Hormone Optimization
The foundation of age reversal starts with hormone optimization. It is not a coincidence that aging accelerates around 50 and that is the same time menopause begins. They are intricately linked. When you lose your hormones, you lose your body’s best defense against the aging process. But aging is complex and doesn’t stop with just hormone replacement. This is why we created our Balanced Body Program to incorporate the 5 main agents of aging – hormones, metabolism, gut, immunity and cognition coupled with predictors of longevity with solutions.
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.
Immunity
As we age, our immune system weakens, making us more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Boosting immunity is key to staying healthy and resilient as we grow older!
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.
Regenerative Medicine
There have been incredible advances in medical science and technology. The problem is it takes 20 years for research to become algorithmic medicine and covered by insurance. Meaning your primary provider or even specialist will generally not offer you the latest advances in care because it takes decades to become “standard of care” and reimbursable by insurance. The question is do you want to wait 20 years to benefit from what we can do today? 20 years ago we knew almost nothing about cellular health, today we have incredibly promising procedures that have leap frogged anything I learned at university for all kinds of diseases and health conditions. And I am thrilled to bring them to you.
PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body’s own healing cells to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate growth. By concentrating platelets from a small blood sample, PRP delivers growth factors directly to areas needing rejuvenation, like skin, hair, and joints. Safe and minimally invasive, PRP offers natural healing with minimal downtime.
Biologics
Biologics therapy utilizes regenerative cells to repair, restore, and rejuvenate damaged tissues. These specialized cells, derived from sources within the body, are concentrated and administered to areas needing repair, where they release growth factors and signaling molecules that encourage natural healing. This advanced, minimally invasive approach is used in joint pain relief, injury recovery, and cosmetic rejuvenation, providing an effective, natural solution for long-lasting results.
Protein Arrays
This is a specialized therapeutic approach that utilizes proteins derived from placental tissue to promote healing and regeneration. This array includes a variety of bioactive proteins, growth factors, and cytokines that aid in tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support cellular function.
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body, helping to regulate key processes like tissue repair, immune response, and metabolism. In therapeutic use, peptides are valued for their ability to support muscle growth, skin rejuvenation, fat loss, cognitive health, and injury recovery. Safe and effective when properly administered, peptide therapy has become popular for its targeted, natural approach to enhancing health and wellness.
Ozone
Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses ozone (O₃), a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, to stimulate healing and improve oxygenation in the body. Known for its powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, ozone therapy is used to treat various conditions, from chronic infections and autoimmune disorders to joint pain and wound healing. By increasing oxygen levels in tissues and supporting the immune system, ozone therapy promotes faster recovery and enhances overall health. It's typically administered via injections, IV, or localized treatments, providing a natural, minimally invasive approach to healing.
IV Therapy
IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, delivers essential vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for 100% absorption and faster, more effective results compared to oral supplements. IV therapy can be used for various purposes, including hydration, immune support, energy enhancement, athletic recovery, and anti-aging. It’s popular for its ability to quickly replenish nutrient levels, support recovery, and boost overall wellness with minimal downtime.
Longevity Medicine
Longevity medicine focuses on extending healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—by proactively addressing factors that contribute to aging. Through personalized interventions, it aims to optimize physical, cognitive, and metabolic health, delaying the onset of age-related diseases and promoting vitality.
Aging Is The Biggest Risk Factor For Chronic Disease
Yes, aging can be reversed
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 lab testing, breath and 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.
Biological age testing uses advanced DNA analysis to reveal how quickly your body is aging at the cellular level, offering insights beyond chronological age. By identifying markers of inflammation, immune health, and aging, it helps personalize health strategies, assess disease risks early, and track the impact of lifestyle changes on slowing the aging process.
