What is Anti-Aging/Regenerative/Functional Medicine?
The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine was founded in 1997 and is now the fastest growing medical subspecialty with over 14,000 health professional members worldwide.
This clinical specialty emphasizes early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related physiological decline. As the average life expectancy of our population increases, it is imperative to focus on health maintenance and disease prevention as opposed to treating disease after it has already occurred. The treatment approach is patient centered rather than disease focused.
Through a scientifically based, integrative health care approach, individually tailored interventions are designed to restore physiological, psychological, and structural balance thereby allowing treatment of illness and promotion of wellness in a more physiologically sound manner.
Special attention is paid to environmental and genetic factors influencing health and disease, and intervention is aimed at lifestyle modification and optimization of physiological function to treat the cause of the problem and not mask symptoms with inappropriate or unnecessary pharmaceutical interventions.
All therapy is based on evidence based medicine and is well documented by peer reviewed medical and scientific journals.
