One of the core distinctions setting us apart from many other hormone clinics is our steadfast commitment to not employ estrogen blockers in our treatments. It is imperative to clarify that there exists no study to date that demonstrates any inherent risk associated with elevated estrogen levels in men. Conversely, there are multiple studies highlighting the adverse consequences of blocking estrogen, including the onset of erectile dysfunction, inhibition of visceral fat burning, heightened risk of heart disease, and a range of other detrimental effects.

Recall your youth, a time when your testosterone levels were at their zenith. Approximately 10% of that testosterone naturally converts into a form of estrogen known as estradiol. During this phase, you likely experienced your peak physical and mental well-being with minimal health concerns. But why?

The reason lies in the fact that your testosterone and estrogen levels were in harmonious equilibrium, representing the optimal balance for overall health. In the case of a healthy man in his mid-twenties, no medical professional would ever recommend obstructing the conversion of testosterone. So, it begs the question: why would they consider such a course of action for a man in his fifties?

Medicine has long acknowledged the health advantages of replenishing diminishing hormones. Traditional medical practice often relied on synthetic hormones as the primary choice. However, today, we have the capability to produce natural hormones that are an exact match to those naturally produced by the body. We have gained insight into the fact that synthetic hormones, which exhibit chemical differences from those naturally occurring in the body, can lead to a wide array of side effects and even increase the risk of cancer. It is inherently illogical to opt for hormone replacement with chemically distinct substances when bioidentical hormones, which our bodies are inherently accustomed to, are readily available.
