Hormone Optimization
By the time we reach middle age, hormones may get so low we start to experience problems that affect our mental, sexual and physical health.
Take one of our questionnaires to assess your hormonal health.
If you are looking to start an HGH and testosterone therapy program, or are looking to continue your current therapy, then look no further.
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testes of men. Testosterone is responsible for the development of male characteristics such as body and facial hair, muscle growth and strength, and a deep voice.
Normal levels of testosterone also influence the production of sperm and promote sex drive. Though testosterone is thought of as an exclusively male hormone, it is not unique to males. Testosterone is also produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women and starts to decline as both men and women age.
When does testosterone decline?
Testosterone begins to decline in men at about age 25. Testosterone levels decline gradually over the years and because it comes on slowly, most men often accommodate to the symptoms and do not realize how much they have lost
Look at the chart below. Where on that down turn do you think you are?
Many men, after 35 or so, often have a hard time rising to the occasion and challenge of daily stress. It has only been recently that andropause has received attention and recognition, but why the holdup
In men over 40, lower testosterone levels affect physical, sexual and cognitive function. Lower testosterone levels are not “normal for your age”. Andropause is a health problem that requires treatment
Doctors and scientists are well aware of the ramifications due to the absence of estrogen and progesterone in women. In the mean time men have kept their focus from themselves and their own hormonal induced weaknesses. Why?
- The fact that it comes on so gradual, is the reason why many men accommodate to the change. When the change happens we put it down to being “burnt out at work”, having a “mid-life crisis” or “just getting old”.
- Ignorance. Men do not talk or complain since it is not the "manly thing to do". We are taught to rise above our afflictions and never give the slightest indication of weakness.
- Male pride is often our greatest strength and our greatest weakness! We are blasted with a reality check during our mid-forties. We are told that the problems we are experiencing are all part of aging and we should throw in the towel and “settle” into old age.
At Our Clinic our patients talk openly about their problems and what they are going through. But each of them would also admit that they had difficulty making that first call and that they still can not admit or talk to their friends about their dysfunctions associated with low testosterone.
