HORMONES The Principal Players Primary functions listed; secondary actions are not included. • Testosterone: Produced in testes, ovaries and the adrenal glands. Enhances libido, erectile function and energy levels; strengthens bones; builds muscle; promotes muscle tone; creates a sense of well-being. • DHEA: Formed by adrenal glands, a precursor to testosterone, estrogens and androgens. A protein builder and repairer, DHEA protects against stress, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s; aids in preventing wrinkles and dry eyes; increases libido, energy levels, memory and immunity. • Estrogen: Produced in ovaries, body fat and adrenal glands. Helps protect against cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and incontinence; enhances libido, skin tone, emotional well-being, sleep, cognitive acuity, mood, sensory function and digestion. • Progesterone: Produced by ovaries (testes in men) and adrenal glands. Helps enhance mood and sense of well-being, aids brain function, stimulates bone-building osteoblasts and regulates/balances other hormones. • Thyroid: Produced in thyroid gland. Helps every cell, by monitoring and regulating metabolic rate. • Cortisol: Formed in adrenal glands. Regulates blood pressure, increases energy, influences metabolism and glucose balance, helps cope with stress and infection. • hGH: Only prescribed when comprehensive testing reveals an adult deficiency. Produced by pituitary gland. Stimulates body tissue growth and skin hydration; promotes bone and muscle growth; regulates energy and metabolism. Hormonal Optimization Your Executive Health Evaluation opens a window to your particular physiology, from metabolism to endocrine system and beyond. If clinically indicated, hormonal optimization may be part of your Cenegenics program—helping you regain a balanced endocrinologic state for optimal health. We focus on reducing insulin and cortisol levels, which promote aging and degenerative disease, then concentrate on supplementing diminished hormone levels. Delivery methods differ. For example, women typically use testosterone in cream form, while men use the injectable hormone, stimulating hormone or both. After hormone therapy begins, laboratory markers (including hormone blood levels) are followed at regularly scheduled intervals with adjustments to ensure effectiveness, safety and appropriate levels, at the upper percentile norm for your age. v.
