Age management medicine
is best defined as the practice of prevention
of degenerative disease through the use of
optimum nutrition, exercise, pain control, use of
supplements and hormone replenishment, to
achieve an end goal of extinguishing or at least
positively modulating the symptoms and signs of
aging.
The first step demands a comprehensive
evaluation in order to determine an individual’s
metabolism, to assess endocrine function and
overall physiology. The patient’s work up includes
many diagnostic tests, guided by need and budget.
We realize that not everyone can afford everything
recommended but we will work with you. Some
tests will need to be done outside the office at an
imaging center.
After the initial diagnostic phase, the corrective
phase begins. Specific attention is given to each of
the above categories. An easy to use dietary plan
is created. Advice regarding dietary supplements
is put into place, hormone replenishment is
undertaken, and a realistic exercise program
is implemented. Ongoing supervision of the
program is necessary because corrective measures
will be modified as the patient progresses.
This approach leads to a greater quality of life
(return on investment) when you simply feel, look
and perform better. The interventions if done
properly, lead to reduced disease and a lesser need
for hospitals. Your exuberance about life becomes
infectious. Friends will want to know “what are
you doing?”
Simple results, but very important to this type
of program include mood elevation, improved
sleep, better control of blood sugar and blood
pressure, and improved wound healing. Some
diseases that are affected positively include
cancer incidence, vascular disease, osteoporosis,
Alzheimer’s disease and a cadre of others. The
results are probable that you will have less use
for prescription drugs. These drug molecules,
while they have utility, are seen by the body as
toxins. The body struggles to rid itself of them.
Specifically relevant to hormone modulation,
there is a focused effort to reduce insulin
and cortisol levels, both of which promote
degenerative disease. Endocrine balance is
essential to this goal.
Truthfully, what this amounts to is better
decisions by you, to live a life of high quality that
will remain with you into the later years.
Don’t give up on your goals and dreams just
because you are over a certain age. The optimum
age to begin is during your 40’s, but it’s never
too late to start. Boost energy and sexuality,
reduce body fat, increase lean muscle, improve
cholesterol, strengthen the immune system, lift
your mood, manage stress and improve cognitive
function. This is what age management is all
about.
