Thyroid under activity, hypothyroidism, is also rampant in our society. There are scores of thyroid-blocking toxins in our environment, even having children can cause low thyroid activity.

The sex hormones all diminish as we age. Testosterone for men is vital not only for sex drive and muscles but also for bones, heart, arteries, mood (grumpy old men) and is anti inflammatory. Properly replenished with skin creams, it is very safe and is carefully monitored by Dr. Gerber.

These are safe, natural hormone replacements and prevent age related diseases and improve quality of life, sex drive and appearance.
