Hormones play a role in countless functions in the human body. When discussing hormone replacement therapy most people think it is reserved solely for women. Historically, women who were going through the "change of life" were prescribed estrogen and progesterone to manage the symptoms associated with the onset of menopause. Now, the practice of hormone replacement therapy has expanded to include men and women and the use of testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, melatonin and cortisol.
There is an overwhelming amount of data available supporting the use of hormone replacement therapy. Hormone replacement therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the prevention of the following disease states:
- Osteoporosis
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Alzheimer's Disease
A perfectly functioning body is the product of a precisely balanced hormonal response. When one or more of our hormones are out of balance or depleted, symptoms appear. These symptoms may manifest themselves as the ever popular "hot flashes" or more subtly as a decrease in libido or memory. The goal of hormone replacement therapy is to correct the imbalance and maintain youthful levels.
Men also benefit from hormone replacement therapy for management of the symptoms associated with the onset of "andropause". Andropause is a time in a man's life marked by a decrease in production of testosterone and DHEA and may manifest itself as a decrease in sexual interest, erectile dysfunction, or depressive mood.

Andropause (Testosterone) Therapy
As men pass through their 20s and 30s we may begin to lose vital testosterone production usually at a rate of 1-2% per year. Many men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s suffer the creeping effects of low testosterone. The loss of testosterone is a process called andropause or male menopause. It causes loss of muscle mass, libido, and memory, and increasing ED, fat, achiness, heart disease and fractures. By measuring your testosterone and other key hormone levels and then carefully assessing your current symptoms, our well trained Anti-Aging MDs can offer you a customized treatment plan to help you achieve health for the inside out.
