    Starting point glandsMost messenger substances are produced in glands,primarily in the pituitary gland and the hypothalamusin the brain, in the thyroid gland and parathyroid gland,in the pancreas, the adrenal glands, the ovaries and thetesticles. Other hormones are produced directly in thetissue at the place o their action. A complicated eedback system consisting o external and internal timers sub-

    jects the intensity o these in ormation transmitters to adistinct 24-hour rhythm. This inner clock is an important control actor or the release o hormones. The moreintelligently we bear in mind this chronobiological actorthe greater the bene t or our bodies.

    Controlled by messenger substancesMessenger substances control us day andnight. Contrary to what has been assumedor a long time it is not electrical impulsesbut chemical molecules that transmit themost important pieces o in ormation in thehuman body. The name o these molecules:hormones. Medical science already knowsas many as 156 such active endogenousregulators and coordinators o the bodysmetabolism. I necessary, they are activa-ted in certain cells. They are transportedto their place o action in the blood, in thelymphs and in intercellular fuid. They control the activity o the organs without directly participating in the metabolicprocesses. In order to prevent the organismrom being inundated with them they aredeactivated a ter a relatively short time.

    Following the rhythmof the inner clockA ew interesting examples: between seven and nineoclock in the morning the messenger substances not only the sexual ones are at their peak. Between 3 and4 p.m. a high phase o our long-term memory makes usmost capable o learning. By around 11 p.m. the level o the sleeping hormone melatonin has increased t en oldand switches the organs to regeneration this is anextremely important impulse which is lost in many elderpeople. During healthy sleep, the bodys temperature isreduced upon the command o the messenger substan-ces. When we wake up the blood pressure rises.

    A ew decades ago, chronobiologists, the representativeso this new science, were still derided. Today, relevant ormulas or providing the body with es sential substan-ces are available thanks to their ndings. These ormulastake into consideration the relationship between themetabolic processes and the time o the day.

    Best form a short-time blessingUn ortunately our hormones are not at our disposal in the desired intensity or our entirelives. As rom the age o 30 already upon ul llment o the procreation mandate withinthe meaning o evolution the production o important messenger substances is curbedmore or less drastically.

    Orchestra of hormonesEvery emotion, every bout of energy, every growth com-mand, every outbreak of anger, every repair order, every feeling of lust, every blush and, most of all, any sexualstirring, is the echo of the dosage of hormones.

    But also the renewal o our bones, the blood pressure,the bodys water balance, the blood sugar level or the

    intensity o sleep during the night result rom the releaseo certain hormones.

    In this concert o 156 or more messenger substances,some players are o paramount importance. Individually or as a group these are: the sexual hormones estrogen,progesterone und testosterone, the growth hormone, abasic hormone called DHEA, the brain-per ormance-en-hancing substance pregnenolone, and melatonin.

    Other attractive elements o this image are the typically emale body orms resulting rom the at reserves thebody has produced in order to make provision or asubsequent pregnancy. All too soon this shiny imagebegins to ade. First, the woman experiences a signi cant decline o the maternity or eel-good hormone progeste-rone that is produced in the ovaries. Then the productiono the estrogens plummets. Few people are amiliar withthe act that the lack o these substances also produces ahuge gap outside the emale sexual organs.

    First upwards, now downwardsThe most important hormones that participate in building the human body are re erred as anabolic according tothe Greek syllable or upwards. Apart rom the sexualhormones, these are the growth hormone and DHEA.The levels o all these build-up hormones in the blood

    Counteracting hormonede ciency, anti-agingThe aging process starts at birth and isirrevocable. Science-based pro essionalanti-aging medicine is concerned with thedecline in the hormone levels that mostly comes gradually but o ten has graveconsequences.

    Millions of people are hardly awareof the interdependence between suchde ciency and low immunity, heart risks,arthritis or bone loss.

    Because only one hormonal crash is soobvious that everybody knows about it:the crash experienced by a woman in hermenopause.

    Hormones drop,risks riseThe messenger substances rom thegroup o the estrogens, and progesterone,are regarded as the emale hormones.This categorization is somewhat mislea-ding. Because these hormones regulatethe bone metabolism, vascular health,and mood also in the male body. Howe-

    ver, their main role is that o the work bees o the emale sexual system. Allphysical and mental aspects imaginableare directly or indirectly geared towardsconception. Smooth skin, st rong hair,sensual smell, easy-going manner, encou-raging looks all the weapons in a wo-mans arsenal o seduction can probably be traced back to these hormones.

