Hormonal Balance for Antiaging

To many in the medical establishment this is only a theory, yet to be proven. They will state that there is no such thing as an anti aging hormone, but to those who have felt the benefits of hormone therapy with anti aging hormones such as testosterone, DHEA, and HGH, it is very real!

Optimizing your hormonal profile is vital for maintaining your immune health and warding off disease and infections.

The idea here is not merely to replace dwindling levels of a particular hormone such as estrogen during menopause, but rather to determine what is optimal for you at your present age and circumstances. It is a very careful and precise process that requires the careful analysis of a trained practitioner.

Part of this process also involves minimizing the impact of substances such as cortisol, insulin, and estrogen (in men). These increase with age, and cause unhealthy shifts in body composition and physiological function. Fortunately they can be dealt with effectively by lifestyle changes and proper nutrition.

The hormonal balance that we are talking about includes testosterone, DHEA, Melatonin, HGH, thyroid, and estrogen. There are other hormones and hormone precursors, but the above-mentioned are the major ones. They must be carefully managed as they are all interdependent and do not work in isolation but rather as an integrated system.

The optimization of these hormones requires precise testing to determine baseline levels and follow up testing to determine the results of the anti aging hormone preparations that have been administered. This should be done by a qualified antiaging practitioner.

The antiaging physician who specializes in hormonal optimization will know which tests to administer and how to read the results. He will then write a prescription that will be filled by a compounding pharmacy for the bioidentical forms of the anti aging hormones needed.

Hormonal Optimization for Antiaging

When I use the term of antiaging with reference to hormones, it is with the understanding that since they improve the quality of life and health both in the short and long term, they can be said to have antiaging effects.

There are a number of ways hormonal balance can be achieved. Some methods involve nutritional approaches like macro-nutrient cycling, herbal, and nutraceutical supplements. These methods lack the precision of bioidenticals administered by a physician, but can prove useful if proper testing is used to verify results and monitor changes to the endocrine system.

Biosignature Modulation

One of the world’s top strength and conditioning experts Charles Poliquin, has developed a method of optimizing hormonal profiles which he calls “Biosignature Modulation.” This involves using skin-fold measurements at various sites on the body to determine hormone status by analyzing fat distribution patterns.

Poliquin then uses aspects of Chinese medicine to bring hormone levels to optimal status based on the particular needs of the individual. This method is now being taught to physicians all over the world. This system uses herbs and nutritional supplements rather than a bioidentical or synthetic anti aging hormone.

The Benefits Outweigh the Risks

There are many over the counter nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals that have the potential to address issues of hormonal balance. The drawback to these are that they are most likely to be used without the medical supervision that is necessary for both safety and effectiveness.

For all the potential downsides to manipulating hormones, there are many benefits that outweigh them for most people. When your hormonal profile is optimized, you will look, and feel younger, and healthier.

All aspects of your physical and mental functioning will be improved, because anti aging hormones also affect the brain as well as the body.

The sense of well being and optimism this can give people has to be felt to be believed, and once people know and understand what is possible for them, there will be no question that hormonal balance is well worth pursuing.
