Anti-Aging Medicine at Wellness Architects

Hormones decline in all people as they age. Many physicians assume this is the natural way it should be. If a younger person were diagnosed with a hormonal deficiency, it would be quickly corrected.

It has been shown that changes that occur through normal aging, including osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, sleep disorders, and decreased sociability, are partly caused by a hormone decrease. Aging in men is associated with reduced protein synthesis, decreased lean body mass, decreased bone mass, and increased body fat. Women who go through menopause will notice dramatic changes in skin thickness, texture, hydration, and tightness. Women who stop hormone therapy notice the same disturbing changes.

Studies have shown that the loss of thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone hormones is responsible for this detrimental effect on the skin. The only way to treat and prevent changes in skin collagen and elastin and prevent wrinkles is through hormone replacement therapy. Replenishment of hormones to physiological levels (optimal but within normal limits) has been shown to alleviate these age-related changes. By fixing the proper hormonal levels, immunity is restored, and the prevention of future diseases is achievable. Wellness Architects will help you prevent and treat the signs of aging. If you feel better on the inside, you will look better on the outside.

We use radiology and laboratory results to diagnose and recommend starting with a program designed only for each patient. In addition to measuring hormones, risk factors are evaluated, such as Cardiac CRP, PSA, DHT, and Homocysteine, are evaluated in addition to measuring hormones, among others. Also, work on Insulin, Glucose, and Glycosylated Hemoglobin levels, which are associated with diabetes.
