Recent studies have shown that the lack of hormones causes accelerated aging and not the other way round.
When we were young, hormone level tend to be high, accounting for, among other things, menstruation in women and high libido in both sexes. With advanced age, lower levels of hormones can have disastrous effects on the way our bodies function.
The growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, melatonin and thyroid all have specific functions and activities both alone and in conjunction with other hormones.
The shortage of these hormones accelerates the aging process. Hormones are vital for repairing and regulating our bodily functions, and when aging causes a drop in hormone production, it causes a decline in our body’s ability to repair and regulate itself. Moreover, hormone production is highly interactive. The drop in production of any one hormone is likely to have an effect on the whole mechanism, signaling other organ organs to release lower levels of yet other hormones.
Thus, hormone replacement therapy, a frequent component of any anti-aging treatment, helps to reset the body hormonal clock and so can reverse or delay the effects of aging. If our hormones are being produced at youthful levels, the cells of our bodies are stimulated to be metabolically active; thus, we stay young.
BIHRT - Bio-Identical Hormone replacement therapy gets your life back in balance, naturally. Compounded and distributed through Aptomed, BIHRT topical creams and capsules work to correct hormonal deficiencies that can be present from birth using only natural plant based ingredients.
Hormones play an important role in therapeutic issues as well as issues of general wellness. Men and women from any age may be affected by symptoms of hormonal decline. Some of these effects include low energy, low libido, slow cognitive function, decreased well-being, depression, weight gain, muscle loss, and even osteoporosis. In addition, women may suffer from hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. For starters, BIHRT can be used to deal with issues relating to the onset of adolescence like acne or mood swings.
Those in their 20s & 30s might be aided by BIHRT in dealing with post partum depression, night sweats and infertility. In addition, BIHRT can help alleviate bloating, PMS, migraines, breast tenderness, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, decreased attention span, and weight gain. For those in their 40s and beyond, sleep disorders, migraines, hair loss, hot flashes, depression, decreased bone mass, bloating weight gain, and low libido can be treated with BIHRT.
Basically, BIHRT can be used under supervision at any age through the proper evaluation of hormone deficiency documented with lab investigations.
