WHAT IS HEALTH REJUVENATION?

The dictionary describes Rejuvenation as the act of making yourself “feeling younger, fresher, more alive”. Health Rejuvenation as a series of treatments utilizes state of the art hormone treatments to activate natural processes in your body that can reverse many of the debilitating effects of aging, increase metabolism, reduce stress and increase vitality and sexual performance. Every organ in your body is controlled by hormones secreted from glands inside your body. These hormones are released directly into the blood stream from various areas of your body. The pituitary gland, located in the brain, and the release of testosterone (located in the testes of men) are important glands for controlling overall body function. The net effect of these hormones control how you feel and how you body functions day after day. To achieve homeostasis, which is the “balance of life” that keeps a person alive, the body regulates the release of these hormones to the major organs when it receives feedback through the senses and as a reaction to activities and stresses in your environment. As the body ages an imbalance can occur in the natural release of hormones thus causing adverse effects to a persons general well being. Health Rejuvenation therapies have been known to reverse this slow and eventually debilitating process. Disease can also effect these glands and many symptoms of hormone deficiency are caused by various diseases.

WHO PERFORMS THIS PROCEDURE?

An endocrinologist is trained doctor who is an expert in hormone treatment in patients. Endocrinologists are specialist doctors who earn a four year of college, four years of medical school, three years of residency and three years of fellowship training. As a result they are adept at diagnosing and treating disease and conditions that are affected hormones in your body. Health Rejuvenation doctors can work with a patient to restore the vitality and function of organ by replacing or adding specific types of hormones to the body.

AVAILABLE TREATMENTS

There are two popular treatments for Health Rejuvenation utilizing hormone replacement:

- Human Growth Hormone (HGH) affects the pituitary gland that stimulates cell growth and controls the way the body maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis is critical to organ function retaining the ability to stay alive. The pituitary gland, which is the size of a pea, resides deep within the cortex of the brain. The pituitary gland is responsible for growth, blood pressure, breast milk production, sex organ functions in both men and women, thyroid gland function, metabolism, water regulation in the body and kidney function and regulating body temperature.

- Testosterone Therapy is a treatment that adds testosterone to both men and women, Testosterone in women can powerfully adjust moods and sexual desire. Small amounts of testosterone in women can have dramatic effects. In men testosterone can increase muscle performance for physically active men and enhance sexual prowess while increasing sex drive.

SIDE EFFECTS

Because of the relatively complex nature of hormones and hormone secreting glands in the body there are some endocrinologists who are skeptical as to the benefits of hormone therapy and replacement in healthy patients. No large scale and long term tests have been conducted conclusively stating the health benefits of hormone replacement therapy. In some cases adverse side effect of Testosterone Replacement have been the development of breasts in men. However, replacement therapy has been practiced for at least sixty years successfully. Breast Cancer in women has been diagnosed as a know side effect in rare instances of testosterone replacement.

CONCLUSION

Health Rejuvenation can be achieved from the application of replacement regimes and careful monitoring of hormone levels. Male total testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL are considered low depending on your age. Testosterone Replacement can be administered by an injection, oil rubs or a dietary supplements. Many of the benefits described by doctors and patients after Health Rejuvenation therapy sessions are reduced risk of osteoporosis, a diminished risk of developing diabetes, control of obesity, depression management without anti-depressants and improved chance of longevity. Low testosterone has been linked to development of Alzheimer's Disease.
