Reading Time: 3 minutes LONDON (Reuters) -- Taking too much Tylenol during pregnancy could reduce testosterone levels in male babies, according to a new study. This could lead to possible reproductive problems later in life, researchers said. The University of Edinburgh study tested the effect of paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol) on testosterone production in mice that carried grafts of human testicular tissue. These grafts have been shown to mimic how the developing testes grow and function during pregnancy. Scientists gave the mice a typical daily dose of paracetamol over a period of either 24 hours or seven days....

Reading Time: 7 minutes The Importance of Hormonal Balance for Menopause More than one researcher has described the human body’s hormonal balance as “the dance of life” or, more specifically, “the dance of the hormones.” And this is indeed an apt analogy. Your endocrine system is a delicate balance that is interrelated. When one hormone increases or decreases, it often has a spillover effect on one or more other hormones. And This is Especially True Concerning Menopause The dictionary definition of menopause is “the time of cessation of a woman’s reproductive ability.” Female ovaries slow down and eventually cease the production of hormones once...

Reading Time: 2 minutes It's a no-brainer that regular exercise is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of how we exercise are a different matter. Different routines emphasize certain aspects of wellness. For those interested in maximizing longevity, High-Intensity Interval Training shows immense promise, not only for physical health but for neurological health. Interval Training and Neuroplasticity Recent research indicates that High-Intensity Interval Training has a substantial impact on neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to create new neurological connections. This helps both the body and mind stay fit and adaptive. The ideal exercise regimen will combine different forms of exercise, but...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been proven in countless research studies to relieve the symptoms of hot flashes and mood swings in menopausal women. But a new study concludes that women who begin HRT during menopause might get some additional protection against heart disease without seeing increases in other serious risks. The study, which was published in the journal BMJ, investigated a theory called the timing hypothesis. In older women, long past menopause, hormone replacement therapy using both estrogen and progesterone was linked to elevated risk for heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, dementia, and breast cancer. What was uncertain is whether...

Reading Time: 2 minutes In a small study of Finnish women who had recently entered menopause, those who stuck to an aerobic exercise program for six months were less likely to report night sweats, mood swings, and irritability than women who didn't exercise. The study's authors say their results suggest exercise could serve as a complement to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for quelling bothersome menopause symptoms. "I would recommend physical activity. I think that among all the options out there that it's probably the best thing for health and also symptoms of aging," said Steriani Elavsky, a professor at Penn State University, who was...

Reading Time: 4 minutes Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Replacement Therapy can work wonders on restoring out-of-shape bodies and maintaining good health. But never forget that there is a "Golden Rule" of healthy living and longevity: what you don't do is more important than what you do. What this means is simple. We provide world-class hormone replacement the is efficient, safe, and cost-friendly. However, the best hormone replacement in the world cannot undo the debilitating effects of smoking. Here are the results of a recent study that drives this point home. If you smoke, the findings of this new study will make you at least...

Reading Time: 5 minutes You're a woman. And, like many women, you may believe that testosterone is a male hormone only...but you'd be wrong.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Regular exercise is universally celebrated as a crucial part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the plotted course of our exercise regimen and its specific focuses can greatly affect different aspects of our wellness. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is emerging as a promising routine, credited not only for promoting physical health, but also for supporting neurological health, pinpointing a spectrum of longevity offerings. High-Intensity Interval Training Enhances Neuroplasticity Research has unveiled the profound impact that High-Intensity Interval Training potentially carries on neuroplasticity, the brain's adaptive capacity to cultivate new neurological connections. This process helps fortify both the body and mind....

Reading Time: 2 minutes The use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been long recognized by countless research studies for its capability to alleviate menopause-related symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. However, a recent study proposes that women who commence HRT during menopause might obtain additional protection against heart disease, without experiencing an elevation in other severe risks. The Timing Hypothesis: The Study's Premise Published in the reputed medical journal BMJ, this study explored a concept referred to as the 'timing hypothesis'. It is understood that in women who have experienced menopause for a prolonged period, HRT, utilizing both estrogen and progesterone,...

Reading Time: 3 minutes Understanding the body's hormonal balance is compared to understanding the dance of life, as every hormone in the human body maintains a complex interrelationship with one another. Such a hormonal interplay significantly comes into sharper focus during menopause - a phase marking the cessation of a woman's reproductive ability. This commonly occurs between the age range of 35 to 55. Menopause is a unique condition, as women may suffer from its symptoms for up to a decade during perimenopause before being diagnosed with full menopause. While widely believed that lower levels of estrogen and progesterone are key contributors to menopause...

Reading Time: 4 minutes One of the natural steroids that our bodies produce is dehydroepiandrosterone or DHEA for short! Dehydroepiandrosterone is also sold as a supplement to be used for several different health reasons. Actually, DHEA is a steroidal hormone that is essential for our health. This is because DHEA is a precursor hormone for both testosterone AND estrogen. That’s right, the male and female hormones are both derived from the same molecule. Pretty neat, right? What is DHEA? As stated above, DHEA is a precursor hormone, meaning that DHEA is converted by our bodies into other hormones, specifically testosterone and estrogen. DHEA is...

Reading Time: 3 minutes Reproductive health is an essential avenue of scientific research. Scientists have been following a troubling trend over the last thirty years—sperm counts have been getting progressively lower among younger men. There are many factors that contribute to declining sperm production—an increase in obesity is one of the more significant culprits. Environmental influences also play a major role. Researchers have been paying increasing attention to the role of chemicals which disrupt hormone production and signaling in recent years—these chemicals are known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (or EDCs). Studies Show Sperm Counts Have Dropped Precipitously Past research makes it clear that there...

Reading Time: 10 minutes The Effects of Hypogonadism on Men Learn more about the causes and cures of this ever-increasing problem Your physician enters the room with a somber demeanor and announces “Your blood tests are back, and it's confirmed: you have hypogonadism.” The response of many men to this somewhat confusing pronouncement is often: “what's that?” The medical, professional, clinical definition of hypogonadism is the reduction or absence of hormone secretion or other physiological activity of the gonads (testes). The Endocrine Society practice guideline has a similar definition: Hypogonadism in men is a clinical syndrome that results from failure of the testis to...

Reading Time: 2 minutes Upon discovering that they are about to become fathers, men often experience a drop in two hormones: testosterone and estradiol. This happens even before their babies are born, according to a new University of Michigan study. Past research has demonstrated that men's hormones change after they become fathers, and there is some evidence that this is a function of a decline after the child's birth. What is unique about the new U-M study is this: it is the first research to show that the decline may begin even earlier, during the transition to fatherhood, said Robin Edelstein, the study's lead...
