“Age Management” is a fairly new term for an old concept- “preventative medicine.” Conventional medicine is based on the “disease model” in which no interventions or treatments are undertaken until a dysfunction or disease is diagnosed. It is, in essence, a reactive approach to health.

Preventative medicine looks to head- off the disease before it gets established. It is truly a pro-active approach to health and wellness. Conventional medicine has given preventative medical practitioners the platform to start from. Preventative medicine integrates the advances (made in conventional medicine) into a comprehensive plan of health management which attempts to first identify risks to health. Then the preventative protocol would actively manage those risks to avoid or delay disease states, such as “adult onset” diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, mental / physical frailty and osteoporosis, to name a few.

Age Management Medicine integrates the well-documented benefits of exercise, a low -glycemic diet and hormone modulation to achieve optimum health. Some external signs of a successful Age Management treatment program can be:

• increased mental focus and alertness
• improved cardiovascular stamina
• improved libido
• increased muscle and bone density
