We can help with all of these conditions. Hormones are the foundation of your health and should be optimized to amplify the effects of supplements, diet, lifestyle and anti-aging therapies.
can aging be reversed?
Yes, aging can be reversed up until a point. The tissues in your body can age at a rate that is faster or slower than your chronological age depending on your health status. And this is something we can easily measure through breath or body composition analysis. While you might be 50 years old, your tissue could be anywhere from 40-60 years old. Aging will accelerate in the presence of disease and decelerate or reverse in an optimized state.
How can we control for that?
Recent advances in cellular medicine have revealed that aging is driven by factors like cellular senescence, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic changes, stem cell exhaustion, and DNA damage. These discoveries are leading to innovative therapies aimed at slowing the aging process, promoting tissue regeneration, and enhancing overall longevity by targeting the underlying cellular mechanisms of aging.
We know if we focus on 3 main areas of health, we can dramatically slow down the aging process that may reverse chronic conditions:
- Hormone Optimization
- Metabolic Flexibility
- Gut Health
It’s not a coincidence that these 3 areas are involved in over 90% of health conditions.
Balanced Body Program
To achieve the pinnacle of health, we will meet you where you are. While all the components of our Balanced Body program need to be optimized over time, we start with the most pressing issues first – whether it’s hormone deficiency, metabolic dysfunction or gut dysbiosis.
Hormone Optimization
Hormone deficiencies can lead to a variety of health issues, including bone disorders like osteoporosis, metabolic issues like weight gain and diabetes, mood and cognitive disturbances, cardiovascular risks, fatigue, and exposure to certain cancers like breast, colon and prostate cancer. Hormone deficiencies affect multiple systems, impacting health and well-being.
Metabolic Flexibility
Metabolic dysfunction can lead to metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and PCOS. It also contributes to chronic inflammation, cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Metabolic disorders are linked with 13 cancers and long term chronic conditions.
Gut Health
Gut health issues can lead to digestive disorders, but also lead to autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, migraines, immune dysfunction, hormone imbalances and metabolic proglems such as obesity and diabetes. The gut's influence extends beyond digestion affecting immunity, metabolism and even the brain.
Pain Relief
Pain can destroy lives. We have NON-opioid solutions to pain from little know generic wonder peptides to orthomolecular injectiables. We can help alleviate pain as we work on the root cause of your health issue.
Cognition
Mental acuity as we age is vital. We measure your utilization of oxygen and posture, which are strong predictors of cognition and can work wtih you to improve both through exercise and select cognitive enhnacing peptides.
Longevity
Your VO2 max and grip strength are the 2 most powerful predictors of longevity. We not only follow them but teach you how to improve them. We also use peptides to improve exercise performance.
