Hosted by Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC radio’s The Current, Dr. Prior recently joined a discussion on the ‘anti-aging’ industry in North America and the use of bio-identical hormones to delay natural aging processes.
Some women are using bio-identical hormones as a way to mitigate the side-effects of menopause and some men are using human growth hormone as a way of maintaining a leaner physique later in life. This programme asks what is behind this anti-aging fixation.
The market for bioidentical hormones is not limited to women south of the border. Many Canadians are also trying to keep aging at bay. Dr. Jerilynn Prior offers a different perspective on this story.
