Aging is an inevitable part of life, but the effects of declining hormone levels don't have to be. As we get older, changes in hormone production can lead to undesirable effects like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and diminished sex drive. Fortunately, anti-aging treatments from Wellspring Medical can help counteract many age-related declines by restoring hormone balance. Let's explore the facts around deficiency signs, benefits, and more regarding these innovative therapies.
Hormone production peaks in our 20s and 30s, then slowly declines over time. By our 50s and beyond, critical hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and DHEA can dip well below optimal levels. The main reasons for this downward shift include:
The consequences? Deficiency signs like fatigue, weight gain, reduced muscle mass and bone density, loss of libido, and more. Understanding these common age-related hormone declines and associated symptoms is the first step toward regaining your prime with properly administered anti-aging hormone therapies.
Hormone | Decline Effects in Men | Decline Effects in Women |
Testosterone | - Loss of muscle mass- Increased body fat- Reduced bone density- Low energy/motivation- Decline in sexual function | - Loss of muscle mass- Increased body fat- Reduced bone density- Low energy/motivation- Decline in sexual function |
Growth Hormone | - Loss of muscle mass- Decreased exercise capacity- Increased body fat- Higher LDL cholesterol | - Loss of muscle mass- Decreased exercise capacity- Increased body fat- Higher LDL cholesterol |
DHEA | - Loss of muscle mass- Increased body fat- Decreased immune function- Low libido | - Loss of muscle mass- Increased body fat- Decreased immune function- Low libido |
Because hormone declines occur gradually, associated changes also manifest slowly. Symptoms often get chalked up to "normal aging." However, restoring optimal hormonal balance can roll back the clock.
The medical experts at Wellspring Medical use advanced diagnostics to measure critical hormones and pinpoint deficiencies. We also evaluate lifestyle, symptoms, and health history as part of our comprehensive evaluation process.
Based on over 25 years of experience, we understand the complex dynamics around anti-aging hormone treatments and always craft fully personalized plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can take different forms depending on the hormone in question:
The physicians at Wellspring Medical pinpoint your specific hormone deficiencies and determine the most effective treatment plan based on your needs.
If testing reveals a hormone deficiency, HRT may be a good option - but it's not one-size-fits-all. The experts at Wellspring Medical walk you through considerations like:
We recognize the highly individualized nature of hormone balance and always treat each patient as a unique case. Once on therapy, patients start feeling better - with more energy, sharper thinking, better sleep, increased muscle mass, stabilized mood and more. We closely monitor progress and make dosage tweaks over time for optimal therapeutic effects.
Additionally, data increasingly links proper hormone levels to longer lifespan. Balancing key hormones seems to slow the aging process and reduce disease risk across body systems - at the core of cutting-edge anti-aging medicine.
