The
Inevitability of Andropause
Although
not as sudden and severe as menopause, Andropause is a significant
issue which will eventually affect every man's life and vitality.
Andropause is the slow period of hormonal change which begins to take
effect during the middle of a man's life. Although hormonal decline
begins long before it becomes symptomatic, the symptoms generally
begin to appear even in healthy men around the age of menopause in
women.
What
Triggers Andropause?
We still
have a lot to learn about Andropause. We understand a lot about how
hormone decline takes place, but researchers do not fully understand
the whys. What we do know is that both Human Growth Hormone and
Testosterone Levels peak during the teens and twenties, before
entering a life long slow state of decline in the late twenties or
early thirties. Hormone Decline is nefarious.
Although
you won't recognize the changes from year to year, over the course of
many years, the way your body feels and reacts to stimuli will change
shockingly over the course of a ten to fifteen year span. On average,
both Testosterone Levels and Human Growth Hormone Levels will drop at
a rate of about one to two percent per year, depending upon your
health and genetics.
People who
have poor exercise habits and those that are obese will experience
these changes more quickly than those that are healthy. This means
that you lose ten to twenty percent of your hormone production every
decade!
Although
Andropause is an inevitability, there are fantastic treatment options
available for men that feel that the symptoms are having a negative
effect upon the way that they live and enjoy life. Hormone
Replacement Therapy is a clinically proven medical treatment which
has been shown to resolve Testosterone and Human Growth Hormone
Deficiency effectively, helping you live a happier and more
productive life.
How
does Low-T Happen?
There is a
particular biological process that occurs over time which leads
directly to the Low Testosterone Levels of Andropause. When we are
young, robust, and healthy, the hypothalamus sends strong and
frequent signals to the pituitary gland to release Testosterone
precursors to the testes. As a result, the body creates ample amounts
of Testosterone, enough to contribute fully to a vibrant and
energetic lifestyle.
As a man
gets older, however, the hypothalamus starts to send weaker signals
for those Testosterone Precursors, which prevent the testes from
receiving sufficient signals for Testosterone Production. This leads
to the hallmark symptoms of Testosterone Deficiency.
Symptoms
of Testosterone Deficiency
Fatigue
– Testosterone is a powerful metabolite, generating energy
for the body. Without healthy T-Levels, men start to become tired
and exhausted more easily.
Increased
Weight Gain – Testosterone is important, because it acts
as a counterbalance for forces in your body that cause you to gain
weight. Without enough Testosterone, your body will produce
abnormally high levels of Estrogen and Cortisol, which both
encourage fat accumulation.
Irritability
– Testosterone is a central aspect of a healthy male
psychology. Healthy T-Levels promote assertiveness and positive
outlook. Low-T often causes men to experience problems with anxiety
and irritability.
Loss
of Muscle Mass – Testosterone is the most powerful
anabolic hormone produced by the human body. A man's testosterone is
what causes him to have a body that's fit and strong. Without
sufficient Testosterone, muscle mass will inevitably decline.
Depression
– Research has also shown that Low-T can have a
significant effect upon happiness and feelings of satisfaction and
fulfillment. Testosterone Deficiency can eat away at your very
ability to enjoy life.
Erectile
Dysfunction – Testosterone Deficiency can also destroy
your sex drive and your ability to even engage in enjoyable sexual
activity – Testosterone is the match that lights the fuse of
sexuality, and without enough of it, you won't be able to fuel your
desire.
Treating
Andropause-Related Low-T
Although
many forms of Testosterone Deficiency can be resolved or alleviated
by changing one's health habits, Andropause is a problem because
there is no way to improve your Testosterone Levels beyond a certain
baseline. That's no reason to resign yourself to this intensely
negative aspect of the aging process, however.
Testosterone
Hormone Replacement Therapy has been proven in the lab and in the
field to effectively bring Testosterone Levels up to the healthy
levels of early adulthood. The medical form of Testosterone is
Biologically Identical to the Testosterone your own body generates,
so there is no risk of rejection. Testosterone HRT can quickly and
safely restore more normal and healthy T-Production.
Testosterone
Treatments are offered in a number of different ways, its just up to
you to choose which form of treatment appeals to you. There are
Testosterone Patches, Pellets, Implants, Creams and Sprays available
which can help promote a healthier and brighter you!
How
does Andropause-related HGH Deficiency Happen?
