Are You Too Old for Hormone Therapy?

In 2004, Dr. Shelley Salpeter and her associates published their analysis of 30 studies (almost 27,000 women) to see the “lay of the hormone land” of how hormones affect our “expiration” (remember, these studies were done on synthetic hormones – not bioidentical).

They found that if women “initiated” hormone therapy before 60 years of age, they received extra heart and cancer protective benefits.

If women “initiated” hormones after 60, they did NOT get the equivalent heart and cancer benefit. But what so many, too many, are ignoring, is that there are so many other benefits. You are not too old to initiate treatment so you can enjoy the ultimate quality of life in your golden years!

Estrogen is a “moisture” hormone. It has over 400 functions in the body. When it wanes naturally with time, you may notice changes in your body such as dry hair, dry eye, skin changes, joint pain, vaginal dryness, painful sexual relations, and many more uncomfortable feelings.  

When I optimize hormones, I hear from my patients that they get a nice, delicious sleep, feel more like exercising, and have better results when they do exercise. Sexual thoughts are more, and sexual satisfaction is far better. Temperature swings, vaginal dryness is repaired.  Anxiety and depression may be relieved, brain fog lifted and for many, joint pain is relieved. We tend to think of testosterone and estradiol as “sex hormones” but as you can see, they have multi-system functions that are important for our wellbeing.
