Nowadays in our Western world our medicine is all about sick care. Most doctors do not give any preventive advice. They just wait till people get sick, come in, and they get prescribed pharmaceutical drugs to treat the disease.
In preventive and lifestyle medicine we believe we need a paradigm shift from disease management to a true healthcare and wellness type approach.
Preventive medicine is all about hormone optimization.

Probably you are already familiar with the next abbreviations:
TRT: Testosterone Replacement Therapy
HRT: Hormone Replacement Therapy
and TOT: Testosterone Optimization Therapy

But since these abbreviations all hint towards the replacement or optimization of male and/or female sex hormones (Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone), I prefer the abbreviation HOT, which stands for Hormone Optimization Therapy.

And here is the essence of Hormone Optimization Therapy: the difference between normal and optimal hormonal levels.
Let me explain.

Almost no one on the forums concerning Testosterone Replacement Therapy meet the criteria for TRT because they have so called “normal levels”.
And then again, you hear a lot of people state: I don’t need to supplement with Pregnenolone or DHEA, since my levels are in the “normal range”.

When we’re talking about Hormone Optimization, we’re talking about these 6:
Testosterone, Thyroid, DHEA, pregnenolone, melatonin, and vit D3.

Each individual hormone has its own individual protective and beneficial properties.
Now, no different than testosterone, do you want to just be in the normal or low normal range, or do you want to be in the optimal range?
Melatonin has great anti-cancer properties. Do you want a little cancer prevention or a lot? If you want a little, well don’t ..
