Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
Topical estrogen is VERY Safe for women to start within 10 years of menopause or at <60 years of age. Testosterone is the most biologically abundant hormone in women and also depletes significantly by 50y of age; therefore, testosterone is also strongly considered in HRT for women.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Men
Testosterone typically depletes to half its peak levels by the time men are 43 years old. Testosterone is anabolic, which gives a feeling of doing work (physically, emotionally, mentally, sexually); and, at restorative levels, is considered very safe.
