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.

Peptides

With Sermorelin out of the picture, what can we do?

Sermorelin with GHRP 2 and 6 are no longer available, now what?

For many HRT patients Sermorelin in combination with GHRP2 and GHRP6 was a peptide that offered improved sleep, more energy, fat loss, and increased muscle gain. Growth hormone secretagogues increase HGH through release of IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor in the liver. AAI has all the information you need on the improved formulas they are being replaced with.

What is Sermorelin?

Sermorelin mimics GHRH, or growth hormone releasing hormone. It is made up of 29 amino acids. This hormone increases the body’s natural growth hormone secretion. Sermorelin is now thought to be more outdated, however still offers an alternative to patients who are sensitive to similar compounds.

What is CJC?

It’s primary function acts on GHRH receptors much like Sermorelin does. CJC is made up of 30 amino acids. The main difference between the two is that CJC’s therapeutic window is greater, working on the receptors for 30 minutes instead of 8-12 minutes like that of Sermorelin. CJC also stimulates pituitary gene transcription, which basically helps the body to preserve the growth hormone reserve gained through treatment.

What is Ipamorelin?

Think of Ipamorelin as a growth hormone releasing peptide much like GHRP2/GHRP6 that mimics Ghrelin targeting a specific GH pulse that not only increases growth hormone release but also suppresses somatostatin. This process works best synergistically with use of Sermorelin or CJC or can be used on it’s own.

Ipamorelin is considered the best GHRP, in that it doesn’t cause spikes in other important hormone levels and also does not increase hunger after injecting. This is particularly important for patients looking to shred some extra pounds and greatly increases the positive clinical outcomes they receive.

Which benefits are typically seen with secretagogues and what is the timeline for the benefits it offers?
