.
Hormone deficiencies affect the entire system and symptoms include a diminished sex drive (lack of libido), mood swings, weight gain and accumulation of fat, reduction in muscle mass and strength, memory loss, fatigue and lack of endurance, bone degradation, loss of skin elasticity, comprimised collagen accumulation and joint flexibility, and other conditions related to impaired immune system.
Studies at Harvard University, the Mayo Clinic and many other prestigious research institutions have documented positive effects from Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy on Adult Hormone Deficiency Syndrome (AHDS).
Natural hormone therapy is a science that optimizes hormones that are no longer being adequately produced by the body.
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many different functions of our body systems. They are at optimal levels during the reproductive years and then begin to decline.
As those hormone levels decline, we begin to age.
By recharging the hormones it is possible to maintain metabolic and endocrine functions at optimal levels so that each individual can benefit from a healthy and vigorous life.
Adult Hormone Deficiency Syndrome can affect anyone at any age.
The most common symptoms include decreased energy, reduced sex drive, loss of muscle and physique, increased body fat and weight gain, mood swings, depression and brain fog.
Women in menopause may have hot flashes and men in andropause may have erectile dysfunction.
Although there are many products on the market that are supposed to help, using them indiscriminately can do more harm than good.
A better way to deal with the decline in hormones is to conduct laboratory testing to determine hormone levels and then design a specific program for the individual.
The benefit is that a specially designed nutritional and hormone replacement program can bring things to an optimal level.
Hormones that need to be measured include all the ovarian, adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary hormones (including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and growth hormone).
Once measured, bio identical hormone replacement therapy medications can be made by a compounding pharmacy and be monitored by the physician.
Natural Hormone Therapy or Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy can replace the hormones your body normally loses with identical hormones at levels when many of us may have been in a healthier stage at an earlier time in life.
These hormones come from plant sources and can replace those normally present inside your body which results in re-balancing and restoration.
A complete program of anti-aging therapy includes age management systems of natural hormone therapy in conjuction with diet changes, exercise, and life style modifications.
Through a good age management systems, AMC clients can expect an increase in energy level, sexual drive and interest, a reduction in body fat, an increase in lean muscle, improved physique, better cognitive function.
In addition, improved bone health, lower cholesterol, improved skin conditions and a decrease in wrinkles, better ability to handle stress, memory enhancement, an enhanced feeling of well being, better immune function, and an improvement in aerobic capacity are just some of the benefits.
