Common Questions & Answers

Is Age Management Just Prescribing Hormones?
Another myth is that Age Management just means prescribing hormones. While hormones (thyroid, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, Human Growth Hormone (HGH), melatonin) do play a key role in aging as well as in disease prevention, there are many other factors at play.

If you’re like most people, levels of key hormones begin to decline in your late 20s to early 30s (Note to women: this is way before menopause!). And some hormones, like melatonin, start to fall as early as your late teens. So a key component of Age Management is restoring the hormones that are declining as we age to levels that are associated with the highest quality of life and lowest incidence of bodily decline and degenerative diseases.

So in addition to prescribing hormones, we also do this by focusing on other key areas that affect hormone production or decline:

Nutrition: When you think about it, virtually every cell in your body gets its building blocks from what you eat. There are certain types of foods and patterns of eating that optimize hormone production and utilization.
Exercise: We make personalized exercise recommendations to optimize hormone production and your body’s use of key hormones to burn fat, preserve lean muscle mass, and prevent degeneration.
Lifestyle: Factors like stress and sleep play a key role in determining where your hormone levels are. Both poor sleep and chronic stress (mental and physical) increase the levels of fat-storing, disease progressing hormones (insulin, cortisol, etc.) and decrease the levels of fat-burning, disease preventing hormones (thyroid, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, Human Growth Hormone (HGH), etc.). We’ll help you optimize these areas of your life as well.

So What About Prescribing Hormones?
Even if you’re eating right, exercising right, and have a low stress lifestyle, you will experience a drop in key hormones as you get older. This is called age-related hormonal decline. Either the cells that produce hormones are dying off, or the enzymes that convert less active forms of hormones to their more active forms, are working less efficiently. This loss is what takes away the look and feel of being young and leaves you more susceptible to chronic degenerative disease. This is when individualized, targeted hormone therapy is used. Optimizing your hormone levels is key in increasing your quality of life and level of functioning as well as decreasing your risk of degeneration, decline, and disease.
