Anti-Aging and Your Hormones

What does it mean to age? Is it judged simply by old you are, or is it determined by your physical appearance? Do you have wrinkles? Are you overweight? Have you lost your hair or is it turning grey? We live in a time where our physical appearances are held to a higher standard than in the past. Because of this, many of us fear the symptoms that come naturally with aging – like changes in your skin, hair, and weight. Aging can also be defined by how you feel. When you were younger you felt more alert, more focused, and had more energy throughout the day. Now, as you’ve aged, you may notice that you’re more sluggish, less inclined to work out or be active.

We all know there are treatments for changes in skin and hair. For example, Botox can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Other treatments can be used to remove dark spots caused by sun damage. You can always change the color of your hair to prevent your greys from coming through. But what about the lack of energy and trouble being able to focus, or the weight gain and inability to lose weight and gain muscle mass, or a change in sex drive? Many of these symptoms are caused by a hormonal imbalance.

While aging is inevitable, there are ways to help keep you feeling and looking young. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise and a supplementation regimen can help keep your body fit, strong, and healthy. Hormone replacement therapy can also help you regain a healthy sex drive, have more energy, and feel and look like your younger self again.

Hormone Replacement Therapy, also known as HRT, is an alternative therapy to help with anti-aging health and longevity. This practice is designed to help both women and men as they go through things like menopause and loss of testosterone. HRT incorporates individualized doses of hormones that emulate nearly identically those each patient had as a younger woman or younger man.

The benefit of HRT is that is can help you feel younger and healthier, as well as help with other underlying issues. It can help both men and women build lean muscle, improve sleep quality, boost metabolism, increase sex drive, increase energy levels, and more.

Is HRT right for you? If you feel tired and sluggish, have trouble sleeping, are suffering from a slowed metabolism and weight gain, lack of sex drive or any other symptoms related to a loss or change of hormones or hormonal imbalance, HRT is right for you. If you want to feel healthy and young again, and improve your quality of life, HRT is right for you.
