The causes of aging, physiologic deterioration, and increased chance of death with time are multifactorial. The Neuroendocrine Theory proposes that a major cause of aging is the deterioration of optimal neuroendocrine controls that typically manifests in adult endocrine hormone deficiencies, but may also involve endocrine hormone excesses. This concept leads to the following belief system: “We age because our hormones decline, our hormones do not decline because we age.” This is one of the approaches that anti-aging medicine explores, analyzes, and acts upon with balanced bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Important concepts to understand include what the difference is between “normal” hormone levels and desirable or ideal levels. We can discard the old concept that “normal for age” is really normal and acceptable. We can discard the concept that simply being in the “reference range” produces optimal health. The exciting news is that we can directly treat the loss of your hormones with balanced bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Testing can assess hormone levels and hormone deficiencies can be replaced to the 20-30 year old level indefinitely in a safe and effective manner.
