Understanding Hormone Decline
and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
It is widely acknowledged within the medical and scientific communities that several hormones decline as we age, and these declines can contribute to various symptoms and manifestations of aging. Women experience menopause due to a significant decrease in estrogen and progesterone Replacement Therapy production, while men go through andropause primarily caused by declining testosterone levels. Other hormones that decline and have been extensively documented include growth hormone and DHEA, with their decline starting earlier and progressing more gradually. At our clinic, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) Testosterone to counter these hormone declines with therapeutic levels of hormone replacement.
