Hormone Therapy Myths Debunked (Part 2): Muscle, Longevity & Misleading Warnings
Summary
- Hormones Are the Missing Link for Many: Even with good nutrition and exercise, many people struggle with aging symptoms due to declining hormones. HRT can help bridge this gap.
- Muscle Mass Is Key to Longevity: Studies show a strong correlation between lean muscle and lifespan. Hormone therapy supports muscle maintenance as we age, improving health outcomes.
- Regulatory Warnings May Mislead: Black box warnings—like those linking testosterone to blood pressure—can be based on negligible data (e.g., a 0.3 mmHg increase). These warnings may create fear and discourage effective therapy, possibly due to industry bias.
