PREVENTATIVE AGING CONSULTATION Q & A

What Does Preventative Aging Mean?

When we talk about preventative aging, our emphasis is on slowing down the aging process by TREATING THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THE DISEASE. Traditional medicine focuses on addressing illnesses as they arise and prescribing medicine to control the symptoms. While this may make the patient feel better by alleviating the symptoms, make no mistake that the patient still suffers from the underlying disease because the root cause has not been treated. While prescription drugs have a place in medicine and are mandatory for some patients, they often have side effects that are treated with more prescription drugs. In the long run, more and more prescription drugs are given to patients to mask the original disease and its ensuing side effects.

Board-certified physician Dr. Jeffrey Lai uses the best of traditional and preventive medicine by first identifying the underlying causes of your health issues and then treating the specific physiological and biochemical causes of disease and disorders. By adding preventative aging medicine to the equation, Dr. Lai hopes to IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH ON A CELLULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL LEVEL so that your body performs optimally without the need for unnecessary prescription medicines.

Research shows our synergistic whole-life approach helps individuals restore and maintain optimal health so they live well longer. Dr. Lai keeps your health on course, tracking progress, reviewing test results, discussing examinations and determining adjustments to your personal program along the way.

As a result, you enjoy youthful aging, optimizing vitality, vigor and a higher quality of life – with improved cognitive functions, enhanced libido, lean body mass, decreased body fat, better skin tone, improved cholesterol, a stronger immune system, and healthier bones.

Each birthday we celebrate is another year added to our chronological age. It is a fixed number that indicates how many years we have lived and there is no way to reverse it. Your biological age, on the other hand, is a measurement of your body’s health and performance and is more important that your chronological age.

Your biological age reveals how healthy your body is and may be influenced by genetics but also heavily impacted by external factors such as diet, sleep, exercise, and stress. By managing these external factors, we can effectively treat symptoms of aging and improve your overall health. Your chronological age is a fixed number. Your biological age and the number of years you can feel and live optimally is not.
