Inevitably, the body goes through a natural aging process.
However, when you understand physiological aging, you are empowered to slow down and even reverse some of these processes.
The Natural Aging Process
- Oxidation – Oxidative damage can expedite the effects of aging. Antioxidants are reducing agents that reverse the oxidative damage that comes with aging.
- Inflammation – Aging is a degenerative process that’s closely correlated with long-term inflammation. By reducing or alleviating inflammation, your body can focus its attention on rest and repair.
- Hormone Decline – As we age, the amount of hormones produced in our bodies changes. In many cases, our hormone production decreases, and our hormones metabolize much slower. Sometimes, our bodies can produce the same amount of hormone necessary for general metabolic function, but at slower rates. By nurturing our hormones, we’re setting ourselves up for a youthful future.
- Nutrient Deficiencies – Recent research demonstrates that as we age, our ability to absorb and utilize nutrients becomes less efficient, and our nutrient requirements increase.
Ensuring Graceful Aging
- Natural Antioxidants are nutrients that reverse the oxidation aging process. Examples include CoQ10, Resveratrol, and Hawthorn Berry.
- Natural Anti-Inflammatories are nutrients that reverse inflammation. Examples include Turmeric, Essential Fatty Acids (fish oil), and Rosemary.
- Natural Hormone Replacement replenishes hormone deficiencies and can come in the form of creams, lozenges, injections, or pellets.
- Nutrient Replenishment of specific deficiencies is key to slowing the aging process. Conducting labs to determine deficiencies is integral to anti-aging medicine.
- Natural Aesthetics can help with the regeneration and maintenance of youthful-looking skin. When you feel good, it shines through!
