In this newsletter, I would like to share information with you that can assist you in living your best life possible. Self education is the key to improvement. Your health is your greatest asset. Each day you either build your health or produce disease in yourself.

What is Age Management Medicine?
 
Preventive /Regenerative Medicine

Age Management Medicine or Preventive/Regenerative Medicine is the field of Medicine that examines the scientific research of what causes illness, what causes aging and what causes the decline in physical and mental function as we age.

Age Management Medicine or Preventive/ Regenerative Medicine offers patients individualized plans to decrease biological age-the age that you look and feel.It offers an improved quality of life and not just a longer life.

Age Management Medicine or Preventive/Regenerative Medicine looks at internal causes for treating and preventing external symptoms.

It is preventive medicine that works to change the process of aging in men and women over the age of 35.

It works to prevent many of the mental and physical losses associated with aging.

It helps patients maintain the highest mental and physical function possible for as long as they are alive.

The primary goal is to improve health and well being.


Will you be the same by the end of the year?

Einstein said it best : "There are two ways to view the world- as if everything is a miracle or as if nothing is a miracle." Our body is constantly renewing itself and literally creating itself anew from our genetic blueprint called DNA.

Do you think the skin that you have right now is the same as you had last month?

No. Your skin cells completely replace themselves every 28 days.

Do you think the bones that you have right now are the same that you had when your were growing up?

No. All of your bone cells are renewed every 90 days.

Do you think the cells that make up your heart are the same ones that you had last month?

No. Every cell of your heart replaces itself every 30 days.

Do you think the cells that make up your lungs now are the same as the ones that you had last year?

No. The lungs replace their cells every 70 days.

In only one year, your body is 98 per cent renewed.

What kind of body will you have by the end of the year? Will it be healthier and stronger than the one that you have now? Will you allow disease to take over your body?