Andropause
causes both Testosterone Deficiency and Growth Hormone Deficiency
through similar mechanisms. Like Testosterone, Human Growth Hormone
Production is ultimately mediated by the hypothalamus. When your
hypothalamus receives signs that the body needs HGH, it sends a
hormone called Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone to the pituitary,
which directly stimulates tiny organs in the pituitary known as
Somatotrophs to release HGH into the body.
As you
enter your late twenties or early thirties, the signals for Human
Growth Hormone production start to weaken. There is no known
biological advantage for this to occur, but it has a devastating
effect on the way that men live their lives.
Symptoms
of Human Growth Hormone Deficiency
Testosterone
and Human Growth Hormone share some symptoms, while Human Growth
Hormone Deficiency produces some unique problems as well:
Reduced
Muscle Mass – Although Testosterone promotes muscle mass
through anabolic means, Human Growth Hormone also stimulates muscle
mass by enhancing the body's ability to repair the muscles after
exercise. Men with HGH Deficiency have trouble achieving gains as
quickly from workouts, and they take longer to recover physically
from exercise.
Increased
Fat Mass – Like Testosterone, Human Growth Hormone is
another powerful metabolite produced by the human body to promote
healthy weight. HGH Production is negatively affected by obesity and
weight gain, creating a terrible cycle of weight gain which is
incredibly difficult to triumph over.
Osteoporosis
– Although Low-T Levels have an affect upon bone health as
well, HGH Deficiency has a far more dangerous effect upon bone
health. Human Growth Hormone promotes the healthy cycling of bone
material, and it also maintains healthy and smooth cartilage.
Lack
of Energy – Human Growth Hormone activates energy from fat
tissue, giving the body a healthy influx of energy throughout the
day. Andropause can reduce the ability of HGH to unlock the energy
of adipose fat, slowing you down and making you groggy and fatigued.
Andropause can also upset the delicate balance between insulin and
HGH, further depressing Growth Hormone Levels, especially after
meals loaded with carbs and sugars.
Human
Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy
HGH
Deficiency caused by Andropause has a devastating effect on human
health and well being, but there are two amazing ways to restore
healthy Human Growth Hormone Levels in order to stimulate a stronger
and healthier body and mind. The first of these treatment options is
Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone HRT.
Growth
Hormone Replacement Therapy restores GH Levels by providing the body
with a stable outside source of the hormone. Unlike Testosterone
Replacement Therapy, as of today, there is only one way to provide
this treatment: via injection. Human Growth Hormone Injections are
administered via Subcutaneous Injection, meaning that a small gauge
needle delivers the medication just below the top layers of the skin.
These
injections are easy to administer and no more painful than an insulin
injection. The injections are required on a daily basis, and over the
course of a few months, the benefits of the treatment will fully take
hold. You will likely experience some benefits related to energy,
cognition, and temperament very quickly, while physical changes will
begin to take place over a slightly longer period of time.
Sermorelin
Acetate Therapy
Another
form of therapy which restores Human Growth Hormone Levels
effectively is known as Sermorelin Acetate Therapy. Sermorelin
Acetate is a medical version of the precursor hormone which
stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone, known as Growth
Hormone-Releasing Hormone. Although the two are biologically
different, they have the same functional effect upon the human body.
Sermorelin Acetate is simply a truncated version of the GH-RH
molecule itself. Like Bio-Identical HGH, Sermorelin Acetate is also
provided only via subcutaneous injection.
Why
Choose Sermorelin Acetate over Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone?
Although
what medication you choose is ultimately up to the judgment of you
and a medical professional, Sermorelin Acetate functions slightly
differently within the human body than injectable HGH. When you
inject Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone, you directly replace HGH
that the body is not sufficiently producing on its own. Because of
this, the body has no means of regulating HGH Levels.
Sermorelin
Acetate Injections, on the other hand, deliver GH-RH, which is
regulated in the brain by a hormone known as Somatostatin. When the
body senses that it has enough HGH in its system, it releases
Somatostatin to block receptors in the pituitary which stimulate HGH
Production. Via this method, the body receives exactly as much Human
Growth Hormone as it needs, preventing the risk of abuse and
overdose.
In
addition to this, the brain is able to release Human Growth Hormone
naturally via the pituitary, preserving pituitary function, and
providing HGH to the body on its own, natural terms. Some studies
suggest that because Sermorelin Acetate Injections promote natural
HGH Release Patterns, it helps the body use HGH more effectively, and
prevents the development of hormone tolerance.
