As we age the sex hormones that maintain tissue health begin to fall out of balance. Women experience dramatic hormonal changes as a result of menopause at around 50 years of age, while men experience a decline in hormones beginning at age 30 that leads to andropause. The decline in reproductive hormones is caused by the loss of ovarian and testicular cells and their function (‘hypogonadism’). This is not merely a symptom, but the reason we ‘age’ and develop age-related diseases.
