Age Discrimination

Meaning

In the context of hormonal health and wellness, Age Discrimination refers to the systemic or individual bias that leads to differential or inadequate clinical care, treatment, or access to preventative measures based solely on a patient’s chronological age. This bias often manifests as the premature attribution of complex physiological symptoms, such as fatigue or cognitive decline, to ‘normal aging’ rather than a treatable hormonal imbalance or endocrine dysfunction. Such clinical dismissal can impede timely diagnosis and appropriate restorative therapy, negatively impacting healthspan. It fundamentally undermines the pursuit of optimal longevity by discouraging proactive intervention.
