testimonial

Anti-Aging Medicine is the newest and fastest growing clinical medical specialty focusing on "optimum wellness and longevity" via very aggressive preventative health care far beyond cholesterol testing and mammograms. A profound paradigm shift in the way the medical establishment views aging and age-related disease is now underway. Doctors of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (4AM) believe that by utilizing advanced technologies available today, the average individual can increase the quantity and quality of the human lifespan by 20 - 30 or more youthful, healthy, productive years. Physicians practicing Anti-Aging Medicine seek to extend the human lifespan by limiting the period of illness and disability at the end of one's life, while extending the healthy and virile middle years.

Anti-Aging Medicine encompasses: lifestyle; hormone replacement therapies, (as determined by a physician through laboratory testing): antioxidants and vitamin supplements to reduce free radical damage; and clinical testing protocols which can measure not only hormone levels and blood chemistry, but can even analyze the critical metabolic factors that control life itself, right down to the cellular level.
