For years, we’ve heard of celebrities, entrepreneurs, and motivational speakers using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to keep them at the top of their game. But what exactly is HRT? Could it be the key to maintaining maximum performance as we age?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment wherein hormones are replaced to mitigate the effects of aging. This treatment is often used to increase testosterone levels in men, as testosterone levels naturally decline with age. While HRT can be administered in several ways, including injections and patches, pellets are becoming the most popular method for testosterone replacement therapy.
How do testosterone pellets work for hormone replacement therapy?
Testosterone pellets are typically inserted just under the skin via a small incision. The pellets slowly release testosterone over the course of three to four months, providing a steadier stream of the hormone than other methods of administration. This method of HRT is often preferable for men who want to avoid the hassle of regular injections or worry about potential skin irritation from patches. Some men also prefer pellets because they offer more flexibility in terms of timing – you can space out your treatments as needed rather than being on a set schedule.
What Are Some Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy?
- Improved muscle mass
- Decreased body fat
- Increased energy levels
- Improved libido
- Stronger bones
- Improved skin elasticity
- Better moods
- Improved sleep quality
- Greater clarity of thought
- Reduction in anxiety and depression
- Increased sense of well-being and enhanced quality of life
- An overall increase in physical performance levels
A 2013 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that men over 65 who were treated with testosterone saw significant improvements in bone density and anemia, as well as decreased fat mass and increased muscle mass. In addition, research has shown that testosterone replacement therapy can improve mental health by reducing depression and anxiety symptoms.
Why are celebrities, entrepreneurs, and motivational speakers using hormone replacement therapy?
Our natural tendency to be drawn to stronger people likely has something to do with our underlying biology. Studies have shown that when we see someone physically stronger than us, our brain releases dopamine, which is often associated with feelings of pleasure and euphoria. This may be because, in prehistoric times, being around someone physically stronger would have meant that that person was more likely to protect us and keep us safe.
Many successful celebrities, entrepreneurs, and motivational speakers are using hormone replacement therapy because it gives them an edge over people who can’t afford the treatment. Yes, we’re attracted to their charisma and motivation, but we’re naturally drawn to people who look like “the leader of the pack.”
Is Tony Robbins on testosterone replacement therapy?
It’s unclear if Tony Robbins is on testosterone replacement therapy, but if he isn’t, he’s one of the few high-level motivational speakers who isn’t using hormone replacement therapy to improve their performance as a business leader.
Tony Robbins Human Growth Hormone
Human Growth Hormone is responsible for growth, recovery, and energy. Tony Robbins was diagnosed with a pituitary brain tumor that substantially increased his human growth hormone (HGH) levels. This was a subclinical manifestation of the disease known as acromegaly. Doctors told Robbins this was responsible for his teenage growth spurts and large hands and feet. Fortunately, the life-threatening tumor has since stabilized.
Today, Robbins is more than 10 inches taller than he was in high school. (He is 6 feet 7 inches tall).
Is HRT Worth Considering?
It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for HRT. Those with certain medical conditions – such as heart disease or cancer – should not undergo hormone replacement therapy. It’s always best to speak with a doctor before starting any new treatment program, especially one that involves hormones.
If you feel you’re losing your edge as you age, hormone replacement therapy may be worth considering. This treatment can offer several benefits – including improved muscle mass, energy levels, libido, and confidence. While not everyone is a candidate for HRT, those who are may find it just what they need to perform at their best. So if you feel like you’re starting to lose your edge as you age, it may be worth considering.
In the coming months, we’re looking to interview doctors with expertise in hormone replacement therapy and plan to publish an article recommending one or more clinics.
