Hormone Replacement Therapy

Reading Time: 6 minutes At our clinic, hormones are our expertise and we need to warn you of the increasingly diagnosed condition of hypothyroidism in the United States. The most common being, Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. What it all boils down to is a hormone imbalance, but it sometimes can be even more complex than that. Unfortunately, it’s estimated that 20 million people in the United States have hypothyroidism with the majority being women. In fact, 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid disorder in their lifetime, and approximately 10 times more women than men develop the condition. These are some scary statistics! This is...

Reading Time: 3 minutes Yes, legitimate, prescription hormone replacement therapy indeed comes with a price tag. It’s affordable for most people who need it, but it’s not cheap. But it is way cheaper – waaaay cheaper than cheaping out. How can that be? I shall explain! First, let me say this: If you’ve read this far, you’ve probably already been tested, and you know beyond any doubt that you are suffering from abnormally low levels of HGH (human growth hormone). And further, if that’s true, then it’s also true that your HGH deficiency is screwing up your life in manifold ways. For Example, tiredness...

Reading Time: 3 minutes The medical field’s views on hormone therapy have dramatically shifted in the last half-century, with advances in medical research and technology transforming the field from a last resort to a vital component of many people's healthcare regimens. In the past, hormone therapy was viewed as a controversial and risky treatment with limited efficacy and significant side effects. However, with the advent of new diagnostic tools and highly targeted therapies, hormone therapy has become a mainstream and effective way to treat a wide range of conditions, from age-related declines to hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. In the 1970s and 1980s, hormone therapy...

Reading Time: 3 minutes There are different kinds of doctors. There are generalists and specialists. Most people who are tired, listless, low energy, and losing sexual prowess start out by going to a generalist, a typical family physician. Sometimes they’ll get a referral – a permission slip, to put it in scholastic terms – that allows them to go see a specialist. But here’s the hitch: The generalist will usually only send his patients to a specialist in fields he’s already familiar with. If there’s a new field or specialty in medicine – one which has emerged from obscurity or advanced by leaps and...

Reading Time: 2 minutes For ten years, many women going through menopause have shunned hormone replacement therapy after a landmark study suggested a link between HRT and breast cancer. A new survey, published online in the medical journal BMJ, suggests a flaw in that initial study: The women in the first report started HRT at an average age of 63. The new research follows women who began HRT at the onset of menopause (the 1,006 women involved in the study were white, healthy, and aged 45-58 years old). The study found that not only was there not an increased risk of cancer for the...

Reading Time: 3 minutes ANDROPAUSE: Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testicles. Men's testosterone levels naturally decline as they age. As this happens, men may only experience a few symptoms from this lower testosterone level that they can attribute to their age. However, other individuals develop hypogonadism, a disease in which the body is unable to produce reasonable amounts of testosterone due to either a problem with the testicles or the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. Hypogonadism can cause all the symptoms associated with lower testosterone levels in men younger than would usually be seen. In the case of hypogonadism, testosterone...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Researchers have investigated the effects of a hormone named Lipocalin-2 and hypothesize that the naturally occurring hormone could be used as an effective HRT Treatment for overeating and obesity. Many people who are overweight or obese struggle with their weight because their bodies do not sufficiently trigger fullness. Medical investigators are hopeful that LCN2 Therapy could help keep appetites under control and encourage improved weight loss results. LCN2 has been studied in rodents for years, and human research is on the upswing. This hormone is produced by mice and primates (including humans) and is primarily secreted from bone cells. LCN2...

Reading Time: 2 minutes It was a decade ago many women stopped undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy, being fearful after the federal government pulled the plug on a massive ten-year study on Hormone Replacement Therapy. The study linked the hormones to cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. Now new research seems to suggest they may be safe for some women who start taking them soon after they reach menopause. A new study in the British Medical Journal suggests hormone therapy can have benefits for those in early menopause. "What's interesting about this study is it once again brings up the issue is hormone replacement...

Reading Time: 7 minutes Andropause, also known as male menopause, is the result of a gradual drop in testosterone, which is an androgen. The medical community is currently debating whether or not men go through a well-defined menopause. The condition "andropause" is currently not recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). When andropause occurs, it is considered to be a deficiency state in which the hormone testosterone drops below the normal range for an aging male. The cause of andropause is the reduction of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in middle-aged men. Testosterone assists the male body in building protein and is crucial...

Reading Time: 6 minutes The Key Role This Hormone Plays in Regulating the Reproductive System Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a vital role in controlling the reproductive system. Luteinizing Hormone is a gonadotropic hormone (the hormone responsible for stimulating the gonads and monitoring reproductive activity) that is manufactured and secreted by cells in the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating the function of the testes in men and ovaries in women. In men, LH Leydig cells in the testicles promote both testosterone and sperm production. Testosterone is also required for the development of masculine...

Reading Time: 5 minutes The third eye. The mysterious chakra center residing directly between the eyebrows. The famous French mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes described it as “the principal seat of the soul, and the place in which all our thoughts are formed.” Scientists consider it the producer of the hormone melatonin. Of all the endocrine glands, its role was the last to be understood. Regardless of what it brings to mind, all agree on its name: the Pineal Gland. The tiny gland is small (rice-sized), and is shaped like a pinecone, hence the name. It is a mere 1/3rd inch long, with a...

Reading Time: 9 minutes In our increasingly fast-paced, 24/7 connected, “do much more with much less time” society, getting a good night's sleep has, for all-too-many people become a luxury, rather than the necessity that it is.

Reading Time: 2 minutes CHICAGO -- The latest data from a long-running study of hormone therapy suggests that women who started taking hormone replacements within five years of menopause were 30 per cent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than women who started years later. The findings reported on Wednesday in the journal Neurology, add to evidence suggesting that taking hormone treatments around the time of menopause may be doing more than just helping women cope with hot flashes and night sweats. "Our results suggest that there may be a critical window near menopause where hormone therapy may be beneficial," Peter Zandi of Johns...

Reading Time: 2 minutes HGH Secretagogue: Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy Using a Pre-Cursor Secretagogue Analog (Sermorelin) A Secretagogue is a substance that promotes secretion or release. For instance, the Secretagogue for Human Growth Hormone production. The content that tells your pituitary gland to increase HGH production is GH-RH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone). Sermorelin is a polypeptide chain that mimics the effects of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone -- the substance that naturally tells your pituitary gland to increase HGH production. Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GH-RH) Therapy Sermorelin, is a Human Growth Hormone (HGH) “Secretagogue” delivered through subcutaneous Injection -- GH-RH (1-29). Growth hormone deficiency...
