According to common knowledge, the central control headquarters of our endocrine system – hypothalamus - are supposed to wear down and slow down with age. This slowing down is causing secreted hormone levels to decrease, deteriorating functionality of all our organs and individual cells.
Although man's hormones decline more gradually, men face very similar challenges as women. This deterioration produces most common symptoms of aging we usually notice, are concerned and complain about.
What we can do to keep our Endocrine system in shape while aging
Complaining usually doesn’t help, so we want to either replace lost or diminished hormones, or make healthy changes to our Anti Aging Lifestyle and Anti Aging Diet providing better environment for our bodies for more effective performance.
As a part of our lifestyle changes we need to pay special attention to stress in our lives.
The proper anti aging lifestyle rules can significantly improve health of our endocrine system, slowing down the process of losing hormone levels, and our aging. You should use the link just above to see these rules.
Mainstream medicine solutions and consequences we never want to experience
It looks easy enough to get a prescription from our mainstream doctor to replace at least some lost hormones. Not long ago some pharmaceutical firms made billions in profits, selling Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) - horse estrogen and patented “space alien” progestins based products.
Hundreds of thousands of women were left with very serious and often deadly side effects after this “creative” selling.
BHRT - Bio-Identical Hormone replacement therapy
The other approach to a Hormone Replacement Therapy would be using natural - Bio-Identical Therapy – (BHRT).
BHRT doesn’t have as many side effects, and it also has an ability to improve functionality of our organs, making us feel better. Unfortunately, by the latest science BHRT doesn’t improve practically anything on a cellular level. Because of that it hardly does enough to slow down our aging.
Also, as of this time even this BHRT wasn’t researched well enough to completely rely on it – according to the best alternative medicine doctors.
A thyroid gland Testing methods to define our primary hormonal balance
There are three primary testing methods currently used by doctors, but not either one of them provides conclusive results, allowing a decisive action.
These three testing methods are:
* Blood test – most often used by traditional doctors * Saliva test – used by some holistic doctors * 24 hour urine test - the most comprehensive way to monitor hormone levels
You can find details on evaluating results of 24 hour urine test on these pages, but we should not approach any decision making without carefully selected specializing on this subject preferably holistic doctor.
Our research shows that only very few doctors are skilled and knowledgeable enough to deeply understand the subject.
If you didn’t find one but your doctor is willing to learn more about interpreting results of such test, please Contact Us and we will email you possibly the best practical information from one of the best holistic doctors in our country.
