Hormones the Key to Losing Weight after 40

Dec. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- You need more than a diet to maintain your ideal weight after 40. Age management science combined with physician-based fitness and nutrition is a three tiered approach that works. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT, favors weight loss by increasing lipid oxidation, improving insulin response and lowering plasma lipids.

As you age, your metabolism tends to decelerate by about 5% for every decade of life past age 40, so that if your resting metabolic rate is 1,200 calories per day at age 40, it will be around 1,140 at age 50. So if suddenly your same old regime is no longer working, you may want to consider BHRT--medically linked to weight loss after 40.

But metabolism is really only a small part of the story. Age and life tend to conspire against us in the battle to lose weight over 40. As aging occurs, hormones naturally decrease, affecting mind and body. FitMed Partners offers safe, natural solutions to halt the biological sabotage and to return hormones to optimal levels.


There exists a lot of confusion and concern about the safety of hormonal replacement therapies in both men and women.
The safety and benefits of natural bioidentical hormones are well established in the medical literature, as opposed to the harmful effects seen using the synthetic hormones typically used in the past.
 
Hormone optimization refers to the science of restoring hormones to clinically appropriate levels. As the aging process takes place, hormone levels tend to decrease, yet men and women rely on a proper balance of estrogen, testosterone, DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone) thyroid, cortisol, insulin and growth hormone.
