We no longer have to suffer maybe 50 years until we finally dwindle and die, without hormones. Yes, I believe everyone should have their hormone blood levels checked at the yearly annual, but not everyone needs or wants hormone replacement. However, I also believe hormone restoration should be offered and discussed by knowledgeable practitioner. Endocrinologists treat sickness of the hormone glands, gynecologists and urologists also focus more on sickness of the sexual organs. For the “normal” aging individual, practitioners with added training in hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, or antiaging therapies may provide necessary expertise.Both men and women should get their blood levels analyzed: we have extensive, detailed testing of cholesterol available, and how it relates to a possible stroke or heart attack in years to come, the Cardio IQ by Quest Labs. Imaging of the heart can now quantify if there is any plaque in the blood vessels of the heart. This imaging is named: “Heart Saver Scan”, not paid for by insurance, but is less that $120 cash. Sonogram of he arteries in the neck, the carotids, can reveal if there is a risk of stroke. I do focus on hormones, but the goal for all these tests, hormones, and supplements is to enhance, improve the life span.I have attended many seminars by WorldLink Medical, functional medicine, and antiaging medicine. A few years ago,Johnson Theatre - continued from page 10 pampering, with hair and makeup by Johnson Theatre students and complete with tiaras, swords, and shields.

My lecture title: HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR THE OLDER ADULT IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE. Testosterone, secreted by the adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries contributes to muscle mass, strength and endurance, and most importantly, enhancement of well- being-good mood vs grumpy mood in the low T male. Women, too seem to exhibit more self-confidence and happier mood when testosterone is replaced to the young adult blood level.Yes, there are side effects to everything we do. All hormones, even ones that are identical to you, may be implicated in risk for cancer of the breast, ovaries, or uterus or blood clots, resulting in heart attack or stroke.I offer detailed analysis, 3 pages of labs, with recommendations for books & articles to read, homework, documentaries, diet & exercise.
