Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Recent predictions indicate it will affect one in 85 people globally by the year 2050.
There is no cure for the disease and as it continues to progress, it will eventually lead to death. Most Alzheimer's patients are diagnosed over 65 years of age. However, it can occur in people who are much younger.
Some doctors believes that there is a direct correlation between insufficiency of Estradiol (a hormone) and the development of Alzheimer's.
Gino Tutera, MD, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss how hormone insufficiency could lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Can Hormone Insufficiency Lead to Alzheimer’s?

Guest Bio:
Dr. Gino Tutera is recognized worldwide as a pioneer and leader in the field of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
He has practiced medicine for over 40 years and specializes now in natural hormone therapy. In 2002, Dr. Tutera founded SottoPelle® Therapy, but he has been an industry leader in performing pellet therapy since 1992.
Dr. Tutera developed his unique treatment method based on the use of subcutaneous (beneath the skin) hormone replacement pellets, the most effective hormone delivery system available for hormone replacement therapy. He has published three books on the subject: You Don't Have to Live with It!, Life Regained: The Real Solution to Managing Menopause and Andropause and You Don't Have to Live with It! Two, which gives deep insight into hormone replacement therapy for men and women.
He's never been one to say "I told you so," but it was no surprise to Dr. Tutera when BHRT, backed by solid scientific evidence, sky-rocketed into the spotlight. Thanks to the increased media attention, people are becoming aware of what Dr. Tutera has known all along: that BHRT, when properly delivered, can work wonders. - Length (mins): 10
