Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) better than Peak Male?

A customer just asked our team a wonderful question ...

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) better than Peak Male?

Scott (the customer) said he was looking into HRT but “his heart told him” Peak Male was probably a better option.

I thought you would enjoy knowing the difference, too.

Here is what I told Scott:

          Hi Scott,

          As they say "follow your heart".

          Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is western medicine's answer to natural herbal plants that tell your body to produce more testosterone or other hormones.

          The main problem is HRT actually causes your body to shut down its natural production of hormones like testosterone, while herbal remedies tell your body to increase your body's natural testosterone production.

          You don't have to be a Doctor to know there could be problems with shutting down your natural testosterone production with HRT.

          But if you do decide to use HRT, then it is even more important to also use natural herbs to reduce the damage done by the "bio-identical" testosterone replacement therapy.

          The natural herbs in Peak Male can help keep a balance and prevent your body from totally shutting down its testosterone production.

          Also keep in mind HRT will only give you additional synthetic testosterone (bio-identical testosterone is a misnomer as it is still synthetically produced in a lab), and it will do nothing for the other 50 or so hormones in your body that could be too high or too low.

          Adaptogenic herbs have been highly researched in thousands of studies and are best known for their neuro-endocrine benefits. That means adaptogens support the nervous system as well as the entire endocrine (hormonal) system.

          You can think of adaptogens as smart herbs. They have the unique ability to help your body self-regulate and naturally regain hormonal balance.

          No known drug or medicine is capable of establishing this kind of balance in the body.

          So from a health perspective, I would say either use adaptogenic herbs like those in Peak Male or use HRT in combination with adaptogenic herbs.

          But be cautious using HRT alone if you are concerned with your long term health.

          Until next week,
