Anti-Aging Programs:
Knowledge -- Prevention -- Rejuvenation
Our Anti-Aging programs utilize a
three-pronged approach: Firstly, we equip the patient
with the knowledge that is required to take
charge of their health and achieve optimal well-being.
Secondly, we focus on disease prevention
by providing a thorough evaluation using comprehensive
diagnostics and the information provided on the patient's
health history form. And finally, we work with patients
to implement a rejuvenation program that
consists of various science-based treatments that reduce
cellular degeneration, promote tissue regeneration and
healing as well as slow down the aging process. We do
NOT replace the role of the family physician,
instead we work with primary care physicians, internists
and other medical professionals to provide the optimum
in integrated care.
We consider each and every individual as
physiologically unique, and we do not subscribe to a "one
size fits all" approach. Our programs focus on a
customized approach that will address risk factors that,
if avoided or modified, could have beneficial effects
for reducing the incidence of and premature mortality
from the leading chronic conditions. Our vision is to
provide the latest in scientifically-validated therapies
for reversing the aging process, preventing chronic disease
and optimizing health.
The three core services that comprise our
Anti-Aging Program are listed and further described below:
Anti-Aging Medical Assessment:
The assessment begins with a one hour initial consultation
that includes a thorough review of the patient's past
medical history, family history, lifestyle choices, nutritional
intake and present symptoms. A comprehensive work-up is
ordered which may include blood testing, saliva testing
and hair or urinary analysis. A follow-up appointment
is scheduled to review test results and institute a personalized
treatment plan. Treatment regimens may incorporate bioidentical
hormone therapy (BHRT), nutritional supplements, herbal
therapies, diet, exercise and lifestyle changes all designed
to help to optimize the patient's health, well-being and
longevity. Depending upon the age and medical condition
of each patient, referrals are provided for tests such
as ECG & exercise tolerance tests, prostate, testicular
and pelvic ultrasound tests, colonoscopies, mammograms,
bone density testing, and others. Blood and saliva testing
are repeated frequently to help ensure that the hormones
stay in optimum balance.
The traditional medical practice typically focuses on
diagnosing disease and prescribing a pharmaceutical intervention
for the disease. Our Anti-Aging Medical Assessment is
designed to focus on the patient's individual risk factors,
the root of the disease process and the implementation
of science-based programs that are focused on disease
prevention. To learn more about

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Our BHRT is designed to treat Individuals who suffer from
PMS, menopausal symptoms, andropausal symptoms, loss of
sex drive, chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression,
headaches, weight gain, persistent pain, or many other
common conditions associated with hormone imbalance. We
use FDA approved bioidentical hormones whenever possible;
however, when a dosage or strength that the patient requires
is not commercially available, we use a compounding pharmacy
to prepare an individualized prescription. Our BHRT program
provides many benefits including:
- Restored hormone balance and relief
of related symptoms
- Improved heart health
- Increased bone production and prevention
of osteoporosis
- Enhanced energy and sex drive
- Reduced wrinkles and improved skin
tone
- Improved mental sharpness and better
memory

Metabolic
Rejuvenation Program
Through our MRP, we provide patients
with the knowledge, coaching, monitoring and motivation
to make changes in nutrition, stress management, and exercise
levels. Additionally, the program leverages leading edge
natural products to stimulate the metabolism and support
weight loss. The program is designed for individuals that
range from normal weight to the slightly or moderately
overweight. When indicated, we use prescription weight
loss medications and we do regularly monitor body composition
in addition to total weight. Although the program is tailored
to each individual’s needs, it typically includes:
- Use of natural products that help to jump start your
metabolism, burn more calories and reduce body fat
- Meal plan recommendations that focus
on low-glycemic-index meals and fully support the Metabolic
Rejuvenation Program
- Nutritional supplementation
- Body composition testing
- Incorporating appropriate levels
of physical activity/exercise

Pricing
for Anti-Aging Programs
The physician fee for the initial
consultation is $425.00. Patients have two choices for
follow-up visits. Individual visits are $275 per visit.
However, for patients that are on BHRT or otherwise require
continuing monitoring, we require one of our annual Health
Assured Programs. The Health Assured Programs include
quarterly/semi-annual office visits, email consultations
and phone consultations as needed for the first year and
range from $775 to $1,475 depending on the number of hormones
being monitored and the complexity of the patient's treatment
program. After the first year, the nature and pricing
of the followup program is on a case by base basis. In
addition, it is recommended that all patients commit to
a nutritional supplementation program. Click

supplements.
