Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) about Hormone Deficiency, Andropause and Hormone
Replacement Therapy.
Question: How much do hormones decline?
Answer: Everyone is different, so the
following are approximations of where you might be physiologically:
Testosterone: ng/dl (blood analysis we
provide)
Age 20 to 30: 800-1000 range
Most men report they were at their peak of the
physical strength and quality of life in their late 20's and early 30's,
when they were in the 700 to 800 range. Results vary.
Age 30 to 40: 400-700 range
Age 40 to 50: 300-400 range
Age 50 to 60: 200-300 range
Human Growth Hormone: IGF-1 ng/dl
Age 20 to 30: 300-400
Most men report they were at their peak
of the physical strength and quality of life in their late 20's and
early 30's, when they were in the approx. 300 range.
Results Vary.
Age 30 to 40: 250-300
Age 40 to 50: 175-200
Age 50 to 60: 100-150
DHEA ug/dl
Age 20 to 30: 400-500
Age 30 to 40: 350-400
Age 40 to 50: 200-350
Age 50 to 60: 50-200
The Why of Hormone Replacement Therapy?
We
replace hormones to levels that existed in your body when you were at
a younger healthier age. Since declining hormones cause us to age and
our bodies to "fall apart", it is logical that replacing those
hormones would positively affect our body and physiological age - and
over 100,000+ people world wide who have gone on Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) programs and protocols and can attest to this fact. Including
all the thousands of medical and scientific research trials which have
confirmed overwhelmingly that properly administered doctor monitored
HRT programs have slowed down and even reversed the aging process in
95% of the people on doctor monitored HRT programs, HGH Therapy and
Testosterone Therapy.
Anywhere in the United States!
We have a network of board certified physicians and nurse practitioners
across the U.S., where you can go to their offices or they will come
to your home or place of business ("house call") and perform
a physical exam and blood draw. Best of all, in one single convenient
appointment!
How are the hormones replaced?
Testosterone
is replaced using either an injection or a topical cream or gel (testosterone)
formulated in strength and dose to your specific needs and then is self
applied to the surface of the skin in the morning and evening - depending
on the protocol. Growth hormone is taken by daily injection(s). We show
you how to do it, we explain It both verbally, in written format and
with easy to use step by step videos that break it down so it is easy
and painless.
Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
Yes
95% of the time, if you follow the HRT Therapy program closely including
maintaining a healthy diet, stretching and exercise program - and don't
use body builder doses you will get fantastic results in a 6 month to
1 year program. Remember HRT is not a "magic bullet", it is
medical science at its best. It is board certified doctors using sophisticated
lab tests and treatment protocols to produce life-altering results which
will re-invent your quality of life and longevity.
What are the Costs of a Hormone Replacement Therapy Program?
There is no way to predetermine the cost as each therapy is structured
around a patients paricular and specific needs. This is based on the
results of the blood work, physical exam, medical questionaire and the
short, mid and long term goals of the patient. We have a long standing
reputation of honesty and integrity and use only board certified Doctors
that will help each patient achieve his or her goals. In general complete
testosterone & HCG replacement therapies can run up to $250 a month
and HGH programs can frun $400 to $800 a month.
Do I have to come to your medical center in Florida to get
treatment?
Although we would like you to come to our state of the art facility,
we do not require you to come, because we have a network of physicians
across the united states who can give you the pre-requisite physical
exam and bloodwork draw for analysis. We do our testing through LabCorp,
which has blood-drawing stations conveniently located across the U.S.A.
As stated above, we also have physician affiliates conveniently located
in every part of the country to give you the required physical exam
- and the best part?
You get your physical exam and blood drawn in one single convenient
appointment! It's that easy and simple!
How much hormone(s) will I take?
The doctor will prescribe whatever amount it takes to get your hormone
levels to a point that you are achieving medical results. The idea is
not too much and not too little. With too much you can get side effects
after a while and with too little you wont get results. After 22 years
of experience, our doctor has a scientific and quantitative data behind
his recommended doses, along with data, information and results from
a network of doctors across the united states from the A4M. Best results
typically will be the upper end of the normal and long term safe range
as shown in lab tests.
What results can I expect?
Everyone is unique and different but
generally you can expect:
General Benefits Include
HGH - What results to expect.
Everyone is different, but generally after a complete six month therapy
program you can expect significant results in your apperance, performance
and well beign:
1st Month:
Increase in mental sharpness, enthusiasm for life and an elimination
of a mild to moderate depression. More energy, better results from exercise
and weight control efforts. Better sleep.
2nd Month:
Improved muscle tone, enhanced sexual function, improvement in nail
growth, improvement in skin tone, better digestion, increased strength
and weight loss. Improved hair growth-thickening of hair with a shiny
and healthy appearance.
3rd Month:
Mental processes improve, including desire to do and complete projects,
increased muscle size, especially if the individual works out, hair
growth, reduction in post menstrual symptoms in women, increased sexual
desire, greater body flexibility.
4th Month:
Same as 3rd Month: Generally most improvements are heightened and more
consistent.
5th Month:
Impressive weight loss, reduction of inches, since fat is reduced and
muscle tissue is increased, toned improvement to skin texture, reduced
appearance of wrinkles, Vast improvements of hair growth.
