Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine
A clinical medical specialty and field of scientific research aimed at the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age related decline. Traditionally medicine has focused on the treatment of “disease”. But now Anti-Aging Medicine offers a chance for true primary prevention. As opposed to waiting for a disease to occur, there are many measures that we can take to proactively optimize our bodily functions and health state enabling us to be more resilient.
Did you notice that at a certain age, your body just isn’t like it used to be? Even though you have maintained the same routine lifestyle of diet and exercise, you just are not able to manage the same workload. Your body just isn’t responding as it used to and you just know that you are “getting old".
Do you suffer from:
• Chronic background fatigue
• Feeling tired despite a full night’s sleep
• Loss of fitness and stamina
• Weight gain / difficulty losing weight
• Becoming more and more forgetful
• Minor aches and pains, low back pain, joint pain
• Insomnia or poor quality of sleep
• Loss of libido
Many times these problems are put off to “aging”. Did you know that there are medical treatments available to alleviate these problems? Age-related decline is reversible through Anti-Aging Medicine. An Anti-Aging program goes beyond an annual medical check-up, which is designed to detect disease states - but the mere absence of disease is not enough. We want to maximize quality of life and minimize the risk of developing disease.
Through very detailed biochemical blood tests and medical investigations, we can develop a better understanding of how well your body is functioning. We look for imbalances and sub-optimal states which typically go undetected. By correcting these imbalances, we can attain a better health state, reduce the risk of developing diseases in the future and correct those annoying age-related health problems.
Anti-Aging programs are designed to help slow down the aging process, prevent degenerative diseases and reverse age-related decline. But more importantly to improve health status and quality-of- life.
Micronutrition Programs:
You are what you eat. Your basic nutritional balance in your blood is checked to see if you have the building blocks and fuel that your body needs to run optimally. Any imbalances that we find will be off-set by custom-made nutritional supplements.
Blood Tests:
• Antioxidants and Free Radicals
• Vitamins and Minerals
• Fatty Acids
• Amino Acids
• Energy Production Cycle
• Etc.
Men’s and Women’s Health Programs:
Hormones play a key role in regulating body functions. With aging, many of our hormones decline causing a multitude of symptoms. Low hormones can be detected and corrected providing relief of such symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of hormone deficiency: Male
• Fatigue, tiredness, loss of energ
• Loss of memory or concentration
• Loss of sex drive or libido
• Loss of morning erections or sexual performance
• Backache, joint pains or stiffness
• Loss of fitness
• Depression, low or negative mood
• Irritability, anger or bad temper
• Anxiety or nervousness
• Feeling over-stressed
Female
• Hot flashes and sweats
• Lethargy, loss of energy
• Depression, low or negative mood
• Tension, irritability, anxiety
• Loss of memory or concentration
• Headaches
• Droopy breasts
• Loss of sex drive or libido
• Vaginal dryness, urinary symptoms
• Hair and skin changes
If we detect a deficiency, it can be corrected by using “bio-identical” hormones. The right form and the right formulation can make a big difference. Natural hormones yield better results with lower risks.
Blood Tests:
All hormones and their related metabolites such as
• Sex hormones: Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone
• Thyroid hormones: TSH, T3, T4
• Adrenal hormones: DHEA-S, Cortisol
• Pituitary hormones: IGF-1
• Etc.
