Youth and Energy

Remember all that energy and enthusiasm you had when you were in your 20's and 30's? You can have that back...well, there is no way to stop time, but there is a way to stop the ravages of time on the body. You can get more out of life when you feel healthy. Here's how:
A sensible diet, correct supplemental nutrients, a fitness program - yes, these are good, but a lot of people do these things and still feel crushed by symptoms of age. The one missing factor is balancing of hormones in the body. As one ages, production of hormones dwindles off. The answer is laboratory testing to determine current levels of hormones in the body and bioidentical hormone replacement for those that are not up to standard levels.
Women and some men take hormones as replacements when they reach middle age - usually they take only progesterone and estrogen for women and testosterone for men. But there are many more hormones in the body and they work together and they should be in balance with each other in order to restore health. Natural thyroid hormone and human growth hormone (HGH) and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), and melatonin are also hormones needed to keep a body in good shape.
With replacement of only one or two of the deficient hormones some relief is gained, but all the hormones of the body must be in balance for a healthful body. So the approach to handle effects of aging should include not just female (or male) hormone replacement, but testing, evaluation and replacement of all the necessary hormones.
Natural hormone replacement therapy, using bioidentical hormones, usually stops and sometimes even reverses symptoms of "getting older" in both women and men. You will experience a phenomenal gain in energy. When all the necessary hormones are supplied, the body can again function as it did when younger.
Another important factor here is the use of bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical means that the replacement hormones are exactly like those produced by the body. The body accepts and uses them, because they are the same as the ones the body has been using all along. They do not get a reaction like synthetic foreign substances. They are taken from plant sources, but modified in a lab to match human hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are very superior to the conventionally prescribed hormones. Synthetic hormones are of course also produced in a laboratory, but they do not match human hormones.
Problems associated with getting older are caused by hormones of the body going out of balance. Some hormones decrease, leaving an overabundance of other hormones, making a mess of some body functions. And thus one experiences mood swings, memory loss, wrinkles, anxiety, hair loss, loss of libido, extra weight gain, insomnia, fatigue and other unwanted symptoms.
Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles has been delivering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for many years to hundreds of now happy patients. You don't have to experience symptoms of aging. You can get tested and get any insufficiencies handled. You'll feel like a kid again!
