Aging
Aging [syn: ageing, senescent] n 1. Progressive loss of hormone levels leading to diminished sex drive, mood swings, fat accumulation, muscle reduction, memory loss, tiredness, bone degradation and conditions related to an aging immune system. 2. The gradual changes in the structure and function of humans and animals that occur with the passage of time, that eventually leads to the increased probability of death as the person grows older as well as poor quality of life.
The Problem
At twenty, it doesn't cross your mind. At thirty, it begins. Maybe it's a loss of energy or perhaps you notice a lack of concentration or sharpness. Things don't seem to work as well as they once did. When you look in the mirror you no longer see the same familiar person. Fat is accumulating and more difficult to lose. You find yourself getting sick more often. Your body can no longer keep pace with your spirit. While you're not exactly feeling old, you have to admit you are feeling older.
Is aging optional? Can the hands of time be turn back?
We have been led to believe that the changes that occur to our bodies with age are inevitable. In fact, many of these changes can be minimized or prevented by recent advances in the field of Anti-aging and Rejuvenation Medicine. However, anti-aging is much more then skin deep or the way we look at ourselves in the mirror. You can't achieve anti-aging through a skin cream, a super fruit or protein drink, a piece of fitness equipment, or even a vitamin pill (not yet, at least). True anti-aging medicine involves a regimen incorporating multiple elements of scientific based age-reversal medical interventions administered under the guidance of a trained anti-aging physician or health professional. It is the medical science of incorporating bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), proper nutrition and exercise in an individuals' daily health regime.
Once you come to the realization that it is never too late to feel and look young, and once you start working towards improving your health, your quality of life greatly improves and with this improved quality of life, comes longevity. This is the mindset of Infinite Vitality where we believe "aging is optional". Our 60 and 70 years old patients exercise regularly, eat right, and supplement with bio-identical hormones and pharmaceutical grade nutriceuticals. They feel great and are active like they once were where when they were much younger. Our anti-aging and rejuvenation programs have given them the potential to add 10-20 years to their lifespan and turn back there biological clocks.
It is never too late to start. Aging is as "no more than a collection of diseases and pathologies"(Klatz, Ronald, Grow Young With HGH,1997), and without a doubt, research is supporting this definition. This goes for everything from a rise in glucose, increase in blood pressure, increase in cholesterol, decrease metabolism and increased risk factors for age related diseases (ex. heart disease, cancer, Atzheimers and osteoporosis). Aging also has a lot to do with the more visually noticeable things such as increased fat and decreased lean muscle, thin skin, increase depression and anxiety. These are all side effects of aging, and can be prevented, controlled, and reversed through diet, exercise, and replenishing and optimizing hormones as they decline with age.
AGING = low hormones = increase risk factors for age related diseases
At Infinite Vitality we utilize the medical science of hormone replacement therapy as the avenue to give back to the body what we lose that as we age: bringing hormone levels back to where to they once were when we felt and looked our best (the biological levels of a mid twenty year old). Think of aging has a domino effect. Low Growth Hormone (HGH) , low Testosterone, low DHEA, high and low cortisol, low and unbalanced progesterone and estrogen cause decreased energy and poor well-being in both men and women. With a decrease in energy, there will be a decrease in activity, and the body will begin to deteriorate.
LOW HORMONES = decreased energy = decreased activity = poor well -being = poor quality of life
Both men and women go threw many physical, mental and emotional changes as they age. In Women the changes are called menopause and in men it is called andropause. Recent articles in mainstream medical and research journals, have implicated poor nutrition, lack of exercise and loss of hormones or hormone deficiencies as the main reason that we age. We that specialize in Anti-aging and Rejuvenation Medicine know that our hormones define whether we are healthy or ill and whether we feel young or old.
While there are many different options available to look, feel, and act younger; it is important that you choose a physician who can craft a customized program that fits your health needs and desires. For almost an entire decade, Infinite Vitality has been improving the quality of lives of hundreds of patients.
