Declining Hormones?

Does your mind say yes when your body says no?

You had expected that this period of your life would be different, that you would feel different. You’re left wanting increased muscle mass, faster recovery from workouts, and more energy. You want better sexual performance, weight loss, and overall better vitality. Most of all you want to feel young again. Hormone imbalance may be at the root of the physical and mental issues you are experiencing.

Bio-identical hormones, administered through a physician-prescribed treatment plan, will provide you with the means to end the “wanting” and start the “living”.  With scientific breakthroughs, every day, Eternity has partnered with pharmacies to supply our customers with the highest quality medications. 

Male Hormone Deficiency Explained

Fighting Low T

As men age their testosterone levels decrease, a condition known as low testosterone or Low-T develops. When the testosterone levels begin dropping this is the beginning of a process known as andropause. Some people refer to this as male menopause.

 When andropause occurs men can experience lower energy levels, loss of muscle mass, decreased libido and poorer sleep to name a few of the symptoms. It has also been found that men with higher levels of testosterone often have a higher quality of life and higher life expectancy.

Studies have also shown men with lower testosterone levels have a much higher risk of developing osteoporosis and diabetes. Sadly, hormone deficiencies often go undetected, leading physicians to treat symptoms like depression, rather than the underlying hormonal problem. These physicians are treating the symptom and not the cause.

Symptoms of Low T

  • Decreased Sex Drive
  • Difficulty Achieving an Erection
  • Low Semen Volume
  • Fatigue and Lack of Energy
  • Loss of Muscle Mass
  • Increase in Body Fat
  • Decrease in Bone Mass
  • Mood Changes
  • Sleep Disturbances
  • Depression

Decreasing HGH Levels

Human Growth Hormone often referred to as HGH is another hormone that decreases over time. Human growth hormone is responsible for many important functions such as bone growth, muscle growth and brain functions. When a person hits their mid 20s to early 30s HGH production begins to decline thus affecting the bodies’ abilities to function in these areas. 

By the time we reach the age of 30, our HGH levels are only about 20 percent of their peak levels during childhood, and after the age of 30, they continue to decline at about 12 to 15 percent per decade and often much more. So at the time when our bodies need HGH for repair, our own production of HGH is at its lowest.

Adult HGH deficiency Symptoms

  • Greater sensitivity to heat and cold
  • Less muscle (lean body mass) Less strength, stamina and
  • Ability to exercise without taking a rest
  • Reduced bone density and a tendency to have more bone fractures as they get older
  • A higher level of body fat, especially around the waist
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Decreased sexual function and interest
  • Fatigue
  • Feelings of being isolated from other people

MEET ELIZABETH BECKNER AND DAISHA ESCAMILLA

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
