Hormone Optimization for Anti-Aging: What You Need to Know

Last updated: 2025-08-02 Source: CareRetreats Author: Helen

Hormonal decline is one of the root causes of visible and internal aging. Learn how hormone optimization therapies are helping people maintain youth, energy, and mental clarity.

Why Hormones Matter

As we age, levels of estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and growth hormone decline—impacting mood, metabolism, bone density, and libido.

Types of Therapy

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
  • Thyroid support
  • DHEA and melatonin support

Safety and Monitoring

Hormone therapy should be doctor-supervised and include regular blood testing to monitor side effects and dosage.

FAQ:
Q1: Is hormone therapy only for menopause or andropause?

A: No. It can support cognitive function, mood, and metabolic health in both men and women over 40.

Q2: Are natural alternatives effective?

A: Some herbs (e.g., maca, ashwagandha) may offer mild support but don’t replace clinical HRT.

Editor’s Note:
