My doctor recommended bioidentical hormones. I would like to try it with infopathy first. For post menopausal women, has anyone used Infopathy then had labs show effect on hormone levels?
Most doctors recommend bio identical hormons without testing hormonal balance first.And even if they test they can’t calculate the values properly.In menopause your highly estrogen dominant.So using bio identical estrogen will make you worse.So start with Progesterone signals every night.And also add estrogen detox and adrenal support to the mix!

Hi, just wondering why metformin which is a drug used to control diabetes is included in this anti aging & age reversal IC complex? If I am not diabetic, how does it affect my sugar/glucose level?
Kieren, if your sugar level is normal, it will not affect it.
Yes, Metformin is a drug that's primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, but it has attracted interest in the context of anti-aging for several reasons (but it's anti-aging properties are currently under research):

Yes, Metformin is a drug that's primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, but it has attracted interest in the context of anti-aging for several reasons (but it's anti-aging properties are currently under research):
AMPK Activation: Metformin is known to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a cellular energy sensor that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. AMPK activation has been associated with many of the benefits of caloric restriction, a dietary regimen that has been shown to extend lifespan in various organisms.
Influence on Insulin Sensitivity: By improving insulin sensitivity, Metformin can help regulate blood sugar levels. Chronic high blood sugar is associated with many aging-related diseases and may accelerate the aging process.
Potential Anti-Cancer Effects: Some research has suggested that Metformin might have anti-cancer effects. It has been observed to reduce the incidence of cancer in some studies with diabetic patients, though the mechanism is not fully understood.
Inflammation Reduction: Chronic inflammation is a significant factor in the aging process and many age-related diseases. Some studies have indicated that Metformin might have anti-inflammatory effects, potentially contributing to its anti-aging properties.
Effects on Mitochondrial Function: Metformin may also impact mitochondrial function, the energy-producing structures within cells. Healthy mitochondrial function is vital for cellular health and function, and dysregulation of mitochondria is linked to aging.
Clinical Trials: The Targeting Aging with Metformin (TAME) trial is a significant clinical study aiming to understand the effects of Metformin on the aging process. The outcomes of this study may further clarify the role of Metformin in anti-aging.