    Basic substance for 18complete hormonesThe endogenous substance with the desi-gnation dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)is produced in the adrenal cortex. It wasonly at the end o the 20th century that thissubstance was recognized as the youthhormone. 18 di erent messenger substan-ces, including the so-called emale messengersubstances (estrogens) and male messengersubstances (androgens), develop rom DHEA inthe emale and male body, respectively.

    Our organism reduces the production of DHEA to just one tenth until the age of 75.

    The levels o all messenger substances related with that hormone take aplunge. The e ects are pro ound. Still, there is only one instance o a hormo-nal de cit that the general public is really aware o : the emale menopause.

    and in the tissue drop signi cantly overthe years. With each individual declining messenger substance irrespective o whether the decline is slow or quick the body loses an extremely important health actor. The e ects are dramatic:loss o vitality and increased pronenessto illness.

    Beware of thedisposition to divorce!A lack o the growth hormone a ects not only the

    renewal o bones, atty tissue or muscles. HGH ( orhuman growth hormone, the scienti c name o thismessenger substance) is also an important stabilizing actor or our psyche. A de ciency in this hormone can beone o the reasons or the high disposition to divorce that can be observed during emale and male menopause.

    A natural transition period The term or the collapse o the emale reproductionsystem is ormed rom the Greek words meno (month)and pausis (stop).

    Usually the regular periods will not stop from one day to the next. Most women experience a transition.

    One or several months without menstruation taking turns with months with a menses. The periods vary inlength and intensity. Under such changing conditions,

    when can a woman be sure that the time o her periodsis over? Practically when a year has passed since herlast spontaneous menstruation. This is exactly what menopause means. It is a point in time that can only bedetermined retroactively.

    De nition of menopauseFrom puberty until the occurrence o menopause theollowing happens in a womans body: the pituitary gland releases stimulants (FSH, LH) or the reproductiveglands into the blood. The ovaries respond by producing sexual hormones. The increase o their level in the bloodis a signal to the brain that its action has been succes-s ul. This eedback stabilizes the hormonal si tuation.In the course o the years the emale body ceases toproduce enough sexual hormones or this success report.The control center o the brain does not receive a stop si-gnal as a consequence, stimulation o the reproductiveglands is not terminated but even increased. The pituita-ry gland releases even more stimulants. The complicatedsystem o impulse and response is materially disturbed.This hormone de ciency has dramatic consequences. Theabrupt derailment, usually due to age, rein orces almost all other aging processes. Skin, vessels, bones, muscles,brain are especially a ected.

    Turning point betweenage 44 and 52The average age or the occurrence o menopause in the

    Western world is 51 years. The normal range extendsmostly rom age 44 to 52.

    The most distinctive eature o this turning point is thechange in the unction o the ovaries. The woman beco-

    mes in ertile.

    Almost half a lifeIn this day and age, a woman usually lives long enoughto be postmenopausal or almost hal o her li e. There-ore, the start into her third ate is o extremely great social and psychological importance. The organismresponds in very di erent ways to the rapidly changing hormone levels. The number o possible e ects is subs-

    Women: pre, peri or post?Some women do not recognize the transition to meno-pause as long as they have an irregular cycle. Threephases blend into each other:

    premenopause , i.e. the phase be ore,

    perimenopause ( rom the Greek term or around) isde ned by a stage o irregular menstruation that may stretch over several years and ends upon the occurrenceo menopause, and

    postmenopause , which starts a ter the last period.

    Women are recommended to regard themselves as being in perimenopause until the established diagnosis o postmenopause. Perimenopause may be characterizedby as ew as two consecutively missed periods or by upto 260 days without menstruation.

    tantial. They di er hugely rom woman to woman. And even identical e ects occur with greatly varying intensity.

    The speci c effects of low estrogen levelsremain even after the so-called changeof life is over.

    These include dryness o the skin and thedegeneration o some structures re erred

    to as urogenital atrophy. Tissues in thegenital area shrink and loose elasticity and moistness. Itching, skin hemorrhage,urinary disorders (caused by the instabi-lity o the vasomotor nerves), as well asan increased inclination to infammationand in ection are not uncommon.

    How the body experiences menopauseEarly consequences are known to includehot fashes, outbreak o sweat, sleepdisorders, changes in blood pressure,unrest, agitation and depressive moods.

    In the following months and years it

    is inevitable that the degeneration of organs will cause symptoms to becomeimminent: bladder weakness, shrinkingof the sexual organs and the skin willbe followed by arthrosis, osteoporosis,arteriosclerosis.

    Men:inching towards a halt Using the Greek word ragment or man,the years o the transition are designatedas andropause (i. e. menstop) The termandropause is not recognized and used by all members o the medical pro ession.

