Explains Dr. Kountz: "The layman equates these hormones with sex, but equally important is the part they play in nutrition and the ability of the body to use the food it gets. As we grow old, if we don't have a proper hormone balance, the body burns up its own protein. We lose carbohydrates, fat and minerals as well. Even brain tissue is absorbed. We found that old people suffered this loss even if they were eating properly. Then we found out why-they lacked androgens and estrogens. Without a proper androgen...
