| What is Age Management Medicine? |
Age Management Medicine is based on the concept that there is sufficient medical evidence that we can improve the quality of life by delaying the onset of the signs and symptoms associated with aging.
The large body of literature that supports this also confirms the safety and lack of side effects and complications.
As of now, we may not be able
to affect biological aging at the cellular
level or increase longevity, per se. However, the signs and symptoms of aging
can be delayed, and in some instances,
relieved and even reversed by replacing hormone levels to the levels they were in our prime (ages 25-30) with bio-identical hormones.
"In summary, we age because our hormones fall"
So don't you deserve to benefit from the most advanced medical thinking & practice available today?

Don’t you deserve to benefit from the most advanced medical thinking & practice available today?
We can enhance your youthfulness, health, and vitality through nutrition, exercise
and hormone optimization.
We have a lot to share
and we know that you are going to have questions and we do have all the answers for you.

Newest Theories of Aging
- Telomere Theory of Aging:
Loss of last telomere on DNA chain begins slow slide into aging.
- Dilman Theory:
(Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging,
Pensacola Florida Center for Bio-Gerontology, 1992);
This slow slide consists of a general decrease in the production of hormones.
So what does all this mean to you?
We can help you recapture your youth through hormone modulation for the endocrinologically
normal
by identifying hormone levels that yield superior health outcomes.

If Your Goals Are:
- Increased Muscle Mass
- Improved Memory
- Enhanced Sex Drive
- Less Body Fat
- Better Skin Tone
- More Energy
|
| Then:
Hormone modulation for the endocrinologically “normal” by identifying hormone
levels that yield superior health outcomes is for YOU!
Hormonal balance in the optimal range is key using only biologically
identical hormones.
(Upper 25% of the normal range)
What are biologically identical natural hormones?
Designer hormones of the new millennia.
Identical to what the human body makes.
Derived from natural sources (plants) or recombinately
DNA designed (Human Growth Hormone).
No side effects if taken properly and levels are kept
within normal range. Biologically Identical Hormones versus Natural Hormones.
We use only bio-identical hormones because they truly replace the
hormones lost through the aging process with the exact replicas of the same molecules
that the human body produces. We do not simply substitute with
synthetics which can potentially cause harmful side effects and ultimately do
little good. |

How long you live may be determined for the most part by your genes, however
we can make a powerful impact on how well you live for as long as you live.

Or, you could take Prozac . . .
Not only is reduced
hormone production
tied to physical well
being . . .there are implications
for mental health
as well!
Or maybe Effexor could be used to mask the symptoms of aging . . .
But why merely
mask symptoms . . .
why not deal with
a contributing cause?
Hormone replacement is not a new theory . . .
In the 1930’s Dr. Serge Voronoff conducted investigative hormone replacement research. In 1966 Dr. Robert Wilson wrote a best-seller extolling the virtues of estrogen replacement.
A recent study ranked drugs prescribed in the USA:
- PREMARIN (an estrogen)
- SYNTHROID (thyroid)
PROVERA was the #1 progestational agent.
Trouble with all 3 is that they are not “NATURAL” to the human body—they are synthetic and are not identical to the hormones your body naturally produces.
We only use biologically identical hormones because they actually replace the
hormones lost in the aging process with the exact replicas of the same molecules
that the human body produces. We do not simply substitute with
synthetic agents which can produce potentially harmful side effects and do
little good. |

About Hormone Replacement Therapy
|
The key is biologically identical
hormones.

|
Bio-identical estrogen we use . . .
Maintains:
* Bone density.
Increases:
* Hair and nail thickness and growth.
* Emotional well being.
Decreases:
* Body fat.
* Cholesterol and heart disease risk.
* Dementia risks (75% in some studies).
Makes skin softer and more youthful.
Completely ends hot flashes.
Natural estrogens we use are identical to the three major estrogens your body
manufactures and are given in the right physiological combinations.
|
Bio-identical progesterones we use . . .
- Protect against osteoporosis, heart disease, uterine and breast cancer.
- Stop majority of female migraine headaches.
- Dramatically decrease PMS symptoms.
- Increase sexual libido dramatically.
- Offset estrogen side effects.
- Decrease body fat.
“I have started using natural progesterone
in my practice, I have seen the consistent benefits and safety of
natural progesterone therapy?” Dr. John Lee, publisher of two books
on natural progesterone and worldwide speaker on natural progesterone.
|
The Bio-identical thyroid we use . . .
- Has T4, T3 and various thyroid enzymes you need. (T3 is the active hormone)
- Our experience shows dramatic improvements in fatigue over SYNTHROID in most
patients.
- Less expensive than SYNTHROID.
- Great for Thyroid Insufficiency (low thyroid)!
- Softens skin and makes it more youthful.
- Reduces wrinkles.
- Thickens nails.
- Increases metabolic rate (increases energy).
- Powers the immune system.
- Major side effect: WEIGHT LOSS
|
|
Bio-identical testosterone we use . . .
- Cream applied daily or pellets implanted beneath the skin.
- Easy to use.
- Increases bone density.
- Increases thinking/cognitive skills.
- Increases decision making.
- Increases libido.
- Marked increase in muscle mass.
- Marked decrease in body fat.
- Increases well-being.
|
|
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Decline of blood level from adolescence to old age correlated with:
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men
- Decreased immune system function in both sexes
- Decreased insulin sensitivity
- Decreased IGF-1 levels
|
|
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Yen and Morales studies in which DHEAs replaced (to level of 20 year olds): 50 mg of DHEA for 6 months; 13 men and 17 women, aged 40-70
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Decreased fat mass (men only)
- Increased perception of psychological and physical well-being
|
|
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Yen and Morales studies on effect of DHEA on immune function showed increased
white blood cells.
Other studies showed benefits of bringing DHEA levels back to more youthful
level.
Effective in:
- Lupus
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Obesity
- Prior to vaccinations
|
| The Bio-identical DHEA we use: |

|
Melatonin
Melatonin is "biological clock" produced by pineal gland
* Gland receives direct input from eyes; knows what day and night cycles are
* Released in spurts at night to initiate sleep
* Taking pill at bedtime can effectively alleviate jet lag
* By age 60, most people produce less than 50% of melatonin than at age 20
* Cenegenics recommends that patients take melatonin regularly at bedtime
starting
at age 40 and increase dose as needed as they get older
* Maintains youthful vigor
* Enhances sexual vitality
* Strengthens immune system
* Is a potent antioxidant
* Protects against stress
* Protects against cancer
* Prevents heart disease
* Restores normal sleep patterns
* Cures jet lag
