MENOPAUSE  (FEMALE) AND ANDROPAUSE (MALE)
 
 
MENOPAUSE 
 
Peri-menopause symptoms can start as early as in your 30's. Traditionally, this can include any and all of the following symptoms, and the symptoms can vary in intensity.  Regardless of the age ( adolescent or adult, peri- or menopausal ), the presence of a disproportionate amount of Estrogen to Progesterone is a common underlying cause for many of the symptoms and illnesses unique to the female hormonal chemistry.  This is referred to as Estrogen Dominance.

Women are Complex 
Hormonal health in a female is more complex than that of a male's.  This is not to say that it cannot be improved upon, just that it takes a little more thought and caring. The standard approach to diagnosing hormonal imbalance is based upon measuring reference hormones that do not tell us the actual amounts of Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA, or Testosterone.  

The Restore Program approaches every female directly by measuring each hormone to determine if it is low, normal , or elevated. Based upon these results a custom program is built to address your lifestyle and your living goals.
 
 
 
ANDROPAUSE
Dr. Gordon heads up our Bio-Identical Hormone Physician Education Series in Canada
Andropause is a complex hormonal deficiency or insuficiency state that tends to happen slowly in all males starting at around 40 years of age. The loss of Testosterone and associated hormones affects our psychology, physiology, and physical functioning. Frequently, psychological changes are passed off as being "Mid-Life Crisis", "Depression", or a  "Mood Disorder", while the physiological changes are associated with "just getting old", and finally the physical changes as "slowing in body metabolism along with poor eating habits". All these might be right but without checking for hormone deficiency, how do you know for sure?
