Choosing A HRT Clinic

Anti-Aging Clinics And How to choose one that’s right for you

You’ve turned 40 and now the aging process has begun! You’ve done your research, and understand how sex hormones and amino acids deplete as you age. Now, you just need a clinic that understands these complicated processes and will deliver the medications you need along with the proper guidance and instruction. Hopefully at an affordable price. Sound easy? It can be, let us help you!

Google Reviews

The best way to find a clinic that delivers excellent service, pricing, and invaluable health advice is through their online reviews. You can find out in ten minutes or less what other patients may be saying about their experience with the clinic, how long they may have been a patient, and even some of the therapies they have tried and the results they have achieved. You will get an honest representation of the experiences other patients have received. Google will only remove inappropriate reviews, not negative online reviews.

What type of physicians are on staff?

When looking for a doctor that specializes in hormones, many times patients are referred to an endocrinologist or primary physician. While these types of physicians are best for primary health care needs, following diabetic and thyroid disorders, are they really the best choice for anti aging protocols? The answer is no, finding a clinic that specializes in sex hormones specifically is the best option. Just as you would look to a podiatrist if you injured your foot, wouldn’t you want specialized care for the aging process? Of course!

The best physicians are those that have accreditation through the A4M (American Academy of Anti-aging) or Abaarm (American Board of Anti-aging/Regenerative Medicine. These boards have paved the way for anti-aging doctors to receive invaluable collaboration with professionals around the world, wanting to further preventative medicine and its modern day practices. Accreditation requires physicians take written and oral exams encompassing anti-aging medicine and its applications. Rest assured, this unique network of doctors go the extra mile in completing these costly and time consuming courses, which in turn definitely proves having your best health outcomes in mind.

What types of hormones are prescribed?

If you are being prescribed therapy by a physician specialized in Anti Aging medicine, more than likely you will be treated with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement, meaning the chemical prescribed is exact to what the body naturally produces. Many Gynecologists or Endocrinologists that are willing to prescribe hormonal supplements may turn to widely marketed pharmaceutical drugs derived from alternate sources not identical to what the body makes. These synthetic options are what give hormone replacement in general a bad reputation, as these are the products that have been proven to cause cancer.

Expert Advice For Staying Young Longer

Although we cannot stop the effects of aging, we certainly have the power especially in this day in age, to stay looking younger longer. Ever wonder how celebrities look the way they do? Sure, plastic surgeons can do wonders, but if you have noticed movie stars look just amazing! You can tell it goes more than skin deep. So, what are affordable ways we can look younger longer and most important be healthier? We interviewed experts in the field and here is what they have to say.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could eat foods normally and get the nutrients our body needs naturally? Realistically though, we don’t get enough of the vitamins and amino acids we need. The foods are farmed with fewer amounts of nutrients in the soil to save money on farming. Secondly, even though we know we are supposed to have at least 4 servings of both fruits and vegetables daily, do we? Lastly, we don’t eat the right foods that are rich in healthy fats, powerful antioxidants, or protein that our body needs. Instead, we opt for the foods that are readily available that contain fillers, chemicals, and are processed to the point where we can barely call it food.

Regular physicians tend to prescribe medications to mask symptoms of aging and tell you “it’s normal”. The celebrities we interviewed prefer natural or anti-aging doctors (Link to AAI Page) that supplement what your body needs.

Incorporate Injectable Vitamins, Amino Acids, and Specialty Peptide Formulations

When is the last time your physician asked to check your vitamin profile or hormones? Maybe never, and certainly not when you’re healthy? Every person is different and many people never know what level their hormones or vitamins are actually when they are healthy. This makes it difficult to determine when our body is lacking these nutrients and hormones. We just have to wait until we are experiencing signs of fatigue, saggy skin, extra fat around the belly area, trouble sleeping, or mood swings to seek help.

Amino Acids

Why are amino acids important to us? Amino acids are the building blocks to the wide variety of proteins that our bodies require for optimal repair, health, and growth of our cells. They are also responsible for neurotransmitters and hormone production. These amino acids are made up of two categories, nonessential (can be provided by the body) and essential (must be provided by our diet). We can get these important organic compounds through our diet, but most people don’t. We can also find a variety of oral supplements at local vitamin stores, but because they have to get past the gastro tract, most aren’t even absorbed into our system.

