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 not adaptive; it is destructive. It is one of mechanisms of aging--the process by which Nature causes our deaths.
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 remains disease-oriented--recognizing and treating only those severe hormonal deficiencies caused by some obvious 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 reference range as "normal", ignoring the high prevalence of moderate hormone insufficiency in the tested populations, and the large variations in hormonal effects from the bottom to the top of the reference ranges. Conventional endocrinologists are not prepared by their training to detect mild/moderate hormone insufficiency or to optimize hormone levels in symptomatic persons. Endocrinologists rely on insensitive tests (like the TSH level or the ACTH stimulation test) that can diagnose only certain kinds of severe hormonal deficiencies.
In addition, pharmaceutical corporations have encouraged all doctors to use hormone-like drugs 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:
Aging is Nature's way of killing us.
Optimal hormone levels are vital to our health and vitality.
The loss of hormones with aging hastens our deterioration and death.
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.
Medical practice, which is now essentially a 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:
Restoring optimal hormone levels is essential preventative medicine.
Restoring optimal hormone levels is essential to the treatment of all diseases.
Restoring optimal hormone levels is essential to our Quality of Life!
