Anti-aging medicine

Anti-aging medicine

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. The phrase "anti-aging," as such, relates to the application of advanced biomedical technologies focused on the early detection, prevention, and treatment of aging-related disease.

As we age, our hormone levels decline as part of our "neuro-endocrine clock." This negative change can be detected in most people during their 30's and is directly related to the symptoms and undesirable changes in body form and function that we associate with aging. Physical deterioration is not a requirement of aging. It is possible to stop much of the undesirable aspect of aging as well as symptoms and diseases associated with aging. Our goal in Anti-Aging Medicine is to bring hormone levels back to physiologic levels of youth.

Hormones regulate activites of vital organs and stimulate a multitude of life-giving processes throughout the body which maintain health, harmony, healing, and repair. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy has become popular as a method intended to delay the progression of age-related physical and mental decline and is an updated science which has been shown to prolong the quality of one's life.