The most effective route of administration for amino acids is through injectable therapy. Because most physicians are interested in providing prescription medications to mask our symptoms, you need to find an anti-aging clinic specialized in this field to provide you these specialty compounds.

Examples of essential amino acids histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

Examples of non-essential amino acids arginine, glutamine, tyrosine, cysteine, glycine, proline, serine, ornithine, alanine, asparagine, and aspartate.

Peptide and Polypeptide Formulations

Once you have found the right anti-aging physician, he or she may prescribe a peptide or polypeptide. How is this different from an amino acid? Peptide chains are made up of 2 or more amino acids, whereas polypeptides are made up of ten or more making a chain of amino acids. These formulations are specifically compounded to provide relief from aging symptoms. These compounds can help with weight loss, increase growth hormone levels, eliminate toxins, create antibiotics, and improve sexual performance. So you can see, it’s extremely important for our bodies!

Check your Sex Hormone Levels

Do you know what your testosterone level is? Most people don’t. This sex hormone is important not only for libido or sex drive, but for bone health, proper distribution of fat, and preservation of muscle. Healthy testosterone levels are associated with longevity according to clinical studies. Preserving our sexual desires is a critical factor in staying healthy. That’s why it’s called sexual health, procreating is what our bodies were designed to do. Keeping our sex hormone levels health shouldn’t be viewed as something tabu and more and more physicians are getting trained in hormone replacement. Testosterone is essential for men and women. Of course, women don’t need as much testosterone as men, and men need estrogen and progesterone also, just not in the amount women do. Understanding the proper balance and the side effects of hormone replacement therapy are why you should look into a specialized physician. Physicians that have a certification from the A4M (The Board for anti-aging doctors) are a good requirement to ask for when searching for one.

Why Growth Hormone?

The growth hormone has received a bad rap in the past due to the sports industry and a lack of knowledge by mainstream physicians. However, it’s, in fact, necessary for our body to heal itself. Many clinically study especially those in Europe have proven increased growth hormone levels in aging individuals does not cause cancer. Cancer is caused by behavioral, environmental toxin exposures and the body’s inability to reverse those facts due to genetic mutations or uncontrolled cell and tumor growth. The use of peptides or growth hormone can indeed cause accelerated growth where cancer is present, but it’s important to differentiate that it doesn’t cause cancer. If that were true, everyone would have cancer, since we all produce these hormones naturally.

That being said, there are many advancements in increasing the amounts of growth hormone in our bodies as we age. Some of the options available to approved patients include peptide therapies, amino acids, Ibutamoren, Sermorelin, and CJC/Ipamorelin.

Low Motivation, Uncategorized

Motivation & Hormones Imbalance

Motivation is incredible. Without motivation, the most routine task can become daunting.

It is common for people to assume if they get a good night sleep they will feel rejuvenated in the morning. Even with a full night of sleep, when you awake in the morning, your head is immediately flooded with thoughts of what you need to get accomplished throughout the day. At this point you begin to organize your day. By planning your activities you feel that you have created a map of the tasks you need to accomplish. It’s the start to what should be a productive day.

However, without motivation, all the preparation in the world will not help you execute your plan to complete your activities. Can low T and or GH be the culprit? Human Growth Hormone and testosterone play a vital role in the creation of the energy we produce to get motivated and moving daily.

Science has demonstrated that hormone secretions, especially testosterone and HGH, diminish with age. Low T is a proven fact. Low T and lesser GH secretion bring about many unwanted physical manifestations. When hormone levels diminish, so do the energy boosting components that are associated with them. Additionally, as we age, because of low T and your body producing less Human Growth Hormone, your ability to experience restful sleep diminishes. Regardless of how many hours you actually lay in bed. Having low T levels and less GH produces less restful sleep, which leads to reduced daily energy. This combination of events decreases motivation, which results in an inability to complete daily tasks. This is just one of many unfortunate side effects of having low T, low GH production and, really, just not having a handle on your endocrine production.
