What Is Anti-Aging?

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty based on the application of advanced scientific technologies and medical therapies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related disorders and diseases. In other words, it is advanced preventative medicine based on scientific research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans.

The Environment

Another huge contributor to rapid aging is a toxic environment, which includes the air we breathe, the water we drink and the other environmental pollutants, including electromagnetic frequencies. How to protect yourself from these is important, especially since toxins are silent killers that do their damage over decades.

Hormone Replacement

As we age, the panoply of hormones that flood our biological systems when we are young dissipates. There are some exceptions—hormones that increase as we age, with negative effects—but most are essential to our youthful levels of energy, physical and mental. Under proper medical care, these hormones are replaced and properly balanced.

Stem Cells

One of the great medical breakthroughs of modern medicine is the use of adult stem cells derived from fat. These cells take on the characteristics of tissue they are introduced to, and then begin to repair the tissue by replacing damaged cells. Recent breakthroughs include repair to skin, muscle and cartilage, with nerve tissue next. The most common cosmetic application of stem cells is the stem cell-enriched fat transfers to the face.

The Brain

There is no greater fear for baby boomers than the fear of becoming demented. Indeed, much of aging has to do with the brain, and with our basic abilities to process data, reason and remember. The loss of brain vitality is key to the aging process, and the ability to reverse this through restoring neurotransmitters is the final leg of anti-aging.

Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is not surgery or diet pills. It is a physician-directed weight management program based on medical scientific principles that target the root causes of obesity and weight gain to achieve and sustain a healthy weight in the long-term.
