Longevity Medicine, Functional Wellness & Anti-Aging Insights from HormoneSynergy®

TriFortify Liposomal Glutathione offers a delicious, highly absorbable liposomal glutathione option for those who prefer liquid over capsules. Dr. Retzler’s pick for enhanced cellular antioxidant support in Portland, OR and nationwide.

Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein®) is one of the most brain-targeted forms of magnesium available—and one of the most popular supplements we recommend at HormoneSynergy® Clinic (Portland & Lake Oswego). Here’s why we love it, how to use it, and how to choose between unflavored and berry powder.

Discover why S-Acetyl Glutathione (Gnosis Biotech Emothion) from RetzlerRx® delivers superior antioxidant support, absorption, and cellular protection compared to regular glutathione supplements — now shippping USA-wide with 10% off using code EMOTHION.

Protein has become the loudest nutrient on the internet—praised as the key to fat loss, muscle, and longevity, and criticized as another overhyped trend. The truth is more nuanced. At HormoneSynergy® Clinic (Portland & Lake Oswego), we take a measured, evidence-based approach to protein that supports muscle, metabolism, and long-term health—without turning every meal into a performance.

Menopause and andropause are not endpoints—they are physiologic inflection points that shape bone, cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive health for decades. This article explains how hormonal transitions affect aging, why timing matters, and how early, thoughtful support preserves long-term resilience and independence.

When health becomes a culture war, truth becomes optional — and the loudest voices win, not the most accurate ones. I’ve spent years alongside Dr. Kathryn Retzler watching real longevity medicine get distorted by influencer certainty, tribal outrage, and algorithm-driven “hot takes.” At HormoneSynergy® Clinic in Portland & Lake Oswego, we believe healthspan is built the unglamorous way: with a physician you trust, data you can measure, and follow-through you can sustain.

Sleep is not just rest—it’s a biological repair state that regulates hormones, metabolism, brain function, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. At HormoneSynergy® Clinic in Portland and Lake Oswego, Oregon, we treat sleep as a foundational longevity tool, because poor sleep quietly accelerates aging even in otherwise “healthy” people.

We’ve followed Dr. Dale Bredesen’s work for years, attended multiple lectures, and appreciate how closely it aligns with the systems-based way we approach brain health. His ReCODE (Bredesen protocol) framework reinforces a key message: memory improvement and long-term cognitive performance are often supported by optimizing sleep, metabolism, inflammation, hormones, and nutrient status.

Weight alone does not define health. Many people develop insulin resistance, muscle loss, and metabolic dysfunction years before diabetes or obesity appear. This article explains why metabolic health—not the scale—is foundational to longevity, and how strength, sleep, and early intervention protect long-term healthspan.

Many people hesitate to invest in longevity care because they’re already paying high insurance premiums. Learn why proactive, concierge longevity medicine in Portland and Lake Oswego may actually cost less than waiting for preventable disease.

The term “microdosing” is increasingly used to describe GLP-1 medications—but it is not a medical definition. At HormoneSynergy® Clinic in Portland and Lake Oswego, we explain what patients usually mean by microdosing, where confusion and risk arise, and how GLP-1 therapy fits responsibly into weight management, metabolic health, and emerging brain-health discussions.

Heart disease rarely begins with symptoms. It develops silently over decades. This article explains why traditional risk scores often miss early disease, how metabolism, hormones, and inflammation affect vascular health, and how advanced preventive cardiology—including Cleerly® testing—can identify risk early enough to change outcomes.
