Natural Anti-Aging:
Aging is the inevitable decline in physiologic function that occurs over time. The goal of Age-Management is to foster and promote a state of optimal or ‘graceful aging’ to preserve and extend youthful function into old age. Not to wage war on the body’s natural process. New discoveries in research and advances in technology are essential to our ability to achieve this goal in a sensible manner.
Take a look at these staggering statistics to gain a better perspective on the reality of aging and age related degenerative disease.
All diseases fall into 4 categories; the first 3 are:
- Inherited Genetic Disease
- Infectious Disease
- And Trauma
These first three account for only 10% of the cost for treating ALL disease in America.
The remaining 90% of all healthcare dollars are spent on extraordinary care in the last 2-3 years of life, a grand total of 50% of the US healthcare budget is spent on the 4th category:
- Degenerative Diseases of Aging.
These statistics are staggering. It’s quite clear that many of the lifestyle induced illness that plagues Americans today is almost entirely preventable through proper dietary and lifestyle choices. However, it’s also quite obvious that people are not making the right choices, for whatever reason, as evidenced by the tremendous amount of spending on the treatment and medical management of the degenerative diseases of aging.
One of the primary culprits in this assault on the health of Americans today is Insulin. Insulin has often been tagged as the “Accelerator of Aging” and diabetes itself a disease of Insulin dysfunction is known as a “Segmented Progeria” or accelerated aging.
Researchers in the past several decades proposes 4 chief “pillars of aging” that ultimately lead to aging, disease, and increased risk of death.
- Excess Insulin
- Excess Cortisol
- Excess Blood Sugar
- Excess Free Radicals
If we want to be successful in managing the aging process we must be aware of the problems facing the aging American population. We must be able to address these primary dysfunctions through a comprehensive and objective clinical and laboratory based program that can help guide treatment. To be successful we must seek to maximize the body’s capacity for recovery and optimal function first and foremost through sensible dietary changes and exercise.
Detailed and comprehensive clinical and laboratory testing can add tremendous value and maximize successful outcomes of a complete age management program. By addressing these vital underlying factors and retarding the progression of the aging process we can significantly reduce known risk factors and promote an optimal quality of life and capacity to function well into old age.
