Hormone Replacement

 As a metabolic hormone, thyroid regulates temperature, metabolism, and cerebral function. Its replacement boosts energy levels, enhances skin and hair health and texture, prevents cognitive impairment, and protects against heart disease.  

An important female hormone, estrogen not only eliminates menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, but also in-creases bone density, enhances heart health, protects against Alzheimer’s disease, and guards against vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections. 

 An important balancer to estrogen, progesterone stimulates bone density, enhances cardiovascular functioning, improves overall well-being, and protects the breast and uterine lining from hormonal-stimulated cancers. 

 Like women, men also experience a decline in hormones. Testosterone replacement helps boost libido, restore muscle tone, improve stamina, enhance overall well-being, improve heart health, and stave off Alzheimer’s and other dementia's. 

 Although testosterone is often acknowledged as the male hormone, the female body benefits greatly from its replacement. In women testosterone improves libido and sexual function, benefits the skin and muscle tone, and enhances overall well-being. 

 DHEA is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. It has been found to boost the immune system’s response, improve cognitive function, relieve stress and depression, increase energy, and lower body fat and cholesterol levels.  

Pregnenelone, Nicknamed the grandmother hormone, pregnenolone is a precursor to DHEA. Research has found that pregnenolone may be the most potent memory enhancer.  It also improves mental function, over-all well-being, and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
