Abstract:
(Producer) From testicular implants to hormone "replacement" therapy to compounded "bio-identical" hormone creams, estrogen and testosterone have been viewed as youth-restoring elixirs for more than a century. This talk explores the evolution--in some cases, stagnation--of beliefs regarding the effects of hormones on the preservation of youth.
