Interventions for Graceful Aging:
Genetics and Hormones
July 2013
  
Welcome your Interventions for Graceful Aging Newsletter. This source will provide some general information about the selected topics of interest and cutting edge anti-aging interventions. We plan to build your anticipation of each issue with what will be coming in the days, weeks, and months ahead for graceful aging.
  
Telomeres are considered an index of cell age and are like a clock of the cell's lifespan. Telomere shortening means the cell's lifespan is shortening. Recent research shows that telomere shortening plays an important role in human disease and mortality. More than 20 studies have shown associations between shorter telomere length and various types of cardiovascular disease (e.g., stroke, heart attacks) and diabetes.  Shorter telomeres have also been associated with cancer, osteoporosis, cognitive function, dementia, and arthritis.

 

On the flip-side, long telomeres are related to healthy aging and overall longevity.  Telomeres have no genetic function; they are simply stretches of DNA (repeats of base pairs) that protect the rest of the chromosome. These little bits of DNA are critical to healthy cell function and have been likened to the plastic tips on shoelaces because they prevent the chromosome from "fraying."

It is well known that the aging process results in failing hormonal vigor. This is the basis of menopause in women and the less appreciated but no less profound process of andropause in men.

 
Our goal at Sanctuary is to restore these waning levels to more nearly approximate the levels and more youthful ratios to achieve the balance you experienced in your mid-thirties.

 
This is how we can offer you the Super-Hormone Rejuvenation promise:
     More youthful vigor 
    Optimum energy levels
    Rejuvenated skin appearance and elasticity
 
Enhanced libido and sexual performance
  

Why Natural or Bioidentical Hormones?

In saying Natural, we mean that the hormones prescribed and used in our practice are identical to the native sex steroids that your body produces. Thus, the newer term, bioidentical hormones. These are not foreign. Although they may be synthesized in the lab they approximate the normal actions of your own internal hormonal levels
  

Solution: Balanced Therapy

The natural bioidentical hormonal replacement therapy program at Sanctuary is based on the notion that none of these individual hormones exist in isolation. Rejuvenation involves the carefully balanced replacement of multiple hormone levels.

Custom Compounding

Your program is custom compounded for you.

We use a compounded form of two plant-based, bioidentical estrogens (called BiEst) that your body is lacking: Estradiol (E2) and Estriol (E3).  We then balance that off with Natural Bioidentical Progesterone.  The balance and dosing is critical -- and all too frequently overlooked in conventional medicine. 

 

Sanctuary has partnered with Compounding Pharmacies with expertise in the creation of these

Men also have special needs. Men need, and are prescribed, DHEA for its cardioprotective, anti-aging and cancer protective effects. We suggest various forms of testosterone replacement frequently for it strengthening and revitalizing effects.  Testosterone creme or gel, in safe doses, is being widely recognized for an increasing list of medical conditions including the "dwindling" effects of the andropausal state.  This is being popularized as "the testosterone syndrome."
