What is Hormone replacement therapy [HRT]?
HRT is one of several medical specialties of the endocrine systems, dealing with hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that decline in production as we age. While many of these hormones can be replaced to deter some of the effects of aging, HGH goes far beyond the effect of any one of these hormones to not only slow down biological aging but also to significantly reverse many of the effects of aging. Researchers have proven that HGH therapy can reverse the effects of aging by as much as 10 to 20 years with less than one year of treatment. HGH replacement therapy is the key to rejuvenation and to adding years of vitality on to your life. HGH is the key for life extension and healthy aging.

What is HGH?
HGH is a branch chain of 191 amino acids which are a form of protein. HGH is secreted throughout our lifetimes, but the body produces HGH at its greatest levels when an individual is going through what is known as puberty. We have all been through that awkward growth spurt where it seems that are arms and legs don't really belong to the rest of our body. HGH decreases in its secretion as we age due to a few different factors. Its supplementation is key in enhancing all cellular functions as we age. Research articles in very prominent magazines have actually used the term "Reversal of the Aging Process" when referring to HGH in its articles. We at AAMI truly believe in the use of HGH and have had the fortune of watching it change peoples lives who have committed themselves to proper implementation through the supervision of AAMI.

What is Testosterone?
Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testes in response to a feedback loop which is known as the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testes Axis. The decreased production of testosterone in both males and females is responsible for a mirage of symptoms. The primary ones that are seen in individuals are that of a decreased sex drive, and a lack of energy. Patients also complain frequently of consistent alterations in their mood, commonly known as mood swings. Through proper blood testing and supplementation it is amazing to see what happens in the lives of those under proper supervision. What is so amazing and rewarding is to see not only the changes in our patients, but also in the lives of their loved ones.

How are hormones replaced?
There are several methods of replacing hormones, but the most effective way to replace HGH is taken by daily injection, It is easy and painless. Testosterone is replaced using either weekly injections or a transdermal topical gel formulated to your needs that is applied to the surface of the skin in the morning.

Does HRT work?
This is not a fanciful search for the fountain of youth. It is medical science at it best. Over the years there have been thousands of case studies and medical trials that provide absolute, conclusive evidence that hormone therapy works and has many benefits that result in better health, energy and sexuality. It is board certified doctors using sophisticated lab tests and treatment protocols to produce life-altering results. We have men and women tell us there was life before and after marriage, before and after children and now before and after hormone therapy.

When should I think about replacing hormones? In the typical person, hormones start to decline by the mid to late twenties. By age 35 declines are sufficient that symptoms maybe evident. The best time to start replacing hormones is between age 35 and 55. However it is never too late. There are people in their 80's that have benefited from from hormone replacement therapy.

How safe is it?
There are numerous studies that have come out over the past years that have attested to the safety of natural hormone replacement.

What results should you expect from a complete therapy program?
The goal of (HRT) hormone replacement therapy is to prevent illness related to aging early on, so that we can maintain a vigorous and productive lifestyle. Hormone replacement therapy is now more then ever is regarded as a leading treatment for aging (anti-aging).

Many other factors affect how we age and how long we live. Maintaing proper diet, exercise, supplementation and nutrition can and does improve our chances of living longer healthier lives, but never the less time does not stand still and HRT hormone replacement therapy has been proven to increase our live expectation and well beign.

What kind of results can I expect?
Everyone is different, but generally after a complete six month therapy program you can expect significant results in your apperance, performance and well beign:

Do you recommend replacing both HGH and Testosterone at the same time?
Hormones may be replaced separately or in any combination. Better results are obtained from taking a combination of hormones. We like to say there is a 1+1=3 relationship. We understand the cost limitation on growth hormone. The benefits far outweigh the cost.

How will I lose weight?
HGH recontours the body changing your body composition reducing the fat and increasing lean muscle mass. It's like a metabolic liposuction, vacuuming out the fat from underneath, especially the abdominal area. Unfortunately, the more body fat you have especially in your mid section the less HGH you release. HGH accelerates the burning of fat by making it available as fuel. By increasing free fatty acids, HGH makes the fat stores available for energy production. Fat cells have HGH receptors and when the HGH binds to the receptors, it triggers a series of enzymatic reactions in the cell to break down fat. This is called lipolysis. You see with HGH you're changing the hormonal message telling your body to get rid of fat. HGH also increases your energy expenditures overall so that you actually burn calories faster, a neat metabolic trick. HGH is unlike any other method designed to take off fat and increase muscle because it works with your body's natural order, rather than against it.

How will I build solid muscle?
HGH working thru IGF-1 increases the uptake of amino acids in the cell and enhances synthesis of DNA, RNA, proteins extra cellular proteins, carbs, and sugars. The result is an increase in cell size accelerating cell division resulting in accelerated muscle growth. It also builds muscle by conserving nitrogen. Ordinarily when you loose weight you excrete nitrogen which is needed for muscle tissue. But HGH keeps the body from losing nitrogen. It also increases protein synthesis without increasing the breakdown of proteins in the cell. Accelerated cell division also means speedy healing and repair after injury.

Will hormone therapy help sexual dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction can have many causes; however replacing hormones is the best place to start treatment. We suggest raising your testosterone to a healthy level along with growth hormone, (if cost is not a prohibitive factor), to boost your sex drive. There are also non-prescription products such as Male Performance Plus that increase the amount of nitric oxide in the blood to aid sexual mechanics. If there is still need for assistance, consider something like Viagra. This process has been found to fix over 90% of problems of sexual function. We strongly recommend not using a product such as Viagra without first taking care of testosterone levels. You may find that the mechanics are temporarily fixed, but you will not have a desire to use the erection.

Will hormone replacement cause my natural hormone production to decline?
Cycling of hormones is designed to minimize the possibility of a decline in your natural hormone production. Cycling is taking time off from hormone replacement. When outside hormones are introduced into the body, the gland producing that hormone senses that the body has an adequate supply of the hormone and does not need to work as hard and may become "lazy". Cycling is mandatory for HGH and for men under 45 on testosterone.

Are there side effects?
There is absolutely no evidence suggesting that if used under a doctor's care that there are any unfavorable long term side effects. If abused you may develop a wrist condition called carpel tunnel syndrome which is inflammation of wrist tendons, water retention, gynecomastia or acromegaly.

What about oral HGH or HGH stimulants?
Advertisements that claim they have real HGH in a spray or pill may in fact contain small amounts of HGH. There is some evidence that HGH can enter the blood stream if absorbed directly into the membranes of the mouth, but oral HGH therapy is not as effective as a medically supervised injectable program. It has been medically proven that HGH cannot be absorbed through the digestive system.
