Hormones

Hormones are vital chemicals that coordinate various functions in your body by transmitting messages through your bloodstream to organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues. These signals regulate chemical control systems in conjunction with the neural control of the nervous systems in the brain, affecting:

  • Metabolism Controls the conversion of food into energy and manages body processes.
  • Homeostasis Maintains constant internal balance, such as blood pressure and blood sugar regulation.
  • Growth and Development Regulates growth of bones, muscles, and overall body development.
  • Sexual Function Influences reproductive organs and sexual characteristics.
  • Reproduction Regulates reproductive processes and fertility.
  • Sleep-Wake Cycle Manages circadian rhythms and sleep patterns.
  • Mood Affects emotional states and mental well-being.
  • Immune Function Modulates immune responses to protect the body against pathogens.
  • Bone Density Regulates the maintenance and growth of bone tissue.
  • Blood Sugar Control Manages glucose levels to provide energy and support cellular functions.

At Longeva, our specialized team of doctors collaborates to formulate a cellular functional approach to biohack the root causes of complex illnesses by examining all control systems in the body and their interactions with each other, especially those of hormonal, nervous, and mental origin. They may investigate multiple factors causing a condition, or they may look into multiple conditions causing one symptom.

This approach considers your full history to identify the root causes of an illness, including diet, genetics, hormonal changes, prescription and over-the-counter medications, and other lifestyle components for a holistic treatment plan. It is ideal for people with chronic illnesses that aren't easily managed by conventional medical techniques.
