While walking down the path of time, most people experience the effects of aging physically on their skin from fine lines, wrinkles, and dark pigmentations. If you struggle with the physical appearance of aging, I have some simple solutions for you.

I had the honor of attending a webinar hosted by Dr. Terry Hertoghe, a world-renown physician expert in hormone therapy. During this master class, Dr. Heritage talked about hormone therapy and how it can improve skin health. The old adage was that our hormones decline because we age, but the new answer is that we age because our hormones decline.

Fortunately, Dr. Hertoghe shared some practical solutions to skin health so that aging and its consequences may be unnecessary.

Hormone and peptide therapy can stop or even reverse the aging process, making you look 40 years old instead of 60.

It can even improve the outcomes of cosmetic procedures and surgeries. Whole health and balanced hormones improve your appearance from the inside out, reversing the physical aging of your skin, creating cellular rejuvenation, and improving the seemingly irreversible effects of aging.

Which Hormones Naturally Fight the Aging Process?

Growth hormone improves how your body distributes fat, improving both cellulite and muscle appearance. The physical appearance of the thyroid hormone dates back to 1889 when doctors starting seeing that a thyroid deficiency contributed to the aging process of the skin.

Women are usually after a youthful, feminine face which comes from female hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Decreased levels of these hormones can cause paleness, dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and even flat hair.

Estrogen deficiencies can cause a 70% decrease in feminization in females, and the effects are worse for males. Certain foods such as cereals and grains have been shown to decrease estrogen levels, so be cautious with your diet. After the age of 40, 25% of individuals have a testosterone deficiency.

Another hormone that Dr. Hertoghe talked about was oxytocin, the hormone of affection. If you’re deficient in oxytocin, you can’t feel well-connected to your spouse, your kids, or even your community. You’ll likely suffer from burnout, anxiety, and a loss of dignity.

Vasopressin is another important hormone, capable of reversing dehydration, smoothing skin folds, and improving sunken skin. Facial creams containing vitamin C, melatonin, and topical progesterone can help with pigment spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Topical progesterone can improve skin health, plus positively impact low moods, nervousness, and anxiety.

Balance Your Hormones for a Youthful Appearance

When it comes to hormones, it’s a delicate balance. You need the correct amount of hormones and you typically only need to supplement with small doses. Overdosing on hormones can create other kinds of problems, so have your levels tested and get appropriate prescriptions. Know that hormone therapy can take months, so you have to be patient with it.

In order to reverse the aging process, be proactive with your health and wellness. Don’t just wait for age to happen to you and hope you can decrease symptoms. Have your hormone levels tested so you can correct any deficiencies as soon as they’re detected.
