Who we are?
We are a clinic headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens with affiliated physician extenders across the United States. We replace hormones to levels that existed in your body at age 25 - 30. Since declining hormones cause us to age, it is logical that replacing those hormones would positively affect the aging clock, creating a more useful physiology. That is what happens. We have a network of board certified physicians and nurse practitioners across the U.S., that will come to your home or place of business and perform a physical exam and blood draw. Based on your results, one of in-house physicians will implement a hormone replacement protocol specifically for you.
How are the hormones replaced?
Testosterone is replaced using eigther an injection or a topical cream formulated to your needs that is applied to the surface of the skin in the morning and evening. Growth hormone is taken by daily injection. We show you how to do it. It is easy and painless.
Does it work?
Yes! This is not a fanciful search for the fountain of youth. It is medical science at it best. It is board certified doctors using sophisticated lab tests and treatment protocols to produce life-altering results.
What are the costs?
There is no way to predetermine the cost as each therapy is structured around a patients paricular needs. This is based on the results of the blood work and the goals of that patient. What we can say is the PBLE has the lowest prices of any competing clinic. More importantly PBLE has a reputation of honesty and integretiy and uses only board certified Doctors that will help each patient achieve his or hers goals.
Do I have to come to the Palm Beach Life Extension center in Florida? Although we would like you to come to our state of the art facility, we do not require you to come. We do our testing through Porta medic and LabCorp, which has blood-drawing stations conveniently, located across the U.S. As stated above, we also have physician affiliates conveniently located in most parts of the country.
How much hormone will I take?
The doctor will prescribe whatever amount it takes to get your hormone levels to a point that you are achieving optimal results. That will probably be the upper end of the normal and safe range as shown in lab tests.
What results can I expect?
Everyone is different but generally you can expect:
- Week 1-2: Increase in mental sharpness, enthusiasm for life and an elimination of a mild to moderate depression that men acquire as testosterone, thyroid and or growth hormone declines.
- Week 2-3: More energy, better results from exercise and weight control efforts, and you will want to be more active - maybe even feel like exercising.
- Week 3-4: Increased sex drive, spontaneous morning erections
Is it safe?
There are numerous studies that have come out over the past 12 months that have attested to the safety of natural hormone replacement for men. We use only bio-identical hormones in our therapy. i.e. hormones equal in molecular structure to what the body produces natural
Are there side effects?
If replacement is done properly there are no negative side effects.
When should I think about replacing hormones?
In the typical man, hormones start to decline in the mid to late twenties. By age 35 declines are sufficient that symptoms maybe evident. The best time to start replacing hormones is between age 35 and 40. However it is never too late. We have men in their 80's that have found a new life.
Do I have to replace all hormones i.e. testosterone, growth hormone?
Hormones may be replaced separately or in any combination. Better results are obtained from taking a combination of hormones. We like to say there is a 1+1=3 relationship. We understand the cost limitation on growth hormone. The Potential Benefits far out-weigh the cost.
How long must I commit to hormone replacement?
The commitment should last as long as you want the results.
Will hormone replacement cause my natural hormone production to decline?
Cycling of hormones is designed to minimize the possibility of a decline in your natural hormone production. Cycling is taking time off from hormone replacement. When outside hormones are introduced into the body, the gland producing that hormone senses that the body has an adequate supply of the hormone and does not need to work as hard and may become "lazy". Cycling is mandatory for human growth hormone and for men under 45 on testosterone.
Will hormone therapy help sexual dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction can have many causes; however replacing hormones is the best place to start treatment. We suggest raising your testosterone to a healthy level along with growth hormone, (if cost is not a prohibitive factor), to boost your sex drive. There are also non-prescription products such as Male Performance Plus that increase the amount of nitric oxide in the blood to aid sexual mechanics. If there is still need for assistance, consider something like Viagra. This process has been found to correct over 90% of problems of sexual function. We strongly recommend not using a product such as Viagra without first taking care of testosterone levels.
Does growth hormone have to be injected?
It is the only medically proven way Growth Hormone can enter the body and be absorbed correctly.
What about oral HGH or HGH stimulants that I see advertised on the web?
Advertisements that claim they have real HGH in a spray or pill may in fact contain small amounts of HGH. However, it has been medically proven that HGH cannot be absorbed through the membranes of the mouth, skin or digestive system. Stimulants have some effect but very limited. The claims of results far out-weigh the actual results.
