Anti-aging and longevity medicine addresses delaying the onset and reducing the risk of age-related disease. Age-related disease are illnesses that become more common after age 50 and that account for a great deal of premature death and disability. Anti-aging and longevity medicine focuses primarily on prevention of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative chronic diseases.

Successful anti-aging therapies necessitate a healthy lifestyle, including optimal low glycemic index nutrition, appropriate nutrient supplementation and the absolute need for physical exercise.  This unique field of medicine focuses on the synergy of these elements, which enhances vitality and extends our health span.  While we may or may not be able to increase longevity, we are able to prevent premature disability and death while enjoying a better quality of life.

Optimization of health is the goal in anti-aging medicine. Some goals of anti-aging medicine are:

   • Increased lean muscle mass
   • Decreased fat
   • Higher energy/stamina
