Due to the emergence of Anti-Aging Medicine, it is no longer necessary to accept the mental and physical decline associated with aging. A century ago the average life expectancy was 43 to 47. Today, life expectancy has almost doubled, due mostly to advances in medicine and technology. The rapid rate of these advances may put one in a position to take advantage of cutting-edge technologies in the pipeline, such as genetic engineering, stem cell transplants, therapeutic cloning, nanotechnology, and artificial organs. However, a longer life span is only desirable if living longer means living stronger, healthier, and without disabilities.
This is the premise of Anti-Aging Medicine. It is also known as
Preventive-Regenerative Medicine is a new specialty of health care based on early detection, prevention, and reversal of the degenerative effects of aging. The primary goal is living healthier for a longer period of time.
The Anti-Aging specialty began in 1993 when twelve forward-thinking physicians formed the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (also known as A4M). Today, the Academy is composed of 20,000 physicians and scientists from over 100 countries. It is the fastest-growing scientific society in the world. The Academy is devoted to examining scientific research pertaining to:
The principles of Preventive-Regenerative Medicine are well documented in medical and scientific journals. In addition, they are based on sound and responsible medical care. While traditional medicine focuses on treating the effects of the aging process, Anti-Aging Medicine focuses on treating or preventing the causes of aging. Stated differently, traditional medicine predominately treats external symptoms that have internal causes. On the contrary, Anti-Aging Medicine addresses the internal causes in order to prevent external symptoms. The different approach may sound subtle. That being said, it can produce substantial differences in a person’s health and well-being.
As an Anti-Aging clinic in Torrance, CA, you might be wondering what modalities we use. In order to deliver our anti-aging medicine, Dr. Judi Goldstone uses a combination of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Testosterone Treatment, Peptides and more. In addition, Dr. Goldstone’s weight loss and medical weight loss departments help people with diet needs.
You have to understand that the functional medicine and anti-aging models follow a holistic protocol. That means that the body is treated as a whole. On the contrary in traditional medicine, you would have to see a rheumatologist for the obscure autoimmune system, a gastrologist for gut issues and so on and so forth. This presents a multitude of problems. For one, each doctor is zeroed in on one part of the body they are trained to be so-called experts in. Thus, they fail to take into account if the gastrointestinal issues are merely a symptom of the main issue or root cause. What you have is a domino effect of failing to follow best practices. If you are suffering from acid reflux, IBS or any sort of gut ailment, the Gastroenterologists might prescribe something like Prevacid. This medication has the potential to disrupt the balance of digestive juices in your gut. Thus creating the potential that can lead to further, more serious health problems. The protocol when you have a more serious condition calls for either more prescription drugs or even surgery which compromises your system forever.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the meat and potatoes of what we do. Depending on your goals, needs and ailments, a proper bioidentical hormone program can change your life. By optimizing your hormone levels, you can treat energy, fatigue, chronic pain and more.
