Why Do We Age?

No one really knows how and why we age. We know that changes happen as we get older. Some of the theories speculate that aging is caused by wear and tear on the body, by oxidative stress and the damaging effects of free radicals, by the byproducts of our metabolism, by the genetic predispositions regulated by our DNA, and finally by the hormonal changes that occur as we age.

No single theory can explain all the changes and it is most likely that aging is complex and the result of many different factors. Although we know that some changes will always occur as we age, it is evident that aging occurs at different rates for different people. At HRT-MD we treat our patients as individuals and address their unique needs. Hormone levels of people across society vary greatly as do the reference ranges of most hormonal assays. We don’t subscribe to the “your normal” mantra when it’s obvious that all of your clinically relevant signs and symptoms suggest hormonal imbalance.
