Why Regenerative Medicine & HRT?
“In my four years of medical school, we covered almost every disease that can affect the human body but only a small amount of time and education was spent learning how to prevent diseases from occurring in the first place; even less time, if any, is spent on natural or alternative therapies. Hormones and peptides are mentioned in passing, but certainly not emphasized as to their importance in preventative medicine. I think it’s vital physicians practicing modern medicine understand the role hormone balancing and optimization plays in expanding not only a patient’s life span but also their healthspan.“- Dr Veyna
