Aging and Hormones
You don't have to live with it!
Remember how easy it was to stay in shape in your early 30’s? A big reason why is because of powerful chemicals in your body called hormones.
Hormones are chemicals secreted by your body into your bloodstream around the clock that serve as vital messengers to affect cells in other parts of your body. Hormones play a vital role in regulating your body’s physiological systems including the body’s metabolism, temperature, mood, reproduction, growth, aging, and immune system.
As you get older, your hormone levels drop. This hurts the performance of cells and organs that require hormones to function efficiently. Your brain, heart, internal organs, immune system, metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density all rely on adequate levels of functioning hormones. When your hormone levels drop, the signs and symptoms of aging are accelerated, including:
Biologically identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The supplementation of biologically identical hormones in order to achieve levels of young adults has been shown to reverse or improve the physical and functional signs of aging and to lower the risk of age related illnesses including cancer and heart disease.
The benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy include:
Hormone Replacement Therapy: Biologically Identical vs. Synthetic
“Biologically identical” hormones are hormones that have a chemical structure that is identical to the hormones produced in your body. Thus, these biologically identical hormones are processed and treated by your body in the exact same way as the hormones naturally produced in your body.
In stark contrast, “synthetic” hormones, which are the hormones usually prescribed by physicians such as Premarin, are not natural to the human body. Synthetic hormones can only mimic natural human hormones, so they can’t have the same effect on your cells and organs as natural hormones. In fact, these synthetic hormones can have a toxic effect on your body and can potentially lead to side effects and complications including mood swings, water retention, bloating, and cancer.
When it comes to hormone replacement and optimization, it is important to use biologically identical hormones. The quality of life you will expect from your hormone optimization will depend directly on the quality of hormones prescribed. You should insist in the prescription of biologically identical hormones only.
At the Age Management Institute at 77 Plastic Surgery, all prescribed hormones are always biologically identical.

- Fatigue and decline of energy and motivation
- Weight gain and loss of muscle mass
- Degenerative diseases (Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis)
- Thinning and wrinkling of the skin
- Stress and Depression
- Weakened Immune System (leading to frequent infections)
- Decline in memory and overall cognitive function
- Loss of sex drive and performance
- Sleep Disorders

Age Management at The Age Management Institute at 77 Plastic Surgery
During your initial consultation at The Age Management Institute of 77 Plastic Surgery, your physician will conduct a detailed history and physical examination. Blood will be drawn to determine the baseline levels of your body's own hormones and based on your symptoms we will determine the optimal bio-identical hormones that will be prescribed for you. Periodic re-evaluation of your hormone levels will be required until all of the levels are "optimal" and then annual follow-ups to monitor your therapy and optimize your treatment plan.
