Anti-Aging & Functional Medicine

Prevent and slow down age-related disease and dysfunction.

• Do you want to live a healthier life?
• Prevent future disorders?
• Feel younger and more vibrant?

Anti-Aging medicine employs the latest scientific research, advances in biotechnology, and clinical preventive medicine to slow down conditions associated with aging. Through preventive screenings, early disease detection, prompt intervention, and optimal nutrition, anti-aging physicians help fight and slow down age-related disease and dysfunction.

Anti-Aging Medicine Slows Down the Aging Process

Your biological age is not the same as your chronological age. In unhealthy people, the biological age is often measured to be much higher than their real age. On the other hand, healthy people are often seen as much younger that they actually are. Anti-aging medicine focuses on slowing down the biological aging process by treating and preventing age-related disease on the molecular and cellular level.

Anti-Aging Medicine Treats the Underlying Condition

In traditional medicine, physicians attempt to address the processes of illness and control its symptoms. A traditional doctor will prescribe medicine to help mask individual disease symptoms. Because prescription drugs have undesired side effects, they tend to cause further problems in the patient's body. These secondary symptoms are not the result of the underlying disease, but rather the effect of medication used to alleviate the original symptoms. The patient receives more drugs and the downward spiral of masking disease with prescription drugs continues. The physician's role is often reduced to managing drugs and not patient's health.

Anti-aging medicine deals with the actual physiological and biochemical causes for diseases and age-related disorders. Anti-aging doctors focus on treating the body at the microscopic, cellular, and biochemical levels. Anti-aging physicians find and treat the cause of disease, and not simply prescribe medication to mask disease symptoms. Instead of maintaining disease in its current state, anti-aging medicine emphasizes the need to improve health, optimize performance, and increase the quality of life for the patient.

Hormone Balance is Vital to Your Health

Patients often complain of fatigue, memory problems, headaches, emotional, and relationship issues. Although these complaints are frequently treated with prescription drugs to mask the symptoms, the true underlying causes are not adequately addressed.

The absence or imbalance of certain hormones has been found to be often the primary cause of such common patient complaints. With age, your body becomes less efficient in producing proper levels of natural hormones that are critical to the functioning of all major organs and vital body systems. Unhealthy life style, poor nutrition, stress, and toxins cause molecular stress inside your body and lead to serious hormonal imbalances.

Both men and women can have unique hormonal problems. Women frequently suffer from premature perimenopausal symptoms. Men experience andropause, often associated with low testosterone levels.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

With minimal intervention, an anti-aging physician can help patients with hormonal deficiencies regain their health and vitality. Treating the underlying hormonal imbalance has a much better effect than prescribing separate medications for the individual symptoms. Perimenopausal women report tremendous improvement in their well-being, reduced depression, better sleep, no anxiety, and no more weight gain.

In both men and women, disorders improve, thinking improves, and personal relationships get better. Patients report dramatic results, regained health, and renewed vitality. The umph for life is back.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses hormones that are identical on the molecular level to the hormones in your body. Hormone levels are tested throughout the process to determine the proper balance. Anti-aging medicine emphasizes restoring hormones to normal, acceptable, healthy levels and returning your body to good health.

Nutrition and Supplementation

Along with proper hormone balance, metabolic balance is crucial to your health, well-being, and optimal performance. Anti-aging physicians understand that the body must obtain and absorb the right nutrients to function properly and remain disease-free. Nutritional deficiencies and gut inflammation are often the underlying causes of serious and debilitating symptoms.

Even asymptomatic patients can suffer from low levels of amino acids, vitamins, or minerals. These nutritional deficiencies frequently lead to the development of more serious, often life-threating, conditions. For example, research shows that majority of people are deficient in Vitamin D which plays an important role in improving glucose metabolism, maintaining bone health, strengthening immunity, and preventing cancer.

Using the latest nutritional testing, an experienced board-certified anti-aging physician can help you determine your nutritional deficiencies and design a customized supplementation plan. Simple adjustments in your diet and supplements can make a huge difference in the improvement of your health and vitality.

Customized Medicine

A personalized approach to healthcare is one of the most important cornerstones of anti-aging medicine. Anti-aging physicians understand and emphasize that every patient is different biochemically, physiologically, and psychologically. A successful treatment plan must take into account the unique biochemistry of each individual patient.

Anti-aging medicine focuses on designing custom treatment programs based on specialized tests, individual risk assessments, and unique health histories. Customized therapies allow anti-aging medicine doctors to help their patients achieve and maintain optimal levels of performance: sexual, physical, and mental.

Preventative Medicine

In anti-aging medicine, prevention of future disease is just as important as treating an existing one. The best way to treat any medical condition is to prevent one in the first place. Active screening, early diagnosis, latest laboratory testing, modern medical imaging technologies, and prompt intervention are fundamental in helping patients avoid serious life-threatening diseases.

If you can prevent future diseases, you don't have to be treated. An anti-aging physician will help you identify important risk factors and design a customized treatment to avoid getting sick. By optimizing health, improving nutrition, and making positive adjustments to your lifestyle, you can minimize the risks of major diseases:

Anti-aging medicine focuses on optimizing health, maintaining wellness, reducing known risk factors, prevention of diseases, pre-emptive testing,and slowing down age-related diseases.

Integrative Medicine

Anti-aging medicine emphasizes an integrative and holistic approach to treating the body and the mind. Anti-aging physicians focus on health optimization and often combine a variety of methods to optimize their patients' health:

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is devoted to discovering the underlying causes of chronic medical conditions.

Viewing your body as an integrated system, functional medicine uses a systems-oriented approach to a patient-centered care.

Medical Conditions Treated with Functional Medicine

Functional medicine can be used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions including:

How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

While conventional medicine focuses on suppressing the symptoms of a medical condition, Functional Medicine discovers and addresses its underlying causes.

Unlike conventional medicine, Functional Medicine addresses the patient as a whole - not as an isolated set of systems and symptoms.

Functional Medicine looks at both external (environmental) and internal (lifestyle) factors to determine the best course of patient care.
