Hormone replacement therapy can be a valuable component of an age-management program. It can help regulate and maintain such vital functions as the maintenance of bone mass, healthy levels of blood fats, and protection from cardiovascular disease. No one should embark on a hormone replacement program, however, without first having the necessary laboratory test and without the supervision and advice of a qualified health care professional.
There is no place in anti-aging therapy for single hormone replacement. In fact, replacement of growth hormone or testerone alone can be deleterious to the aging process and longevity. Estrogen replacement has been in the news lately, with discouraging reports. The body is designed to act in concert and balance with all hormones in appropriate ratios. Changes in the level of a single hormone can trigger a cascade of effects that upsets the delicate balance of the neuroendocrine system. Therefore, it is essential to view hormone levels as an interdependent web. A complete hormone assay should be undertaken before a program of adjusting hormone levels is started. There is no "one size fits all" solution to hormone imbalance. The discussion that follows assumes deficiency in the hormones named. The recommendations should not be assumed to be appropriate for any particular individual without the evidence of laboratory tests.
