Our body's, both
men and women, must produce adequate amounts of hormones
to live a healthy and happy lifestyle. The 3 most important
of these hormones is testosterone, estrogen and Human
Grown Hormone, hGH. Each one is found in both sexes
yet in a different balance for each sex.
Men need more
testosterone than women, yet they also need estrogen.
Similarly, women need more estrogen to feel and look
like a woman, yet they too need a balanced amount of
testosterone in their body.
Growth Hormone,
produced by the pituitary gland, is also a vital agent
that all of us must have in sufficient amounts. This
super hormone regulates our mood, body weight, sex drive,
sleep patterns and our body's ability to heal itself.
Some of us, for
different reasons, whether it be due to physical dysfunction
or stress, do not have the delicate balance of these
hormones needed to live a healthy and stable life.
If you abuse
your body with an unhealthy lifestyle or bad eating
habits, lack of sleep, lack of sunlight and an overall
negative attitude, you may be hindering your body's
natural ability to produce and regulate these hormones.
I always advise correcting these areas before passing
any judgment on the body's inability to produce and
regulate adequate amounts of hormones.
However, if you
already live a healthy lifestyle and continue to feel
fatigued, overweight, sick, depressed, uninterested
in sex, or moody, you may need to have your hormones
tested then adjusted with hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy
can be approached with two angles.
- You can give
your body what it's lacking through methods such as
oral consumption or injection.
- You can help
your body produce and regulate its own stores of hormones
through a change in diet with fresh food, herbs, exercise,
sunlight and an overall positive attitude.
