27May

Along with proper hormone balance, metabolic balance is crucial to your health, well-being, and optimal performance. Anti-aging physicians, At our Age Management Center, understand that proper nutrition and supplementation are essential for the body to obtain and absorb the right nutrients, enabling it to function optimally and maintain disease-free well-being.

Nutritional deficiencies and gut inflammation are often the underlying causes of serious and debilitating symptoms.

Even asymptomatic patients can suffer from low levels of amino acids, vitamins, or minerals. These nutritional deficiencies frequently lead to the development of more serious, often life-threatening, conditions. 

For example, research shows that majority of people are deficient in Vitamin D which plays an important role in improving glucose metabolism, maintaining bone health, strengthening immunity, and preventing cancer.

Using the latest nutritional testing, an experienced board-certified anti-aging physician can help you determine your nutritional deficiencies and design a customized supplementation plan.

Simple adjustments in your diet and supplements can make a huge difference in improving your health and vitality.

Customized Medicine

A personalized approach to healthcare is one of the most important cornerstones of anti-aging medicine.

At our Age Management Center we understand and emphasize that every patient is different biochemically, physiologically, and psychologically. A successful treatment plan must consider the unique biochemistry of each patient.

Anti-aging medicine focuses on designing custom treatment programs based on specialized tests, individual risk assessments, and unique health histories.

Customized therapies allow anti-aging medicine doctors to help their patients achieve and maintain optimal performance levels: sexual, physical, and mental.

Preventive Medicine

In anti-aging medicine, preventing future diseases is just as important as treating an existing one. The best way to treat any medical condition is to prevent one in the first place. 

Active screening, early diagnosis, the latest laboratory testing, modern medical imaging technologies, and prompt intervention are fundamental in helping patients avoid serious life-threatening diseases.

You don’t have to be treated if you can prevent future diseases. An anti-aging physician will help you identify important risk factors and design a customized treatment to avoid getting sick. 

By optimizing health, improving nutrition, and making positive adjustments to your lifestyle, you can minimize the risks of major diseases:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Cerebrovascular disorders
  • Dementia
  • Alzheimer’s

Anti-aging medicine focuses on optimizing health, maintaining wellness, reducing known risk factors, preventing diseases, pre-emptive testing, and slowing down age-related diseases.

Integrative medicine is a holistic medical discipline which takes into account the lifestyle habits of a patient - age management-center
31Mar

At our Age Management Center  integrative medicine is a holistic medical discipline which takes into account the lifestyle habits of a patient.

The physician works to treat the whole person rather than just the disease. The mind, body, and soul of a patient are taken into consideration to promote healing and well-being.

Integrative medicine uses a combination of modern healthcare practices to diagnose and treat a patient. Treatments may include such modalities as acupuncture, yoga, or massage.

Integrative medicine also focuses on the nutritional and exercise habits of the patient to curb factors related to obesity and diabetes. 

Integrative Approach

Anti-aging medicine emphasizes an integrative and holistic approach to treating the body and the mind. Anti-aging physicians focus on health optimization and often combine a variety of methods to optimize their patients’ health:

  • Lifestyle modification
  • Fitness and exercise coaching
  • Weight loss support
  • Nutritional planning
  • Detoxification
  • Vitamin supplementation
  • Nutritional supplementation
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Hormone therapy
  • BHRT for men
  • BHRT for women
  • Wellness optimization
  • Body and mind regeneration
  • Aesthetic procedures
  • Sleep disorder treatment
  • Stress management
  • Acupuncture
  • Spiritual balance
  • Meditation and prayer

What is Functional Medicine

Functional medicine embraces much of the philosophy of Integrative medicine as described above but also employs a systems-oriented medical approach that works to identify and understand the underlying or root causes of disease.

Functional medicine takes into account the personalization of healthcare, as each patient care plan is distinct and unique.  

The relationship between patient and practitioner effectively becomes a partnership; every aspect of a patient’s medical history is reviewed in detail.

Stem Cell Therapy: Repair Damaged Cells & Reduce Inflammation
21Feb

e Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system.  

This phenomenon makes stem cell therapy a viable treatment option for various medical conditions. 

Stem cell therapies have been used to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, orthopedic conditions and traumatic injuries.

While stem cell therapy does not necessarily provide a cure for these conditions, the premise is to allow the body to heal itself well enough to mitigate the symptoms of the conditions for long periods.

In many cases, this effect can substantially increase the quality of life for patients as well as delay disease progression.

Where do stem cells come from?

Stem cells can be obtained from many different sources. These include adipose (fat tissue), umbilical cord tissue, placental tissue, umbilical cord blood, or bone marrow.

How are stem cells administered?

Stem cells can be administered in a variety of fashions; IV Stem Cell Therapy (Intravenous administration), Intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal), Site injections into problem areas (Knee, hips, hands, etc.)

How does stem cell therapy work?

Mesenchymal stem cells utilize their self-renewal, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, signaling, and differentiation properties to influence positive change within the body.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) also have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and developing into multiple specialized cell types present in a specific tissue or organ. 

However, the Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells, meaning they present no ethical concerns, MSCs are not sourced from embryonic material.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are the body’s raw materials, from which all other cells with specialized functions are created. 

Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells with self-renewal, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, signaling, and differentiation properties. 

