The Truth About Menopause

Your hormone levels change well before menopause

Much of what we hear in mainstream culture about women and aging is continually, and erroneously, connected to post-menopause.  But guess what?  Once you've entered menopause your body is well beyond most of the telltale signs and symptoms of premature aging.  Most women have exhibited signs of premature aging for years prior to the actual onset of menopause.

Here's the deal: reach full menopause, enter the post-menopausal phase, and your hormones have already drastically changed.  Menopause marks a significant shift in physical and emotional states, innately keyed to your hormones.  Primary to female aging and "the change of life" is the cluster of like hormones simply referred to collectively as estrogen: estradiol, estriol and estrone.  As women begin the transition into pre-menopause and menopause, the balance of estrogenic hormones shifts quite abruptly, bringing with it rapid age-related changes.

How age management medicine makes a difference

Medical age-management for women, like that practiced by the experts at Stocks Institute, may actually help protect your body.  Breakthrough medical studies are just now showing that most previous anti-aging studies conducted on women have focused on those post menopausal, those well into their 60s.  While these have proven effective, even bigger benefits of anti-aging medicine and hormone therapy are seen in peri-menopausal women.

Women that act quickly to treat signs of early aging could have far fewer risks associated with osteoporosis, breast cancer, high cholesterol, hormone deficiency, and heart disease.
