Anti-Aging Scams Uncovered And Bio-Identical Hormones, Good Or Bad?

By Dr. Thomas Polucki

Anti-aging scams and bio-identical hormones are a growing concern for baby boomers and the gen x.

None of us are getting any younger and there is always someone trying to cash in on our hopes of looking and feeling younger. I especially like the wrinkle cream commercials that use 20 year old models.

When it comes to hormones…

You don’t see the estrogen hormone replacement therapy commercials anymore because too many women were dying from estrogen induced heart attacks, strokes and cancers.Dr Polucki - Anti Aging

But lately, there has been an interesting twist in hormone marketing, the Low T (testosterone) campaign targeting men.

I have recently seen the testosterone levels of men who were treated by an “anti-aging specialist” and the testosterone levels of the men and their wives, from secondary exposure, were 100 times normal.

When it comes to hormones, more is not better.

Sure, if you pump enough testosterone into an older male,vyou are going to see more virility, but at what cost? Remember the Oakland Raiders from the 70’s? Are any of them still alive? Did you know Hitler was on testosterone therapy?

Higher testosterone levels in women has been linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS.

And don’t even get me started on the genius who though it was a good idea to give peri/post-menopausal women hormones to mimic their menstrual cycle. Isn’t the best part of menopause getting rid of that monthly roller coaster?

Anti-aging

After 10 years of formal health science education and 2 years of teaching, I did not know what to do when my wife went into a hellacious menopausal meltdown, just weeks after we were told by her gynecologist that all the blood tests and exams were fine and we still had years to start a family.

We suffered through various specialists with no long term relief. Finally, after two years of sleepless nights, lining the bed with beach towels and almost losing everything, we found the answer in Functional Medicine.

Long story short, within two weeks of getting on the appropriate detoxification and bio-identical hormone protocols, my wife’s symptoms were gone and have not returned in over five years now.

I now hold three certifications in functional medicine and combined with my advanced upper cervical chiropractic certification I am able to help more people than ever.

While I am not a fan of conventional hormone replacement therapy, I have found that bio-identical hormones used in a conservative way, as part of a complete healthy lifestyle program can be very beneficial.

Although not covered by insurance, low dose bio-identical hormones and quarterly monitoring is very affordable compared to protocols recommended by most anti-aging specialists who charge hundreds of dollars every month.

And you can learn most of the lifestyle homework for free!
