Report Slow Down Stop Reverse Aging

"I
was
taught
that
there
was
no
male
menopause
and
for
years
accepted
that
as
fact.
A
series
of
events
in
my
own
health
and
the
discovery
that
several
pioneering
physicians
held
entirely
differing
points
of
view
changed
my
mind
and
transformed
my
conception
of
age-related
illness
and
preventive
medicine.
Until
that
point,
I
had
seen
aging
as
an
unrelenting
natural
process
that
it
was
best
to
accept
gracefully.
Preventive
medicine
was
an
attempt
to
treat
or
modify
specific
risk
factors
that,
like
a
sleeping
lion,
would
jump
up
and
bite
you
later
in
life.

"My
perspective
changed
dramatically.
Clearly,
preventive
medicine
would
widen
in
scope
if
it
turned
out
aging
was
reversible.
And,
to
a
significant
extent,
it
is.
The
male
menopause,
a
grim
milestone
in
the
middle
passage
of
a
man's
life,
can
be
rolled
back.

"Testosterone
decline
is
at
the
core
of
that
male
menopause
(and
a
key
element
in
the
female
menopause
as
well).
Naturally,
the
two
sexes
have
a
different
experience
of
midlife
menopausal
change.
In
women,
there
is
an
explosion
of
in-your-face
symptoms,
while
men's
very
similar
symptoms
sneak
in
the
back
door
unexpectedly
life
a
thief
in
the
night.
Too
often,
loss
of
energy,
ambition,
sexual
drive,
and
a
host
of
minor
symptoms
are
written
off
as
'burnout'
or
depression.

"Women,
meanwhile,
have
already
learned
that
hormone
replacement
therapy
results
in
reversal
of
the
physical
changes
of
menopause.
Men,
confronted
by
an
information
vacuum,
still
need
to
make
the
same
discovery.

"There
are,
of
course,
scientists
on
both
sides
of
the
fence.
Even
after
forty
years
of
experience,
few
subjects
engender
more
emotion
and
controversy
than
estrogen
replacement
for
women.
Yet
the
vast
majority
of
studies
show
a
risk-benefit
ratio
that
emphatically
favors
the
camp
of
hormonal
replacement.
The
considerable
literature
on
testosterone
replacement
shows
a
very
similar
balance
of
benefit
over
risk.
Keep
that
in
mind
and
remember
that
quality
of
life
is
clearly
the
cornerstone
of
all
treatment
decisions.
