Hormone deficiency symptoms include a reduced vitality and sex drive, poor general health, memory loss, impaired psychological well-being (anxiety and depression), graying and brittle hair and a loss of skin thickness and tone. - (1*, 2*)

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is necessary only if Testosterone levels are below normal. There are two forms of Testosterone in the human body: The Total (or bound) Testosterone level (TT) and the Free Testosterone (FT). Free Testosterone levels can be detected by simple, painless saliva testing. Over 75% of the Testosterone in saliva is in the FT form. FT drives the normal sex drive in both men and women.

Natural Testosterone can be used safely in large doses by men who are deficient. Normal healthy doses present no health risks to men. Only if the levels of Testosterone metabolites, such as DHT or E2, rise above ideal physiologic range, can problems occur. These include baldness, prostate enlargement, shrinking of testicles, increased acne, and loss of sex drive with moodiness and emotionality. Testosterone USP is a white odorless powder which dissolves in alcohol or organic solvents.

Don't wait if you are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance. In general, hormones begin to decline after the mid-20s and hormonal imbalance symptoms are frequently present by the mid-30s. A good time to start replacing hormones is between 35 and 40.

Good question, especially with all the press lately regarding steroids in professional sports. Doing steroids means taking testosterone waaaaay above the top of normal range. This is VERY bad for your health. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), on the other hand, is merely restoring, or optimizing, testosterone levels to healthy range. S tudies have shown that men get healthier (and happier) as they approach the top of normal range. And they tend to stay that way much longer.

Hormone replacement therapy, commonly known as HRT, is the standard pharmaceutical treatment for menopausal symptoms. It is usually made up of two kinds of hormones — oestrogens and progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone). Levels of these hormones fall after menopause, and hormone replacement therapy helps relieve symptoms and has some long-term health benefits, such as osteoporosis prevention.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is replacing hormones–usually estrogen and progesterone–which a woman’s body once made in sufficient amounts, but because of age or medical reasons, is no longer able to produce. Replacing these hormones back to physiological levels can restore normal hormonal cycles. By doing this, women will not only begin to feel younger and more vivacious, but will also reduce their risks of cardiovascular problems and osteroporosis.

Many women now taking estrogen or estrogen combined with progestins are able to discontinue their HRT. Please consult with a medical professional before doing so. It is possible that if adequate natural progesterone levels were present, any needed estrogen could be made from it. Because progesterone sensitizes estrogen receptors, it makes sense to supplement with progesterone rather than estrogen.

Some forms of testosterone replacement such as injections of long acting synthetic testosterone derivatives will virtually stop an individual's own testosterone production at the same time causing severe testicular atrophy that, after as short a time as six months, is only partially reversible. However, daily cream administration of testosterone will cause only partial suppression of the testicular production, which is reversible on cessation of treatment.

Estrogen and progesterone (two of the hormones used in some forms of HRT) may increase a woman's risk for developing breast cancer. Patients should be aware that these hormones affect many tissues in the body and therefore before a patient considers HRT, it is prudent to discuss all the risks, benefits, and limitations of pursuing HRT with a medical doctor.

Answer:Yes, in most cases. Of course, Dr. Hanson will have to evaluate the individual to determine whether Decompression Therapy is right for them.

Hormone Replacement Therapy can be a lifetime commitment. Most studies have been done involving a minimum of six months therapy. Many have been and are conducted over longer periods of time. Benefits gained from HRT will gradually diminish if the therapy program is not continued. Many individuals on HRT obtain excellent results with a rotating or cyclical protocol of six months on HRT and four to eight weeks off. - (1*, 2*)

For patients with early Parkinson's disease, levodopa (sinemet) and other antiparkinsonian medications are usually effective for maintaining a good quality of life. As the disorder progresses, however, medications can produce disabling side effects. Many patients on long-term levodopa develop troublesome dyskinesias, excessive movements that often cause the limbs and body to writhe or jump. In addition, their dose of levodopa no longer lasts as long as it once did.

If someone is unhappy or dissatisfied, overstressed or traumatized, therapy is a good place to explore emotional, energetic, psychological, and spiritual solutions.

I know many of you are tired of the western singles scene. You know, insincere women who like to play games or expect material gifts. In contrast, Chinese women have greatly different cultures and traditions which affect the way they approach relationships. In their mind, it is family, husband and kids that take place No.

As previously stated, Hormone Replacement Therapy is used to restore your hormone levels to their optimum youthful levels. You need a blood test to determine your existing hormone levels, to see whether or not you qualify for HRT and what your replacement dosages should be. Since most of the hormones used in HRT are dispensed by prescription only, you cannot obtain them without a physician's prescription.

If you are taking Premarin, Provera, or Prempro, the drugs used in the Women's Health Initiative Study that has been so widely publicized in the last year, the answer is YES! Does that mean you should stop other hormone replacement regimes? NO! It means you should switch to non-oral human estradiol and human progesterone in a cream, gel, patch, or pellet form and monitor "free" estradiol and progesterone levels in the blood to assure correct dosage.

There are many reasons therapy could be a good and important choice for you. Consider where you are at this moment in your life. Presumably you're thinking about therapy because parts of your life are not as satisfying or as rewarding as you'd wish. Two important things for you to recognize about yourself: You have the courage to reach out and seek guidance. Because you've taken these steps to reflect on your life and seek help, you appear to be a very good candidate for therapy.

The most important way to enhance your fertility is to identify which days are your most fertile, and then to be certain to have intercourse on those days. Also known as natural family planning or periodic abstinence, fertility awareness entails not having sexual intercourse on the days of a woman's menstrual cycle when she is more likely to become pregnant, or using a barrier method of birth control on those days.
