What can you do to delay the effects of aging? Have YOU heard the discouraging news from your doctor that many of the symptoms you have are simply things you’ll have to get used to because they are the inevitable effects of aging?
- Fatigue, decreased strength and endurance
- Reduced sex drive, performance, and satisfaction
- Impaired memory, moodiness and depression
- Weight gain, joint pain and general achiness
- Intolerance for cold or warm temperatures, more frequent colds
- Decreased creativity and motivation, problems with sleep
Physicians are still taught that the diseases of aging are inevitable, and the most we can do is diet and exercise, and develop a positive attitude about our growing fragility and decline. This is not the case!
A positive attitude, diet and exercise are all wonderful ways to enhance health, but modern research has proven that our bodies age and decline in function because many hormone levels decline, and the diseases of aging soon follow!
To restore a youthful body and good health, or to prevent damage to your health and well being, it is important to restore youthful hormone levels, and to replace and maintain vitamins and minerals that the older adult needs to keep the mind and body thriving and strong.
Replacing the hormones that decline as we age can safely help both men and women return to their youthful selves, and live longer, healthier and more productive lives. Hormone levels can vary widely from one person to the next, and so replacement should be carefully balanced and monitored based on blood levels, symptoms and treatment response.
Managing the risks of hormone replacement is also an important role of the relationship with your anti-aging physician. Taking supplements that prevent cancer and heart disease, assessing risk factors and addressing them, and treating the whole person is an essential preventive medicine principle that we practice.
