Restore: Optimal Health through Bioidentical Hormones

Rate this book
The three most incredible blessings in life are not recognized while you have them but only after you’ve lost your health, youth, and freedom. All three are connected. There is great freedom in taking charge of your health. The benefits impact the quality of your entire life.

There has never been a moment like this in history. Our generation is the first to have a choice in how we age. Because of the development and perfection of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we can now choose to change our hormone chemistry back to the way it was when we were 25 years old.

In my practice, we have placed bio-identical hormone pellets subcutaneously for over 20,000 men and women over the last decade. No severe complications. Over 98 percent patient satisfaction. Scientists and researchers in study after study have cleared the way for this dream.

We use holistically developed, plant-based hormone pellets that dissolve over time, adding just the right amount of hormone restoration. The days of synthetic hormones are over.

We’re stopping the discomfort of aging. What’s the downside of preventing dementia, stopping osteoporosis, or lessening your chance of disease? “Watchful waiting” does not make any sense to me. What are you watching for? Why wait? Do you want these diseases to attack you before you put up your defenses? You could enjoy intimacy with your partner again. You might enjoy traveling healthily with a healthy partner. You might see the doctor less. Your life will have new energy.

The sooner you restore your hormones, the less likely you will lead a frail elderly conclusion to your life. We replace hormones in patients from 18 to 86 years of age, with most patients complaining of running out of gas, tired of being tired, grumpy, unmotivated, or suffering from brain fog, menopause (men and women), and other physical symptoms.

Our hormones are vital. And why would we live over half of our life without them? What could we alleviate? Visceral fat, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, all these things if we had a youthful chemistry. I love this restoration of youth. It’s the coolest thing I have ever seen. “We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body.” We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. That’s all we’re doing. The body itself is brilliant enough to do its work. We’re bio-identically restoring the fuel source.

Use your medical freedom. Watch the results.

Once your hormone levels are like a 25-year-old again, and you have the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of your years, that’s the holy grail. The holy grail is having your health and life span occupy the same real estate. For me, that’s all we can ever ask for in this life.

That’s all we’re trying to do. That’s our holy grail. That’s our journey. Restoration.

This is your personal invitation to age gracefully.

Restore is a book that takes rejuvenizing to a whole new level. Gregory Brannon shares his holistic approach to health, implementing a technique I didn´t even know was possible: Natural hormone treatment.

Over the pages, the author explains the role hormones play in our system, and how those components decay over the years, at the point of no return. According to his findings, it is possible to restore them with plant-based biodegradable hormones, designed for each individual and claiming it can improve quality of life. The author's conclusions and expertise can be found on the pages.

Overall, it was an interesting read; it gave me a new understanding regarding the causes of aging. Nevertheless, I need more than just a book to introduce an external compound in my body, I think more research must be conducted to increase my confidence in this method.

Author Greg Bannon, in his book Restore: Optimal Health through Bioidentical Hormones based on his experience of more than thirty years practicing as a doctor and founder of Optimal Bio, where he develops bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), raises the importance that has and the need to restore the homeostasis of our body, in this way we put our defenses against diseases in order, having a short and long term effect on our health.
When reading the book, we find data, profuse references that support the data categorically, which gives solid scientific support to his arguments. He describes to us in a layman's way what hormones are, their action on our health and then explains the replacement of hormones. I find the book's foundations extremely attractive and important, based on data and studies from the most prestigious research and health care centers. It is a work of reference for specialists and solid information for those of us who are not doctors.

I see this book by Gregory Brannon as a wide-ranging guide to rejuvenate our body by using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The author is an expert in this therapy and along the book, he exposes a highly explored outline of how hormonal imbalances affect and make changes in our bodies. He also mentions points to take into consideration to optimized levels that can lead to significant health improvements. Despite being a tough topic to deal with, I see that the author did a wonderful job as regards the organization to present and explain the subject. The book is well- organized; it begins with a primer on what bioidentical hormones are and continues with the science of aging and hormonal decline. I could follow the reading with minimal effort thanks to the specific yet simple language presented in every page. 5 stars for sure.

