So much of who you are as a person is based on your hormone levels (both past levels and current levels). Hormone levels can literally affect the physical structure of your brain, immune system, bone density, and muscle mass. The current research on outcomes of hormone replacement therapy overwhelmingly tells a story of how optimal hormone levels produce better health outcomes for people. People age and feel better when their hormone levels are optimal for their body.
Hormones are so important I have decided to include them in one of my eight core areas for optimal health.
Receiving hormone replacement therapy is not a black and white outcome for everyone. Of course, some people should avoid it for specific reasons. In some circumstances, hormone replacement therapy might cause worse health outcomes. However, hormone replacement causing bad outcomes is the exception, not the rule.
I want to share a level headed discussion on the topic of testosterone replacement therapy from an expert in the field. He tells a story of how some misinformation about testosterone and cancer sent most doctors in the wrong direction in how they treated their ageing male patients.
