Wellness and Longevity

Feeling well is our natural state. Yet many people, of all ages, struggle with fatigue, poor sleep, excess weight, low energy, brain fog, digestive disorders and many other “changes” from our earlier years. Emerging information about gut health, biorhythms, healthy cortisol, prime hormone levels, herbal supplements, genetics and more are coalescing to provide us with reasonable interventions for these problems. We do not have to age feeling not our best.

Dr. Deben at International Orthopaedic specialists is offering evaluation and treatment for many of these symptoms. Typically with a combination of lifestyle modification, herbal supplements and hormone support, many of these symptoms can be successfully treated.

New data around healthful aging reveals that about 80 percent of women in the United States suffer from hormone dysregulation. Men also commonly suffer the same. Approximatley 39 percent of men ages 45 and older have low testosterone levels. Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can treat this problem. Diet, supplementation, sleep optimization and exercise are some ways to mitigate some of these changes. However, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has proven to be one of the most useful methods. Take a look below and learn more about how to recognize the symptoms of hormonal imbalances and what you can do to address them.

What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a way to provide the body with the hormones it lacks. With time, hormone levels dwindle, robbing us of the recovery, energy and vigor we enjoyed in our earlier years. There are some recent studies which suggest that declines in hormone levels can be associated with several common diseases such as hypertension and cardiac disease as well as some cancers and declines in mental acuity. New research is revealing that preserving hormone levels may possibly aid help to stave off some of these "diseases of old age."

Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men

In men, hormone imbalances are generally caused by low testosterone. Symptoms of hormone imbalance in men often begin in mid-life but may occur earlier in life too.
