Anti-aging medicine focuses on prolonging the healthy lifespan through scientifically-validated methods of early detection, prevention, and treatment of age-related disease. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable effects. Anti-aging treatments at specialized hormonal health clinics like Renew Wellness can help restore optimal hormonal balance.
Declining hormones like testosterone and growth hormone lead to concerning symptoms. As levels fall out of balance, you may experience:
In the long run, this accelerates aging and raises the risk for various diseases. Getting tested and treated can reverse symptoms and promote better health.
Experiencing multiple declining hormone symptoms merits having your levels checked via blood tests. Annual exams starting around age 30-35 can detect imbalances early.
Renew Wellness provides state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalized care. Our expert physicians interpret results taking lifestyle factors into account. We determine if treatment is warranted based on strict evidence-based protocols.
Advances in hormonal therapies provide safe, convenient options for balancing levels. Renew Wellness offers the latest innovations:
Normalizing your hormones combats symptoms while conferring anti-aging effects:
Balanced hormones let you feel and function at your best as you age.
If experiencing multiple declining hormone symptoms, and testing confirms imbalances, our physicians can determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Those who commonly benefit:
We tailor therapies to your blueprint - lifestyle, symptoms, and lab work. We re-test blood levels periodically to ensure you achieve and sustain optimal zones. Most report dramatic improvements within a few months.
Goals include alleviating deficiency symptoms while conferring protective metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological effects. Therapies also aim to help you feel more energetic, mentally sharp, and physically capable.
We provide patients with guidance on adjunctive lifestyle and nutrition strategies to maximize treatment success:
Exercise - Activity preserves muscle, bone density, and cardiovascular fitness. Both aerobic and strength training are key. We recommend 150 minutes weekly of moderate exercise along with 2-3 strength sessions.
Diet - Emphasizing anti-inflammatory whole foods high in antioxidants protects health. These include fruits, vegetables, omega-3s from fish/nuts/seeds, high-fiber carbs, plant proteins, and healthy fats like olive oil. Stay hydrated and minimize sugar, refined grains, and processed foods.
Stress management - Chronic stress raises cortisol, which works against healthy hormone balance. Relaxation practices like meditation, yoga, massage, and good sleep give hormones an assist.
Supplements - We may recommend supplements as needed to provide raw materials for optimal hormone production or boost overall wellness. These may include vitamins D3 and B, magnesium, zinc, adaptogens like ashwagandha, etc.
Avoid toxins - Limit exposure to endocrine disruptors that impair hormonal health - substances like BPA plastics, phthalates, parabens, lead, mercury, and pesticides.
Check-in regularly - Follow-up appointments allow us to ensure your continuing success on treatment. We can make dosage adjustments and give updated guidance as needed over time. Consistency is key.
