Women are not the only ones whose hormones are thrown out of whack with advancing age. Men also experience a reduction in natural hormone production and find that many aspects of their lives are affected. Two key hormones that dwindle in men over time are testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH).

Low testosterone and HGH can cause the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Reduced muscle strength or inability to build muscle
  • Memory problems
  • Low sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Hair thinning or balding

Balancing out hormones has truly remarkable effects. It can improve your mood, behavior, sexual health, appearance, and more. With hormone therapy, you can look and feel better than you have in years.

With her integrative approach to healthcare, Dr. Ahn also understands how diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and other lifestyle factors can play a role in balancing out hormones. Once she has a comprehensive understanding of your current health and your goals, she can recommend an integrated treatment plan that helps you look and feel more energetic and virile than ever.

Testosterone

Testosterone therapy can be administered in several different ways, including via transdermal patches, gels, slow-release pellets, or injectables. Oral testosterone has demonstrated risks of liver problems and is not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Human growth hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate cell regeneration, growth, and maintenance. It helps to regulate muscle and bone growth as well as the metabolism of sugar and fat.

HGH is delivered via injection under the skin. Although some websites sell HGH in a pill form, patients should avoid taking HGH orally as it is ineffective.

Dr. Ahn and her staff are amazing! I haven’t been feeling like myself over the past few years, and wasn’t getting answers from other doctor visits. I knew it was time to invest in my health, so I did my research and found Ahn Point Wellness. Dr. Ahn’s approach to wellness is exactly what I wanted. She does a thorough and comprehensive series of tests in order to get a complete overview of your health. At the follow-up appointment, she spends time explaining the test results and walks you through options and recommendations that address your personal needs. It’s been a month since my follow-up, and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. I highly recommend Ahn Point Wellness!

Dr. Ahn is an unmatched, excellent gastroenterologist; she has a vast clinical experience and depth of knowledge, which fortifies her clinical ability. I am a retired physician and, as such, highly endorse her ability in gastrointestinal disorders, as I found when she treated me. I am pleased to support her superb medical abilities.

I met with Dr. Ahn virtually in October of 2020 to discuss my experience with menopause and how to best protect my body in the future. I had thought about using hormone therapy, but wasn’t quite sure it was for me. Dr. Ahn explained the many benefits of HRT not only to alleviate menopausal symptoms, but to preserve my brain, organs, and bones as I continue to age. She did extensive blood work to determine my hormone levels, micronutrients, and an in-depth review of my cholesterol. She then prescribed a combination of HRT and supplements to boost my health and well-being, while also taking into consideration my lifestyle and not wanting to wake up and take 20 pills every day! Dr. Ahn practices a unique approach to women’s health whereby she spends a lot of time understanding her patients, and then digs into the data to formulate a customized wellness routine that optimizes their health. Her vast knowledge of women’s health and her attention to patient needs are unmatched!

I found Dr. Ahn when I was looking at available options for menopausal relief. First and foremost, she is kind, thoughtful, and willing to spend the time to find the right solution for you. A huge bonus is that she is a gastroenterologist, especially when trying to find your best path to wellness. Bottom line: she is my favorite doctor and the one I go to first with any questions.

I thought fatigue was just something that I would have to deal with, and I accepted it as “what happens when you get older.” I’m 47 and had lost my libido, and that was bothering me because I have a very loving husband. After seeing Dr. Ahn and starting the hormone replacement prescriptions and supplements, my sleep improved tremendously, and so did my energy level. And let’s just say my husband has also noticed other changes, and we are both much happier!

I waited and looked a long time to find a doctor like Dr. Ahn. While I knew I wanted someone to help me navigate the pitfalls of menopause, I was thrilled to find a female physician who had a passionate interest and firsthand understanding of this particular and taxing time in a woman’s life.

Dr. Ahn is passionate, energetic, and thoughtful about the management of my menopause and all of its related, not-so-fun side effects. She is available regularly and has been very responsive to all my questions. I have also become more informed about how I can help manage the whole aging process.
I am thrilled to have found her and have been completely happy to share her with many friends who currently find themselves at the start of this chapter in their lives. Wish I could have found her earlier.

I highly recommend working with Dr. Lynne Ahn. It is a transformative experience that allows you to really live your life to the fullest. Her thorough testing ensures you are taking the right supplements but she is careful not to overwhelm you. She addresses lifestyle, diet, exercise again with realistic expectations. I am so happy I came to see her and feel as though I am set up for success as I age.