6th Month:
This is a rather significant stage since cellulite greatly diminishes,
body is more contoured, eyesight is greatly improved, stronger resistance
to colds, flu, and other illnesses, some pain and soreness will disappear,
old wounds have healed or are healing, excellent exercise tolerance,
grayed hair begins to return to natural color, medical test show a reduction
in cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, blood pressure normalizes, heart
rate improves, some conditions due to disease vanish or are diminished
and immune system improves.
Is Hormone Replacement Therapy safe?
There are numerous studies that have come out over the past 12 months
that have attested to the safety of natural hormone replacement for
men and women. We use only bio-identical (genetically identical) hormones
in our therapy. i.e. hormones equal in molecular structure to what the
body produces naturally - the results are fantastic for 95%+ of the
people who take their programs seriously.
Are there side effects to Natural Bio-Identical Hormones?
If hormone replacement therapy is done properly with proper doses in
a doctor monitored program there are typically no negative side effects
because these are bio-identical hormones, not synthetic or man made
substances. Only when high doses over time are used do side effects
typically occur. You should get your bloodwork redone every 6 months
to closely monitor the results of your HRT program and it enables the
doctor to make adjustments.
What are the goals (also the benefits) of an HGH Therapy Program?
Reverse the effects of aging
Reverse muscle wasting
Reduction in Weight and body fat after six months, without dieting
I ncrease in lean muscle after six months, without exercise, with exercise
significantly improve lean muscle mass.
Increase energy level, endurance and exercise capacity
Increase cardiac output
Reduce stress and enhances immune system
A ccelerate wound healing and skin regeneration
Improve memory retention and cognitive functions
Increase recovery from injury
Improve vision
Achieve a younger, tighter, thicker skin
Improve kidney function
Reverse osteoporosis Improve sleep
When should I think about replacing hormones?
In the typical man, hormones start to decline significantly in the
mid to late twenties. By age 30 to 35 hormones decline rapidly and are
sufficient that symptoms of deficiency maybe evident. The best time
to start replacing hormones is between age 35 and 40. However it is
never too late. We have men in their 90's that have found a new life!
Do I have to replace all hormones i.e. testosterone, growth
hormone?
Hormones may be replaced separately or in any combination.
All the latest research is showing the best results are obtained from
taking a combination of hormones in harmony, not in single islands,
but synergistically together. We like to say there is a 1+1 = 5 relationship
when all hormones are replaced together synergistically.
Concerning HGH, we understand the cost limitation on growth hormone
- the potential benefits far out-weigh the cost as you can not put a
price on re-inventing your quality of life and longevity. How does one
put a price on living with youthful vitality.
How long must I commit to hormone replacement?
The
commitment should last as long as you want the results, however, your
commitment to a healthy diet, exercise, and life style should be life
long. We are now at the point in modern medical history, where each
breakthrough in longevity gives us enough time to survive for the next
breathrough to become available, and each major breathrough will significantly
improve the quality of life, geometrically.
HRT is adding 10 to 20 years to the human life span, not just length,
but more specifically the additional length is with a high quality of
life. Quality of life for many is more important than length of life,
HRT programs provide both quality of life and longevity.
After HRT, comes stem cell therapy and gene therapy, then human genetic
engineering, then post human and transhuman science. Commit to HRT until
the human genetic engineering revolution goes mainstream, estimated
time 20 to 25 years.
The human life span since the dawn of human civilization hovered around
35 to 45 years, in the last century the human life span nearly doubled
to the 75 to 80 years range, HRT will extend human life span 10 to 20
years, long enough hopefully for the next breakthrough in medical science
genetherapy and stem cell therapy, which should theoretically extend
human life span and quality of life 20 to 30 years, long enough for
human genetic engineering which could potentially double human life
span, the next break throughs will extend the quality and length of
human life geometrically.
Will hormone replacement cause my natural hormone production
to decline?
Cycling of hormones is designed to minimize the possibility of a decline
in your natural hormone production. Cycling is taking time off from
hormone replacement. When outside hormones are introduced into the body,
the gland producing that hormone senses that the body has an adequate
supply of the hormone and does not need to work as hard. Cycling is
mandatory for human growth hormone and for men under 45 on testosterone.
Will hormone therapy help sexual dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction can have many causes; however replacing hormones
is the best place to start treatment. We suggest raising your testosterone
to a healthy level along with growth hormone, (if cost is not a prohibitive
factor), to boost your sex drive. There are also non-prescription products
such as Male Performance Plus that increase the amount of nitric oxide
in the blood to aid sexual mechanics. If there is still need for assistance,
consider something like Viagra. This process has been found to correct
over 90% of problems of sexual function. We strongly recommend not using
a product such as Viagra without first taking care of testosterone levels.
Does growth hormone have to be injected?
It
is the only medically proven way Growth Hormone can enter the body and
be absorbed correctly.
What about oral HGH or HGH stimulants that I see advertised on the
web?
Advertisements that claim they have real HGH in a spray or pill may
in fact contain small amounts of HGH. However, it has been medically
proven that HGH cannot be absorbed through the membranes of the mouth,
skin or digestive system. Stimulants have some effect but very limited.
The claims of results far out-weigh the actual results.
