Internal Anti-Aging and Disease Prevention

Our services involve the creation and implementation of individualized programs based on:

A given patient's personal objectives such as "more energy, less body fat, better memory, less risk for heart disease, cancer, or Alzheimer's, etc." A questionnaire is provided that includes 20+ objectives to determine which are most pertinent.
A comprehensive history, physical examination, and assessment of lifestyle which can significantly influence the creation and successful implementation of our programs.
An extensive battery of laboratory tests that far exceeds conventional checkups and includes blood counts, blood chemistries, lipid profiles, comprehensive hormonal assays, cardiac risk factors such as homocysteine and CRP, and Insulin levels. Additional assessments may include oxidative stress, important minerals, vitamin D level, Natural Killer cell assessment, heavy metals, food allergies, and red blood cell essential fatty acids. DEXA (bone density evaluation), Pet scans, immune system analyses, and gene profiling can be ordered depending upon individual needs and desires.
NuEx® -- our nutrition and exercise lab -- performs an assessment of the patient's nutritional status (quantity and quality of macro and micronutrients), aerobic capacity, strength, flexibility, and body composition.

A patient may choose to limit evaluation depending upon his/her needs. Our Gold Program includes the basic but most important tests. The Platinum Program adds more advanced tests depending upon individual needs. At the end of this comprehensive evaluation, and in partnership with the patient, an Anti-Aging and Disease Prevention program is created which is practical for the patient, and therefore has a high chance of success. Individualized programs usually include:

Stepwise implementation of a patient-specific nutrition & exercise programs
Basic Vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids
Total hormonal balance in a careful stepwise fashion
Targeted supplements depending upon individual needs. For example, to increase muscle strength or mass, decrease body fat, decrease insulin resistance or homocysteine, improve heart function or brain health and function, reduce risk of heart attack or stroke, reduce risk of breast or prostate cancer, etc.
Pharmaceuticals only if necessary
Assistance with smoking cessation or stress reduction if necessary
A follow up with defined goals

We also offer a Mini-H program to evaluate and balance sex hormones in women using only natural bio-identical hormones. Our patients are relieved of common symptoms of PMS and menopause and often lose weight.
