Comprehensive Hormone Replacement & Anti-Aging Medicine Metabolic Solutions for Wellness and Longevity
Natural Hormone replacement / replenishment therapy
George Weiss, M.D.
It does not matter whether you are talking about weight control, wellness or longevity, they are all inter-related. Attention to any one of these three factors will lead to disease prevention. The undeniable fact is that its a lot easier to prevent disease than it is to treat it.
Unfortunately, as we get older, the body begins to deteriorate - we develop cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc. However, these same factors that have always been considered unavoidable are now considered preventable, and, to a large degree, reversible.
The reason for this revolutionary change in thinking is because of the tremendous advances in hormone therapy. Hormones are the substances that control every function of the body - the metabolic system, the immune system, the reproductive system, the nervous system, etc. As we get older, our hormone levels decline. As our hormone levels decline, so do we - both physically and mentally.
By giving the body natural hormones that are exactly bioequivalent to your own hormones, it is possible to restore your hormones to the same levels you had in your 20's and 30's. Presently, there is no more effective therapy to prevent the inevitable decline we experience as we get older, and, at the same time, improve the quality of our lives.

Commonly replaced hormones include:
1. Progesterone:
Natural progesterone is excellent for preventing osteoporosis, it may prevent breast cancer, uterine and ovarian cancer, it is wonderful for blood vessels - preventing coronary artery spasm and migraine headaches, and is thermogenic - i.e. helps fat to burn. In men, natural progesterone may prevent cancer of the prostate.
2. Testosterone:
Natural testosterone in both men and women promotes muscle growth, prevents osteoporosis, and increases libido. It also helps prevent coronary artery disease and arthritis.
3. Estrogen:
Natural estrogen is beneficial for the skin and may help prevent osteoporosis, eliminate hot flashes and vaginal dryness, as well as Alzheimer's disease.
4. DHEA:
Replacement with DHEA enhances the immune system, gives one a sense of well-being, helps prevent cancer, prevents heart disease by reducing body fat and cholesterol, and can be extremely beneficial in people with arthritis.
5. Thyroid:
Thyroid replacement enhances your metabolism - it helps get rid of excess body fat, gives you more energy, improves mental functioning, improves the skin, nails, hair, and lowers cholesterol.
6. Melatonin:
Melatonin induces youthful sleep patterns, and has a strong influence on the immune system. Studies have shown that it slows aging, and helps to prevent and treat cancer through its significant antioxidant effects.
7. Growth Hormone:
Growth hormone is considered by some as the main anti-aging hormone. In people with a deficiency of HGH, it has the ability to prevent age-related changes and to reverse those changes that have already occurred. It also may improve libido, increase lean muscle mass, decrease bodyfat, reduce wrinkles and restore natural hair color.
