What is Hormone Optimisation Therapy?
Definition and how it works
Hormone optimisation therapy (TRT/HRT) goes beyond treating clinical deficiencies: it aims to maintain hormone levels in the optimal range (not merely within the standard reference range) to maximise quality of life, body composition, cognitive function and longevity. It encompasses testosterone, oestradiol, progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, thyroid and growth hormone, always guided by comprehensive biomarker analysis.
Origin and history
The first therapeutic use of testosterone extracts was in 1935. Oestrogen therapy for menopause became widespread in the 1960s. Hormone optimisation medicine as a specific discipline emerged through the work of Abraham Morgentaler and Thierry Hertoghe in the 1990s–2000s.

The science behind Hormone Optimisation Therapy
Scientific evidence summary
The WHI study (2002) generated controversy around HRT, but subsequent reviews confirm that early initiation of therapy (before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause) reduces cardiovascular risk and mortality. Meta-analyses in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism confirm that TRT in men with hypogonadism improves cardiovascular, metabolic and quality-of-life markers.
