Regenerative medicine stems from the word regeneration. Regeneration and rejuvenation of our body’s anatomy and physiology is something that has been ignored by traditional methods of medicine.

Up to this point, medical doctors have been treating patients’ ailments and problems by simply reacting to specific symptoms and having knee-jerk reactions to mask the given problem or symptom that is presented by the patient. This method of practicing medicine works well with some acute process medical problems.

However, when it comes to chronic issues or vague symptoms a physician has to be more comprehensive in the workup of such patients. A “chronic issue” is a problem that has been affecting the patient for a period of more than six months.

The field of regenerative medicine understands that many chronic issues, occur because of the bodies WEAR and TEAR and dys-balancing of the endogenous physiology and hormonal balancing that happens with regular environmental and aging effects that most of us are oblivious about.

What hormones are involved in this process?

There are many hormones that the body’s functions and efficiency and as these hormones decline or go out of balance with age or other environmental factors, an individual starts noticing a decline in how they feel and a decline in their functionality of their daily life. such hormones are usually ignored by most physicians. Yet, there are a big portion of population that have the condition called Hypogonadism (insufficient testosterone production unrelated to age).
