Anti-Aging & Longevity Medicine is an Evolving Branch of Regenerative Medical Science
The focus is to treat the underlying causes, and aims at alleviating age related ailments.
Aging is a slow but gradual process that is characterized by a continuous decline in the normal physiological functions of living organisms over their lifespan. The body’s resilience decreases, making it more sensitive to aging-related diseases.
Aging is the biggest risk factor for all chronic diseases including arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s and many more.
The two major categorizes of aging: chronological age, which is the number of years one has lived, and biological age, which is influenced by our genes, lifestyle, behavior, the environment and other factors. Biological age is the superior measure of true age and is the most biologically relevant feature, as it closely correlates with
mortality and health status.
Various studies explore potential causes, includes three primary biochemical processes central to aging: oxidation, glycation, and DNA methylation (Epigenetics). Additionally, other relevant processes are chronic inflammation and hormonal deregulation. These processes are the best biomarkers for laboratory testing cellular health.
biochemical processes central to aging
Free radicals are generated through oxidation. Elevated free radical levels harm the cell membrane. This interaction creates a harmful chemical that damages cells, contributing to another significant aging process known as glycation.
Glucose molecules bind to proteins. The attachment of sugar to protein results in the cross-linking of proteins, causing harm by interacting with free radicals and toxins to form Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs), releasing harmful chemicals that damage tissues and DNA.
A crucial biochemical process that plays a significant role in functionality and maintaining overall health involves adding a methyl group to our DNA, significantly affecting gene activity. It is an essential epigenetic mechanism that influences gene expression and is necessary for normal development and critical biological functions. Imbalances in methylation are central to various health issues, affecting gene expression and cellular function. Abnormal DNA methylation is linked to multiple diseases.
Hormone levels play a significant role in health and the onset of diseases. They are intricately linked to the immune system. Any imbalance can contribute to chronic inflammation, which can affect the intricate hormonal balance necessary for regulating key physiological functions such as metabolism, immune response, stress management, reproduction, and mental well-being.
going beyond typical disease management to provide therapies that repair, regenerate and restore our cells to a state of optimal health.
ANTI-AGING MEDICINE
Focuses on treating the underlying causes of aging to extend the human lifespan. Anti-aging treatments are personalized to each patient and may include health assessments and various laboratory testing. lifestyle modifications, Anti-aging drugs, called senolytics; remove cells that accumulate with age related defects causing cellular dysfunction and uncontrolled inflammation, that
lead to diseased states
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Focuses on using the body’s natural repair mechanisms to regenerate, replace, or engineer tissue. Regenerative medicine uses stem cells, tissue engineering, and other technologies to restore function and grow organs in controlled environments. Regenerative medicine can also involve hormone therapy, which can increase energy levels, improve skin tone,
and increase sexual stamina
Anti-Aging Medicine is an approach to health that is highly individualized designed to keep you in the best health possible
BENEFITS
Numerous treatment options are available. Our team’s emphasis is on thorough assessments and laboratory tests to help us develop personalized treatment plans. This enables us to evaluate the metabolic and genetic changes contributing to conditions and disease states that are inhibiting your optimal health. By interpreting the assessments and lab results, we can identify medications and treatments that may slow down or even reverse the dysfunctional cellular activity.

A good candidate for Anti-Aging/Longevity treatments is anyone looking to improve their overall health, appearance, and vitality as they age.
In many cases, clients notice improvements within a few weeks, with full benefits developing over time.
The effects of Anti-Aging/Longevity treatments can last long with proper maintenance and follow-up treatments.
The majority of treatments require minimal downtime, though some may experience mild side effects like redness or swelling.
Before treatment, follow any specific instructions given by your practitioner, such as avoiding certain medications. After treatment, maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow up as recommended.
During Anti-Aging/Longevity treatments, you may undergo various procedures such as DNA testing, nutritional planning, and targeted therapies, all designed to improve your health and appearance.
