I found this interesting note and wanted to pass it on. I have been trying to get these balanced.
Testosterone
Testosterone has been traditionally recognized as a male sex hormone, as it is involved in male secondary sexual characteristics. It is important for both men and women in stabilizing mood, promoting sex drive, maintaining bone density, burning fat, and building muscle. The effects of lowered levels of testosterone, which occur in aging men, are collectively referred to as andropause. Symptoms of andropause include weight gain, reduced sex drive; difficulty in maintaining erection, osteoporosis (uncommon), and depression. In women, low testosterone levels may cause vaginal dryness, depression, and lack of sex drive. Testosterone is thought to be the most potent GH stimulant of all sex hormones.
Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid function diminishes with age not only because of declining thyroid hormone production, but because of the inhibited response of cells to thyroid hormone. Hence, many people who have thyroid deficiencies are not able to detect them strictly with the use of a blood test. The thyroid regulates metabolism and body temperature and affects every cell in the body. Symptoms of thyroid deficiency include low body temperature, fatigue, mood swings, depression, unexplained weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, dry skin and hair, and brittle nails. Raising GH has a profound effect on normalizing thyroid function, as does the use of progesterone and natural estriol. Many patients require lower doses of thyroid medication, or eventually none at all, when a variety of natural hormone therapies is introduced. T4 (Synthroid) is the most commonly prescribed form of thyroid medication, but many people are not able to respond symptomatically due to other hormone imbalances' nutritional deficiencies, or autoimmune influences: As these influences are difficult to fully evaluate, Armour's glandular-based thyroid is often a better choice.