What I appreciated most about this book was the blend of personal clinical anecdotes with robust optimism about the possibilities of BHRT. The idea that one can regain the vitality and hormonal balance of youth while retaining the wisdom of age is compelling. Dr. Brannon's approach, focusing on plant-based, holistic methods and the staggering patient satisfaction rates he presents, adds a layer of credibility to his claims.

However, the book could benefit from a more critical discussion on potential risks or downsides, as the narrative sometimes reads like an unchallenged endorsement. Despite this, "Restore" offers a hopeful perspective on aging, making it a fascinating read for those curious about the frontiers of medical science and personal health management.

Well rounded information about hrt!

This book is interesting, it's all about using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to keep us young, or rather, growing old without frailty. But the author goes further, and delves into history as well. In the beginning of the book there's a lot of history about elixirs to keep us young, and the elusive fountain of youth. And throughout the book the author gives us a well-rounded lesson on this topic, making this a highly readable and interesting book. So, your enjoyment of this book will depend on what you're looking for. If you want a straight to the point book with technical information about hormone replacement therapy, this isn't it. But if you're interested in learning about all facets of HRT, you may enjoy this book.

This book is highly enlightening; for someone with family members suffering from hormonal imbalances, this would be a great book to understand further how the body works. The chapter about women's health was significant to me as we are trying to have children, and learning about these things is vital to conceiving naturally, but it is not a good idea for men to do BHRT. The book is illuminating, and I am very thankful that the good doctor included his sources so I can further read on the topic. The side effects discussed towards the end of the book helped educate us about the right time to explore using BHRT. It is a well put together book, I think I might read the doctor's book about hormones too.

The author convincingly presents the importance of addressing hormonal challenges holistically and how BHRT can be an effective solution. Author Brannon's narrative style is captivating, managing to make complex scientific topics accessible without sacrificing accuracy or depth. His ability to articulate medical concepts in a clear and understandable manner is admirable and makes for an enjoyable and enlightening read.

Thanks to this book, I have a new perspective on the fundamental role that hormones play in our well-being. I acquired valuable information about BHRT. I recommend this great book based on science to address one of the most important aspects of human health.

Restore by Gregory Brannon discusses the benefits of slowing down the ageing process through using bio-identical hormone replacement. Brannon claims that he uses this technique successfully in his patients, professing that he can restore hormone levels to what they were at age 25. This promise seems a bit exaggerated but there do seem to be clear benefits to using this type of hormonal treatment, including better health, slower ageing and no severe side-effects. The book does stress that you still need to primarily follow the advice of your doctor or medical professional, so only go this route if your doctor thinks it’s a good idea. I am giving this book four out of five stars.

I can definitely recommend this book

This read is truly fascinating. Aging is always a difficult subject for some people. It does not only affect what you look like but also what you feel like. And I personally think the last part is the most important one. In this book, they offer a great option to have a more joyful process of becoming old. I was baffled by the options this book narrates. I did not know all of this was possible. Hormones truly have a huge impact on our wellbeing and happiness. I can definitely recommend this book if you are looking to be up to date on the latest research regarding the topic of aging and hormones.

Compelling

Brannon's enthusiastic tone and the impressive patient satisfaction rates he cites make a persuasive argument for considering hormone therapy to combat the effects of aging. However, the book occasionally reads more like a promotional pamphlet than a nuanced discussion, glossing over potential risks and controversies associated with hormone replacement. While it certainly ignites interest in the possibilities of regaining youthful vigor, readers might benefit from seeking additional, possibly more critical perspectives to fully understand the scope and implications of such treatments.

I think this is a great start in introducing plant-based biodegradable hormones and using them to improve your quality of life. I didn't major in any of the sciences in college, but Gregory Brannon explains things pretty well. I appreciate that he talked about the biologies of the human race and what aging means for everyone and how we can help it if we wanted to. I hope more research comes out about this. It's interesting, and I'd like to be able to have great conversations with my doctor if I ever bring this up.
