Health - the science of aging and anti-aging
As Suzanne Somers stated in her wellness book Breakthrough: "We not only want to live longer, we also want quality of life."
Put the diet soda down and pick up a water. Diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer and respiratory as well as conditions that magnify and promote diseases such as obesity, are some of the leading causes of death in the United States today. The irony is that the illnesses and diseases that are killing us, are also some of the most preventable diseases and conditions when nutrition, fitness and hormones are optimized.
Beginning as early as our thirties, certain hormones diminish, creating an imbalance that can set off everything from perimenopasue to cancer.
Today's age management medicine practiced by Ageology physicians gives breakthrough medical insight into the different "pauses" that happen in the human body and how it is possible to actually stop these pauses , reverse them while also avoiding diseases, conditions and sickness.
