Age Related Hormone Loss

Meaning

Age Related Hormone Loss clinically describes the physiological, measurable decline in the production and circulating concentrations of specific endogenous hormones that occurs as a natural consequence of chronological aging. This phenomenon encompasses the reduction in critical endocrine messengers like gonadal steroids (testosterone and estradiol) and somatotropic hormones. This widespread hormonal shift significantly contributes to the onset and manifestation of various age-related symptoms and systemic functional decline. Understanding this predictable process is absolutely central to the practice of restorative endocrinology.
