After the age of 40, losing weight can be difficult. Often, we find ourselves facing weight-related health problems. While the reasons it can be so difficult can vary from person to person due to genetics, other factors can play a role in making it difficult to shed those pounds. Reduced metabolism as we get older is a major factor, as well as changes in hormone levels related to weight.It’s not your fault. There could be treatable medical issues preventing you from losing weight.Hormone Optimization Therapy may be the key to getting the trim waistline that you have been working so hard to get. Optimize U has helped many clients find that elusive final piece of the puzzle and achieve their weight loss goals!
Hormones are compounds synthesized by the body in multiple organs that act as messengers to control or coordinate various actions throughout the body. They play a critical role in our metabolism, cognition, strength, bone health, sleep, sexual functions, immune functions, and many other aspects of essential bodily systems. Although our model stems around the critical hormone called Testosterone, it certainly isn’t the only consideration, yet it will be the focus of attention in most of the following information and likely the major consideration or talking point of the majority of clients/patients that you interact with — especially men!
The unfortunate reality that one must come to terms with is: WE’RE ALL AGING. As the aging process unfolds, hormone levels typically decline. Certainly, other factors play a role in declining or fluctuating hormone levels but the one that’s most difficult to escape is our age. Aging classically involves higher body-fat percentages, lower lean muscle masses, weaker bone density, lowered sex drive, lowered sexual performance, decreased ability to recover from injury/stress, slower mentation capabilities, slower metabolism, and various other unpleasantness. Likely the term “anti-aging” that you may hear in marketing situations or even medication considerations will in some way relate to manipulating hormones because the vast majority of the above symptoms of aging could be diminished by manipulating hormone levels to mimic the levels typically seen in youth. This is the foundation of Hormone Optimization: to replace hormones in such a way so as to mimic youthful health and vitality traits.
As we discussed above, everyone is aging and this affliction is our unfortunate reality. Certainly, there are those of us who “age gracefully” and likely those people are genetically fortunate and combine their gifted gene pool with healthy activity levels and diet choices. It is possible that this “sublime” example of a human seemingly “never ages” nor voices the typical complaints of his or her age group. This person is an outlier to the bell curve. Most people DON’T have perfect genetics, live stress-free, eat perfectly, or exercise enough. Thus it is likely the vast majority of society will at some point perceive their vitality declining and it is those people who will likely seek out the services we offer and may benefit from Hormone Optimization to combat one or more of their complaints.
