Macro-Level Factors That Shorten our Life Span

"Now, let’s touch on the hormonal changes programmed into our bodies, changes that affect aging at the macro level. Hormones are your body’s chemical messenger system, telling your body what to do and when. In regard to aging, they tell your body how to age and when, and changes in any hormone can affect aging.

• Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels relate to the onset of menopause (in both men and women), the change most women associate with aging.
• Changes in testosterone affect our outlook on life (our drive), the disappearance of muscle mass, and the shrinkage of our bodies associated with old age.
• Growth hormone affects everything from muscle/fat ratios to the graying of hair.
• When melatonin levels drop as we age, it affects things as diverse as how well we sleep to how strong our immune system is -- even how resistant we are to cancer.

Reestablishment of a youthful hormonal balance can be achieved by neutralizing the effects of xenoestrogens on the body and by supplementing with bioidentical hormones in small amounts, or by supplementing with herbs or secretagogues that assist your own body in increasing production of the necessary hormones."
