Hormones
Why It Matters
Hormonal balance is a crucial factor in longevity—imbalances in testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, or insulin accelerate aging and increase disease risk.
Testosterone (Men) & Estrogen (Women): Impacts muscle mass, metabolism, and energy.
Cortisol: Chronically high levels increase inflammation and shorten lifespan.
Growth Hormone & IGF-1: Plays a role in cell repair and longevity.