    The dramatic decline in testosteroneand other hormones is often greatly accelerated by the persons life style for example by overweight.

    A ected men should not try to escapetheir personal responsibility on the basiso a generalizing designation. Scientistspre er the term PADAM, ormed rom the

    words Partial Androgen De cit in theAging Male.

    Men beforeandropauseThere is no longer any doubt: As aging progresses similarly in men and womenalike, men also become subject to a kindo hormonal desynchronization over time.

    While women are faced with a rela-

    tively quick loss, messenger substancesdecrease rather gradually in men.

    The male sexual hormones take theirleave more slowly. But also thesehormonal changes are de ned as amaterial cause o a dramatic accelerationo aging.

    The hormone science of agingThe male body needs moreTestosterone is among the most important control subs-tances in the human organism. In order or all unctionsto work at their best, the male body requires much moretestosterone than the emale.

    This androgenic hormone stabilizes the muscles,strengthens the bones, regulates the fat metabolismand activates regeneration after an injury or illness.It lends wings to the psyche and gives a person adven-turousness, courage and a zest for action.

    In this respect, the aging process brings a special com-plication along. Testosterone moves in the blood bothreely and in a orm bound to proteins. Only the reeorm is biologically active. But over the years the binding protein increases and blocks more and more o thesehormone molecules and it is precisely those moleculesthat matter.

    The wish to delay aging is thousands o years old. Peoples ever-increasing li eexpectancy as well as new knowledge andtheories concerning the aging process,however, have massively ostered thisinterest.

    In this respect, one o the most interesting questions is: which changes in the organsare caused by the low hormone levels that characterize the second hal o li e?

    By merely looking at the statistics o some physical and mental signs o aging a convincing answer cannot be ound:

    Blood circulation is reduced by 20 percent in the brain and by 50 percent in the

    kidneys. The blood transports only up toa maximum o 60 percent o the ormeroxygen quantity. The mineral content o the bones in the emale body drops to 70percent. When resting, our basal metabo-lism consumes 16 percent ewer calories overweight is imminent.

    We are attracted by the prospect of not only living longer but also aging healthily

    substances are at work day and night tocontrol important li e processes, such asheat regulation, water balance, respira-tion, hunger, sleep or sexual unctions. Inthe second hal o li e, the organism ndsit increasingly di cult to per orm some o these actions.

    We know one common risk factor for theillnesses which are going to determine

    the fate of people in the 21st

    century:aging.

    This applies in particular to arteriosclero-sis, osteoporosis, Alzheimers disease andcancer. As a logical consequence, preven-tive medicine must concern itsel with thehormone science o aging.

    Theories of agingIt is not entirely clear why an organism ages at all.Several theories compete or recognition:

    Certain genes control the aging process

    Aging is due to oxidative stress having got out o control (reactive oxygen radicals)

    Aging is a consequence o loss o unction due toprotein molecules sti ened by blood sugar

    Aging is due to chronic infammation processes below pain level (silent infammation).

    The most controversial theory is the neuroendocrinetheory: we age because our hormone levels drop.

    But one thing cannot be denied: all illness symptomsthat are typical o old age can be o set or slowed downby adequate hormone substitution. For messenger

    are present and that the speci c hormone de ciency hasbeen proven in a chemical laboratory. Then howeverproviding individual hormone substitution to elder adultsdoes make sense.

    Hormone status test De ning a mans or a womans hormone status by per-orming a simple blood test can reveal in ormation on

    the biological age and provide know-how or targetedanti-aging measures. In this respect, the in ormation tobe provided by the specialist doctor must meet particu-larly high standards. It is absolutely necessary to check e cacy at regular intervals.

    This is the responsible way to administer anti-aging medicine: as much as necessary, as little as possible. I applied properly, hormones are not dangerous. The ove-rall picture must be right it makes little sense to com-pensate a de ciency in only one messenger substance.

    Substitution of all decreasingmessenger substancesOne o the most important approaches o this science isextended hormonal substitution, the replacement o allmessenger substances that decrease in the second hal o li e.

    The longest and widest experience has been gained

    with hormone replacement therapy or women during and a ter menopause. Some results o HRT studies haveshattered the belie in a ountain o youth. It is not su cient to just compensate a de ciency state or two.

    In the meantime, individualization and dosage reduc-tion have become the principles o responsible, broaderhormone substitution. Female postmenopause and maleandropause are no longer generally classi ed as anillness caused by a hormone de ciency. Such categori-zation requires that corresponding clinical symptoms

    Regulation and compensationAll this results in the recommendation to administer hor-mones early in order to maintain health and to prevent certain consequences o aging.