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), self renewal capacity is characterized by their ability to divide and develop into multiple specialized cell types present in a specific tissue or organ.

The Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be sourced from a variety of tissue, including adipose tissue (fat), bone marrow, umbilical cord tissue, blood, liver, dental pulp, and skin.  

MSCs are widely used in treating various diseases due to their self-renewable, differentiation, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties.

In-vitro (performed in a laboratory setting) and in-vivo (taking place in a living organism) studies have supported the understanding mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of MSC therapy in clinical applications.

Stem cells age as we do

In addition, Stem cell numbers and effectiveness begin to decrease as we age exponentially. 

For example, stem cells from a person in their twenties are not nearly as high quality as the brand new cells sourced from umbilical cord tissue.

Conclusion

In conclusion, previously untreatable neurodegenerative diseases may now possibly become treatable with advanced stem cell therapies.  

In addition, Age Management Centers offering regenerative medicine and its benefits may be the key to prolonging human life.

Hormone Optimization for PMS, Perimenopause & Menopause

Age Management Plan: Hormone Balancing & Genetic Testing - age management center
30Aug

Age Management Plan: It’s not a one-size fits all treatment. Proper hormone balancing is a complex system requiring comprehensive testing to correctly deliver hormones and nutrition supplementation.

It is not guesswork; it is science. Without proper testing, you put your health at risk.

With a total body approach, we test in more than 15 health categories, including bone density, hormone and nutrition profiles, biomarkers for disease, enzyme levels, body chemistry, genetics, stress and more.

Our comprehensive assessment reviews every aspect of your health and lets us know exactly where you are in the aging process.

This allows our medical team to make lasting corrections to put you at the lowest possible risk for age-related diseases and personalize your age management plan.

Tests included in your assessment:

  • CIRCUMFERENCE MEASUREMENTS: Serves as a reference point as you begin or continue your exercise routine.
  • BLOOD PRESSURE
  • RESTING METABOLIC RATE: The most precise assessment of your caloric needs. Knowing your metabolic rate will allow you to develop a customized nutrition plan to meet your health, fitness, and weight goals.
  • BODY COMPOSITION TEST: Assesses your body fat percentage as it is related to a decreased risk of chronic disease and a subjective increase in quality of life.
  • VO2 MAX & EKG TESTING: A measurement of cardiorespiratory fitness.
  • ENDOPAT TEST: Estimates your vascular health and predicts your risk of vascular disease.
  • BONE DENSITY/DEXA: Evaluates the health of your skeletal system and risk for osteoporosis.
  • COMPREHENSIVE BLOOD DRAW: Lab analysis that includes a metabolic panel including thyroid, evaluation of hormone levels (Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen, DHEA, IGF-I/GH), blood count and PSA test in men.

After completing your test results, a personalized treatment recommendation will be provided at our Age Management Center.

Genetic Testing

Aging is complex and can significantly impact gene regulation, the process of turning genes on and off.

Through your Age Management Genetic Profile, you will gain additional clues on how to improve your genetic aging and ensure all your cells function optimally.

These select genes may give insight into certain aspects of your aging process and how to stop or control these processes:

  • Sun aging
  • Sun sensitivity
  • Age-related metabolism
  • Inflammation
  • Lean body mass

Your genetic testing results will be paired with a comprehensive evaluation of your current hormone status, extensive lab tests, a review of your personal medical history, and state-of-the-art metabolic testing to map your personal path to longer and better health.

As a result, you’ll receive the most comprehensive age management plan for lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and skin health for optimal health and longevity.

Genetic testing is included in every Age Management program at no additional cost.

At Age Management Center of USA Mexico and Canada, we practice a future model of medicine that integrates conventional, anti-aging, and functional medicine.
30Aug

Because no two men are the same, better aging is approached individually for each person. With age management medicine, you will look better, feel better, reclaim your focus your energy, and ignite your physical intimacy.

As men age, many face the reality of their changing bodies through symptoms like fatigue, mood changes/depression, irritability, reduced libido, less sexual function, joint and muscle pain, declining fitness and muscle mass, and osteoporosis.

Addressing Low Testosterone

Declining testosterone levels could be the culprit, and some are told it’s normal – that it is “just part of getting older.”

Addressing low testosterone may improve some symptoms men experience during this process, but Testosterone is just one piece of the puzzle.

Our program addresses far more than testosterone. Our comprehensive testing and lab work analyzes all your health factors, from genetics to vitamin deficiencies, stress, health disease risk, and more.

The results help our physicians and experts to provide you with a personalized healthy aging plan.

With preventative medicine and hormone optimization, men can improve their energy, sex drive, sleep, sexual function, and lean body weight while losing unwanted fat while decreasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and dementia.

Most men experience a change in how they feel very quickly from when they begin treatment.

Erectile Dysfunction & Acoustic Pressure Wave Therapy (APWT): 

This breakthrough treatment is an effective alternative to oral medications, needles, or surgery for this common concern without side effects.

Erectile dysfunction has multiple causes, but one main issue is the result of poor blood flow to the erectile tissue within the penis.

AWPT uses FDA-approved technology that uses painless acoustic, or sound, pressure waves to improve circulation and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels within the penis.

In addition, The non-invasive treatment is easily administered in the office with no downtime.
