About 35% of the women that I see in my practice are premenopausal and in the 30-50 age group. The majority tell me that they can’t lose weight, are sleeping poorly, are more irritable, have less energy, have low sex drives and are starting to get irregular periods. Unfortunately, this will happen to women at some point in their life before 50 and is due to hormone imbalance. Fortunately, doctors who are trained in bio-identical hormone replacement can easily help these women by balancing the hormonal fluctuations they are experiencing. 1. What are the main hormone imbalances in premenopausal women?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels peak in adolescence and early adulthood and start to rapidly decline after the age of 30. This decline is associated with an increase in body fat, loss of muscle mass, thinning of the skin, cognitive decline and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. There are numerous published studies that demonstrate that replacing HGH levels to the optimal range reduces all of the above and increases overall quality of life. Physicians are now using human growth hormone peptides and secretagogues to boost levels in men and women as an alternative to injecting HGH which is

At some point in life, every male will start to notice the signs and symptoms of low testosterone. They will notice a decline in energy, decrease in strength and endurance, difficulty losing fat, a drop in libido, less than optimal erections, and changes in their mood. For most men this starts to happen in their late 30’s and 40’s, but I see more and more men in their twenties who have symptoms of low testosterone and when I check their levels they are in the bottom quartile of the normal range or even deficient. For these younger males, using human
When it comes to making a decision of whether or not to start using testosterone replacement, it is important you arm yourself with medical facts based on peer reviewed published literature. More and more evidence supports the safety and health benefits of using testosterone replacement to treat the symptoms of andropause (fatigue, reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, increased body fat, decreased lean body mass). In doing so many patients are not aware that they reduce their risks of dying from all causes by 25-50% (Journal of American Heart Association, 2013). I see hundreds of men in my practice
