Age Management: Hormone Replacement

Hormone Replacement is The Key

The major difference between you at age 50 and you at age 25 is hormonal. Hormones are molecular messengers which control healing, tissue regeneration, immune function, sexual function, memory and mood, strength, body composition, skin thickness, energy, digestion, and virtually every other aspect of human function. When they hear the word “hormone” most people think only of the sex hormones, but there are many other hormones beside these. Other important hormones are growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and the adrenal hormones. Age related hormonal deficiencies are the primary cause of all the diseases and symptoms of aging.

We at the Optimum Healthspan Institute also specialize in measuring and treating the aging process with individualized programs targeted to increasing the length and quality of life, preventing disease, and maintaining the same level of physical, mental, and emotional well being that characterizes true health.

Almost everyone has heard of Bio-identical Hormone Replacement (BHR). Many popular books by Suzanne Somers and others have effectively spread the word about this important anti-aging and disease preventing therapy. Dr. Shallenberger has been a leader in the use of BHR for over fifteen years. He has written extensively about it in both of his books, Bursting With Energy and The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough.

It is important that you don’t confuse bio-identical hormone replacement with synthetic hormone replacement. You may have seen the headlines about synthetic replacement. It has conclusively been proven to be dangerous. Bio-identical hormones are not the same thing. They are the same hormones that are already in your body and no study has indicated that the use of bio-identical hormones is anything but healthy.

Bio-identical hormones are not just for women. Bio-identical hormone replacement is just as important for men’s health. Proper individualized replacement programs using these hormone therapies will make you feel and function years younger, while at the same time protecting you against the diseases and infirmities of aging.

Perhaps the only negative side of all the scientific and clinical information on hormone replacement is that it is just too good to believe. When the average person is told that there is an anti-aging therapy does all the following, it seems too much to be taken seriously:

Increases exercise performance
Improves overall energy levels
Enhances sexual performance
Re-grows the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, and other organs that atrophy with aging

Improves mood and sleep
Increases mental function
Improves injury healing
Strengthens bones
Lowers LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL

"Hi Dr Ahmed
It's been 1.5 years of this pandemic and I still maintain my perfect score of not getting sick since 2017!
We have been surrounded by COVID infected people the last 3 weeks since Hendrik's best friend passed from COVID a couple of weeks ago and here I am as strong as an ox!
I would not have gotten better without you! Thank you for helping me!"

Corne
"Thank you so much for this information.
I agree completely and are as disappointed in the medical field as Dr Shallenberger. Brett’s oncologist said the same thing. I was furious and insisted that he continue his vit’s. If he had not I don’t believe he would be in “as good” state as what he was.
That Ozone treatment is phenomenal – absolutely mind blowing. You treated him on Thursday – by Sunday his hair had started growing back. He has eyebrows and a beard already. It is truly amazing.
Please can we make another appointment for this week – perhaps Thursday again?"

"Good news, my weight this morning was 99.7 – first time in years it is below 100kg! I cannot thank you enough – I feel wonderful."

"Good morning, Dr. H,
Would it be purely in my head that I'm seeing/feeling results of the LE products I'm on? I've created a spreadsheet for monitoring my meals and daily "results". I started the programme in earnest on Saturday the 10th. So far, the first things I've noticed are:
1.My skin is beautiful - like silk!
2.My bowel movements are far more regular, soft and quite volumeous.
3.I don't have any "down" moments and feel very relaxed, but in control.
4.My moment-by-moment memory is greatly improved (I no longer have to THINK what I had for breakfast).
The other thing is that find I'm actually remembering why I got up to go to my bedroom, for example! That's amazing.
I hope this isn't all in my mind (sort of "placebo effect" ??)"

"Hi Dr Haffejie,
I am looking and feeling terrific. No more sugar in tea or coffee. Very little coffee, actually - one cup at 4pm in the afternoon with one sachet of Xylitol. My abdomen is flattening and it's become soft, so I'm doing some exercise to tighten it up so that I don't go too flabby! (Not that anyone would notice, at my age!) I've had two strangers approach me while shopping and ask me what I use on my skin. Good grief, it really MUST show! How wonderful! My waistline is slimming down, from 89cm to 87 at the moment. I haven't lost weight - it just seems to have sort of moved around into the right places. How strange. I'm back to sleeping a solid 7 hours without waking (unless my dog suddenly barks and leaps out of the bed, sending me levitating with my heart pounding!) I am being SO good with the diet, and SO diligent about what I put in my mouth.
I think you're a star - and you probably think I'm mad, but that's okay!
Thanks for all you're doing for me."

"Good morning Doctor H! I want to let you know that Carl Louis is definitely better. The meds and gluten free approach is working for him - and for me. I do have better and more sustainable energy. Thank you so much!"
