Hormones are the most powerful molecules in our bodies, controlling the function, growth
reproduction, metabolism, and repair of every cell. Our bodies require optimal hormone levels,
just as they require optimal levels of essential vitanutrients: vitamins, fats, amino acids, and
minerals. Our hormone levels are generally optimal in our youthful years--our early twenties--but
many begin to fall soon afterwards and continue to decline with increasing age. Relative
hormone deficiencies affect many young adults, most adults over age 25, and all adults over age
35. Hormone levels decline because our glands and the parts of our brain that control our
glands deteriorate with age. This age-related hormone loss is natural, but it is not adaptive; it is
destructive. It is one of mechanisms of aging--our euphemism for the disease by which Nature
causes our deterioration and death.
Nothing in our bodies functions perfectly after age 25. Aging is the one disease that none of us
can escape. Hormone loss has been shown to contribute to many of the disorders and
diseases that we suffer as we age--diabetes, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, fatigue, loss
of muscle strength, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, cognitive decline, increased
cholesterol levels, loss of libido, depression, and some cancers. Many persons have additional
non-age-related hormone insufficiencies or imbalances due to hypothalamic-pituitary
dysfunction, endocrine gland failure, hormone resistance, and metabolic disorders. Women are
especially affected by hormonal disorders because their complex hormonal system is adapted
to produce and feed babies, and not to optimize their vitality as it is in men.
Conventional endocrinology grossly underestimates the importance of optimal hormone
levels. It remains disease-oriented--recognizing and treating only those severe hormonal
deficiencies caused by some identifiable disease, and providing only enough hormone
replacement to "normalize" certain tests. It accepts all age-related losses as "normal". It accepts
any hormone level anywhere within the broad population laboratory reference range as "normal".
Conventional endocrinologists are not prepared by their training to detect moderate hormone
deficiencies or to optimize hormone levels in symptomatic persons. They rely on insensitive
tests (like the TSH level or the ACTH stimulation test) that can diagnose only certain kinds of
hormonal deficiencies.
In addition, pharmaceutical corporations have encouraged all doctors to use hormone-like drugs
("steroids", estrogens, progestins, etc.) that have caused serious diseases and disorders,
leading physicians to believe that restoring hormones in any way is dangerous. For certain, even
bioidentical hormone replacement can cause problems when given in the wrong way, in
excessive doses, or without proper balance with other hormones. However, the fact that
something can be been done wrong does not mean that it can't be done right.
We need new paradigm in endocrinology; physicians must learn "Restorative Endocrinology".
There is abundant evidence of the benefits of higher, rather than lower hormone levels within the
population ranges. A significant portion of the population is now suffering from symptoms and
deteriorating health due to inadequate hormone levels or hormone effects. The progressive
physician must become adept at recognizing partial, functional, and age-related hormone
deficiencies and at optimizing hormone levels and effects for every patient. It's really just
common sense:
Medical practice, which is now essentially a pharmaceutical disease-drug scheme, should be
based upon an entirely different conceptual foundation--that of detecting the bio-molecular
causes of symptoms and disorders, and correcting the problem by optimizing the amounts and
balance of the important molecules that are innate to the body--among them hormones and
vitanutrients. Physicians would then understand that:

- The loss of hormones with aging hastens our deterioration and death.
- Optimal hormone levels are vital to our health and vitality.
- The disorders and diseases caused by partial hormone deficiencies are well-known
and serious. - Balanced bioidentical hormone optimization prevents and treats these disorders and
improves quality of life. - There is no proof that hormone restoration causes any harm that could possibly
outweigh its many benefits.

- Restoring optimal hormone levels is essential to our Quality of Life!
