Hormones may be the unsung heroes of vitality, and Dr. Gustav Lo is leading the charge in their defense. As seen on “Live In The D,” Lo is shedding light on hormone replacement therapy’s newfound benefits for both men and women.
“Some people call this perimenopause. I don’t like that term because you tell a 37-year-old woman who’s tired and feels yucky and can’t sleep. You tell her she’s perimenopausal. She doesn’t like it,” Dr. Lo explained, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of hormonal changes.
Dr. Lo, from Cosmetic Skin and Laser Center and RegenCen, champions Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) over outdated methods. He explains that the hormones used today are identical to those naturally produced by our bodies, unlike previous treatments derived from sources like pregnant mare urine.
“Nowadays, we use bioidentical hormones,” said Lo, emphasizing their safety and efficacy. “That means atom for atom, they’re exactly the same as we make, whether it’s men or women.”
Research supports Lo’s assertions, showing hormone replacement therapy can significantly reduce risks of heart attack, stroke, and even Alzheimer’s for women, while providing men with renewed energy and vitality.
For those feeling out of sorts, Dr. Lo’s message is clear: understanding and addressing hormone imbalances can be life-changing. For more information, visit regencen.com.
