Evaluating
A comprehensive assessment of your health, lifestyle, and medical history to identify potential factors contributing to the aging process.

Testing

Assessing aging biomarkers, oxidative stress levels, inflammation markers, and hormonal levels.
Genetic testing to identify potential genetic factors that influence the aging process.
Imaging techniques like skin analysis, bone density scans, and body composition assessments may be used to evaluate age-related changes in various tissues and organs.
Treating
Treatments can vary widely depending on your needs, health status, and desired outcomes. These may include:
Medical interventions such as hormone replacement therapy, antioxidants, supplements, and other medications targeted at specific aging- related processes.

Top five things you can start today to help slow the aging process:
-
Maintain a healthy diet: A balanced diet that is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can help to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules that can accelerate aging. Eat fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
-
Stay physically active: Regular exercise has numerous health benefits. Exercise can help to maintain muscle mass, improve cardiovascular health, increase bone density, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Aim for cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises.
-
Get enough sleep: Quality sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. During sleep, your body undergoes processes for cellular repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
-
Protect your skin from sun damage: Sun exposure can cause damage to your skin, including premature aging. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen with a high SPF, and seeking shade when the sun is at its strongest. Additionally, avoid tanning beds, which can also accelerate skin aging.
-
Manage stress: Chronic stress can have negative effects on your physical and mental health. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as practicing mindfulness, deep breathing, exercising, or engaging in activities you enjoy. Consider seeking support from a mental health professional if you're struggling with stress or other emotional challenges.
