Hormone Replacement Therapy

As we age past 45-50y, estrogen and testosterone deplete significantly. Both hormones contribute significantly to our health. And as such, depletion increases our risk of many chronic diseases.

Estrogen:

1. Stimulates collagen and elastin for improved skin integrity and elasticity

2. Increases hyaluronic acid and sebum production improving skin hydration, turgor, and thickness

3. Improves blood flow to skin

4. Counteracts photo-aging

5. Enhances facial attractiveness and perceived age in women

6. Restores vaginal and vulva tissue, blood flow and hydration

7. Restores vaginal microbiome (healthy bacteria that protects against invasive bacteria strains)

8. Maintains optimal pH balance of skin, vaginal and urinary tissue

9. Decreases vaginal and urinary irritation and infections

10. Decreases risk for cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attack)

11. Improves fat metabolism

12. Decreases abdominal fat and visceral fat (fat that infiltrates the organs)

13. Decreases risk for metabolic dysfunction (diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol)

14. Improves bone density and decreases risk of osteoporosis (and related risk of fractures)

15. Maintains cognition (memory and concentration)

16. Decreases risk of Alzheimer’s Disease

17. Improves sleep

18. Improves mood (anxiety, irritability, depression)

19. Improves bone and joint inflammation (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis)

20. Decreases risk for fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome

21. Supports immune regulation

22. Slows down the aging process by decreasing organ dysfunction and inflammation

23. Decreases incidence and symptoms of long Covid

24. Decreases risk of many cancers

25. Minimizes vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog)

26. Decreases ALL-CAUSE-MORTALITY (decreases risk of every single cause of death)
