A large and rapidly growing body of scientific evidence demonstrates that a number of hormones decline with aging, and that these declines can result in many of the manifestations of aging.
The first to be recognized, of course, is the precipitous decline in estrogen and progesterone production in women called 'menopause.' This is most likely because of the signaling of ovarian failure by the absence of menstruation, infertility, and relatively acute symptoms such as hot flushes.
The other hormones that are well-documented to decline are testosterone in men (and, interestingly, women), growth hormone, and the adrenal hormone DHEA. The decline in these hormones starts much earlier and is more gradual; however, because of the analogy with menopause, the terms andropause, somatopause, and adrenopause have been adopted. Melatonin also declines in many individuals, but a term describing this phenomenon has not been adopted.
The blood levels of other hormones can actually increase with aging. Tissue resistance to insulin can result in an increase in fasting levels and the levels in response to a meal. This can lead to an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Similarly, our bodies' response to stress can result in prolonged elevations of cortisol, which can cause wreak havoc on body composition, brain function and immune system function.
At PhysioAge Medical Group, we believe that the goal of health care ought to be exactly that—care of your health, not only prevention and treatment of disease. Our mission, therefore, is to provide the most advanced, scientifically-validated diagnostics and therapeutics available to help women and men feel and look as healthy as possible as they grow older.
Our patients receive a comprehensive assessment of the health of each major physiological system and then a tailored program of exercise, diet, nutritional supplements, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to slow, and in some cases, reverse the decline in their physiological age.
We treat perimenopause, menopause and low testosterone (andropause) using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, and antioxidant vitamins.
