Hormone levels inevitably decline as a man or woman ages. Production of hormones by the body tends to decline -- and become imbalanced -- as we age, and as a result we begin to feel less well and less vigorous. Bioidentical hormone therapy is designed to replenish the hormones that you need to feel good and function at your best! Hormone deficiencies occurs when the production of natural hormones decline in aging adults sometime after the age of 30. Menopause in women and andropause in men are terms for medical conditions that are usually associated with low and imbalanced hormone levels. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the process by which vital hormones like human growth hormone, estrogen and testosterone are replaced on a prescribed schedule to mimic the body's natural process. Bioidentical hormones are natural -- usually plant-based -- substances that have an identical molecular structure and chemical composition as the hormones naturally produced by your body. By contrast, synthetic hormones have intentionally different molecular structures: drug companies can't patent a molecule produced naturally by the human body, so they design synthetic hormones that are molecularly different and therefore patentable -- Premarin, Prempro, and Provera being the most obvious and … Continue reading →

As we age, even as early as age 30, our internal production of hormones can start to decline. Initially the effects are subtle and vary between individuals. But as we head toward middle age most of us experience adverse symptoms. Symptoms of low hormones vary with the actual hormone that is low. But many deficiencies overlap, for example weight gain can occur from hypoactive thyroid as well as in menopause and andropause. Men with low testosterone and women with low estrogen may also have low DHEA and need treatment for both.

by WHAS11 editors WHAS11.com Posted on July 11, 2014 at 7:18 AM Updated yesterday at 6:38 PM LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The top two factors that put you at risk for developing breast cancer are being a woman and age. Unfortunately, you can't do anything about either of those factors, but how you deal with them could play a role in your risk as well. "Nobody in my family ever talked about this. That's one thing about my generation, us Baby Boomers, we are talking about this stuff. maybe we're a little spoiled because we want to feel better like [snap] that, but it really came down to a quality of life issue," Dr. Mindy Warren, hormone replacement therapy patient, said. For July's WHAS11 Buddy Check sponsored by KentuckyOne Health, we're talking about hormone replacement therapy. It's something more than half of post-menopausal women use to fight symptoms like hot flashes, but it also increases your risk of developing breast cancer. Coming up Friday during the 4 p.m. newscast, WHAS11's Kelsey Starks will have much more with Mindy, who's mother died of breast cancer, and her decision about using hormone replacement therapy.

After seven weeks of hypnotic relaxation therapy, a 69-year-old man who had uncontrolled hot flashes following prostate cancer surgery showed a drastic decrease not only in hot flashes but also an impressive improvement in sleep quality, according to the study. The Baylor study funded by the National Institutes of Health is published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. Men are more reluctant to report hot flashes, and its not as prevalent. There are fewer ways to deal with it, said study author Gary Elkins, Ph.D., director of Baylors Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory and a professor of psychology and neuroscience in Baylors College of Arts & Sciences. If a guy has hot flashes, you cant say, Well, why dont we put you on estrogen? But its a pressing problem." Mens hot flashes are, of course, not … Continue reading →

Hormones can help bones in cases of ovary insufficiency Hormone replacement therapy in young women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) led to increases in their bone mineral density, restoring levels to normal, according to new federally funded research. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, may provide important treatment information for women with POI and their physicians. Researchers at the NIH examined scans of the hip and lower spine to determine the effects of hormone treatment on bone mineral density of women with POI. Spontaneous POI, which affects 1 in 100 women by age 40, occurs when the ovaries stop producing sufficient estrogen in the absence of a known cause, such as anorexia, chromosome abnormality or chemotherapy. It is typically characterized by irregular or absent menstrual cycles, hot flashes and fertility problems. Women with POI have reduced bone mineral density, which can lead to osteoporosis and bone fractures.
