Maintaining hormone balance is key for health and well-being as we age. When hormones decline, the risk increases for fatigue, sexual dysfunction, depression, weight gain, muscle loss, and more. Anti-aging treatments can safely and effectively restore optimal hormone levels to slow aging and help patients look and feel their best.
At Invigorate Medical, we specialize in anti-aging hormone therapy using cutting-edge therapies to promote longevity, vitality, and quality of life. Read on to learn all about the benefits of treatment and why it's so important to address hormone imbalance early on.
The first step is always obtaining the right information through lab testing. At our clinic, we go beyond the standard panels to uncover the root causes of imbalance. We check key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, thyroid, and more based on your unique needs.
Understanding lab results allows us to create fully customized plans to restore balance. With the right diagnosis and vigilant monitoring, our patients see excellent responses to therapy for optimal aging.
We invite you to schedule a consultation to see how our anti-aging solutions can help you enjoy better health and slow the aging process.
There are several delivery methods for anti-aging hormone therapy:
The route that is best depends on your hormone levels, preferences, lifestyle, and more. During your initial visit, we thoughtfully consider all factors to choose the optimal modalities for your needs.
There are several vital hormones that decline with age and lead to undesirable effects. Below is more on the most important ones we commonly address at Invigorate Medical:
This crucial sex hormone goes down about 1% per year for men after age 30. Low levels lead to:
Testosterone therapy has been safely and effectively used since the 1940s for anti-aging purposes. When levels are optimized, men report feeling 10-15 years younger!
For women over 40, estrogen starts to decline, leading to menopause. This hormone is vital for:
Estrogen replacement eases menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. It also prevents accelerated aging and osteoporosis in later years.
The thyroid is the master gland that controls metabolism. An underactive one leads to weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, depression, and more age-related declines.
Checking this hormone is crucial, as 13 million Americans have undiagnosed thyroid conditions. Getting levels optimized prevents unnecessary suffering.
DHEA is an adrenal hormone tied to energy, immunity, cognition, and longevity. Levels peak around age 25, then decline, leaving people more vulnerable to stress and disease.
Supplementing DHEA is an important anti-aging tactic, as studies show it may extend lifespan by 10 or more years!
While hormone therapy provides enormous benefits, certain lifestyle measures further support healthy aging:
Eating a nutritious whole foods diet high in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats provides the nutrients needed for cells to function optimally. Staying adequately hydrated is also key.
Regular physical activity keeps the heart strong, bones resilient, muscles toned, and mental health resilient. Aim for 150 minutes a week of moderate activity plus some strength training. Yoga and Tai Chi are excellent for flexibility and balance.
Finding healthy ways to cope with life's inevitable stressors is vital for well-being. Make time for relaxing activities like meditation, deep breathing, enjoyable hobbies, social connection, therapy, or journaling when needed.
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep allows the body to fully rest and repair. Make sleep a priority by having a consistent bedtime routine that prepares the body for restful slumber.
Following an anti-aging lifestyle provides the foundation needed for hormone treatments to work their best!
There are many myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Here are some common ones dispelled:
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| HRT is unsafe | When correctly dosed under medical supervision, risks are very low |
| HRT causes cancer | No evidence for this. Estrogen treatment may benefit certain cancers |
| Too expensive | Annual costs less than some cell phone bills. Health is an invaluable investment |
| One size fits all approach | We customize plans based on symptoms and lab testing |
| Quick fix | Works gradually over months. Patience and compliance are needed |
| Men only need testosterone | Balancing T along with thyroid, DHEA, etc., is best |
| Anti-aging is vain | Addressing age-related loss of vitality promotes wellness |
There are pros and cons to each method of hormone administration:
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Injections | Most direct absorption | Frequent needle sticks |
| Creams | Easy to apply | Daily requirement |
| Gels | Very effective | Potential transference |
| Pellets | Long-acting | Minor surgery |
| Patches | Sustained release | Site reaction |
| Supplements | Help the body produce more | Not prescription |
