Procedures: Anti-Aging Consultation

Anti-aging medicine looks at aging as a disease that can be medically treated. This is a paradigm shift from traditional medicine which focuses on treating the effects of aging. Traditional medicine predominately treats external symptoms (eg., Alzheimer's disease, type II diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease), which primarily have internal causes. Anti-aging medicine focuses on prevention of these illnesses by working to change the process of aging itself.

Anti-aging medicine is based on sound medical and scientific literature. The goal is to use this knowledge to help maintain a person's quality of life at as high of a level as possible, for as long as possible (and perhaps extend one's lifespan as well).

The primary principles of anti-aging are:

• bio-identical hormone replacement for female menopause and male andropause.
• hormone replacement for other hormone deficiencies including, thyroid, human growth hormone, melatonin, etc.
• eating a hormonally correct diet
• using vitamins, minerals and other supplements that become deficient as we get older
• routine physical and mental exercise
• stress reduction
• strategies to reduce and neutralize tissue damaging free radicals
