Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Treating patients from Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach, Florida

Hormones are the chemical messengers that are made in one part of the body and tell other parts of the body what to do. Once a hormone reaches its destination, it binds to a special part of the cell called a receptor, where it stimulates a specific metabolic activity.

Hormones are involved in every aspect of human function from sex and reproduction, growth and development, to metabolism and mood. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is the most abundant hormone made by the pituitary gland. HGH levels decline with age in every animal species that has been evaluated to date. In humans, the amount of HGH after the age of 21 falls about 14% every decade. By the time we are 60 years old, our bodies are only producing less than 50% of its former production. Research has shown that declining levels of HGH is responsible for many of the signs of aging. By replacing HGH and any other hormone deficiency, we can slow down and even reverse aging. In anti-aging medicine, we are particularly interested in several different hormones:

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
This is the most abundant hormone made by the pituitary gland, which is located in the center of the brain. Levels of this hormone decline as we age, which are associated with the physical and emotional problems associated with aging. Human Growth Hormone replacement reverses these problems and allows us to reverse the aging process.

DHEA
This is the most abundant steroid in the human body and is involved with the making of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and corticosterone. Taking DHEA helps to restore these substances to their proper levels as we age.

Estrogen
This well known hormone helps prevent heart disease, osteoporosis, memory loss and skin changes.

Progesterone
Responsible for helping prevent endometrial and breast cancers, promotes breakdown of fat, improves mood and sexual function.

Testosterone
This hormone promotes sexual drive, stimulates hair growth, helps build muscle and controls growth of the prostate gland in men; and may be beneficial in small amounts to women.

Melatonin
A very powerful antioxidant, immune booster, mood elevator and sleeping aid.