    In case o substitution, which is a very promising variant o classic hormone replacement therapy, the hormoneadministered to the body only compensates a de ciency that really has been proved. Today it is possible to deter-mine minute quantities o hormones in the blood, saliva,urine and other sources.

    Your trusted doctor with specialist training will care- fully evaluate your individual hormone status and takeinto consideration any symptoms and risks.

    Protection against free radicalsOnly a short while ago, a ate ul interaction betweenhormone de ciency and a reduced de ense against reeradicals was discovered. This oxidative stress in theorganism seems to be a dangerous accelerator o aging.Probably hot fashes and other symptoms are the signso increased aggressive oxidation in the tissue.

    Phyto substances:supplementation and alternativeMore and more in ormed people counteract in a natural

    way the impairments caused by the drop in hormones,as well as the changes in the bodys appearance. Thiscan be done success ully by means o certain plant-basedsubstances, called phyto substances. Astonishingly,consuming such substances causes mild e ects in thebody, similar to those o hormones. Phyto substances

    either supplement hormone substitution, or example by having an infuence on the bodys own production, orthey alleviate the symptoms o the change o li e without the administration o hormones. This applies to womenand men alike.

    Plant-based substances ll the gapSubstances contained in a number o medicinal plants willproduce a particularly positive e ect i they are combined

    with other nutrients and building constituents. Scienceocuses primarily on phytoestrogens ( rom the Greek wordor plant). The advantage o these plant-based substan-ces is that they consist o naturally ormed, and thuscomplete, ensembles o active ingredients. In addition tobeing highly e cient, they are thus also particularly welltolerated. Furthermore, some o them even enhance theprotection against hormone-dependant illnesses.

    Phyto substances for the female organsEnsembles o substances containing the ollowing predo-minantly plant-based substances are particularly suitableor treating symptoms o menopause in women in a natu-ral way and or generally regulating the hormone levels:

    Soybeans

    The primary e ect is based on the many isofavones it contains, in particular, genistein, daidzein and glycitein.Soy also contains saponines, substances which prima-rily strengthen the immune system. Together with thephytosterols, another important group o secondary plant substances, the saponines also bind cholesterol and thusultimately lower cholesterol levels.

    OrthosiphonDried leaves o Orthosiphon aristatus, also called cats

    whiskers, contain a complex mixture o essential oils,

    plant acids, isofavones, saponines and potassium salts.The substance has a diuretic, spasmolytic and microbici-dal e ect.

    Wild YamThis substance, which lowers the blood sugar and trigly-ceride levels, contains saponines such as diosgenin anddioscoretin.

    Dong Quai

    This medicinal plant, which is also called Chinese ange-lica, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine orthousands o years, not only to alleviate pain ul mens-truation but also against hypertension and disturbedcirculation.

    LignansStructurally, this group o substances consisting o anti-oxidants, polyphenols and isofavones is very similar tothe sexual hormones. The act that they dock to certainreceptors o our cells enables lignans not only to balance

    40 41

    the decrease in production within thebody but also to reduce a hormonal pro-duction that is too high. In this way they have e ect on the development o hormo-ne-dependant tumors (breast, intestine).

    Red clover In addition to isofavones, this plant alsocontains ormononetin and biochaninA. These two substances are precursors

    o genistein and daidzein, but they alsoappear to have potential o their own andthus contribute to the e ects o red clover.The mildly estrogenic e ect exerted by allthe isofavones alleviates the symptomso menopause and also seems to con erprotection against osteoporosis.

    ValerianThe well-known extract rom the vale-riana plant is one o the oldest natural

    remedies and has been used to treat nervousness and sleeping disorders sinceancient times. Taken regularly, valerianhas an anxiety-reducing and calming e ect.

    Black cohoshIn addition to isofavones and many urther active substances this medicinalplant also contains triterpene glycosides,

    which are success ully applied in case o menopausal complaints.

    MagnesiumThis is one o the most important mi-nerals and is used to alleviate musclecramps, among other things. Further-more, magnesium is essential or healthy bone structure.

    Phyto substances for the male organismEnsembles o substances containing the ollowing predo-minantly plant-based substances are particularly suitableor treating symptoms o andropause in a natural way and or generally regulating the hormone levels in themale body:

    Taurine and L-arginine Whereas taurine is an aminosul onic acid, L-arginine is anamino acid. Both o these substances are known to havea positive e ect on the cardiovascular system. L-arginineis converted to nitrogen monoxide, a substance with a

    vasodilating e ect. Taurine participates in the ormation o bile acids and thus boosts the bodys energy balance.

    Saw palmettoExtract o saw palmetto contains valuable oils, polysac-charides, phytosterines, favonoids and carotinoids. The
