Q. Can we actually manage aging?

A. Hmmm…That’s a complex question. So, let me answer it with a rather standard cliché: There’s the good news, bad news and worse news. Worst news—we’re all going to die. Sorry, but it’s a fact of the natural order of things. The bad news? Along the way we may develop some disabilities, slow down, and possibly have some medical problems.

Now, for the good news. We are, for the most part, in control of how we age. Disallow­ing for such adversities as; accidents, diseases, or genetic determinates—the quality of life you have and the length of time in which you have to live it are a matter of choice.

Many of the choices for living a better quality of life are taught to us by society or our parents: Wear a seat belt when you ride in a car; Don’t drink and drive; Don’t smoke; Eat more vegetables and less candy—the list goes on.

But, many of these choices are not so easy to make, requiring non-traditional lab testing and finding a doctor specializing in Age Manage­ment Medicine. For instance, it may be difficult to determine that your painful, swollen joints or chronic migraine headaches are a result of a food sensitivity or that your depression is caused by one simple genetic defect of folate metabolism; or that your memory, balance problem and fuzzy brain is a result of mercury toxicity; or that your lack of desire for sex and love is a result of low testosterone (women as much as men, by the way).

So, one could just lament about getting older, remembering the days when you and your spouse were fiery for life and love or you can make changes. The most important change you will need to make is to find a doctor who specializes in Age Management, one that can guide you along the way; run the appropriate tests for hormones, nutritional deficiencies, tox­ins, and genomics; and then partner with you on developing a plan for recovery. By acquiring the necessary information, you, too, can make the right choices and actually manage your aging.

The 4 Cornerstones of Health

The Renewal Point Age Management Program focuses on four, critical “Cornerstones of Health” that turn your age management jour­ney into a refreshing discovery of new health and perspective.

They are:

Hormone Balance—Hormone Balance, as it turns out, is the most critical component to overall health and quality of life. With a skilled approach to testing, and treatment with bio-identical hormones, your hormones can be placed in balance to support every gland and function critical to health.

Physical Conditioning— Physical condi­tioning is more than a health club membership. Considering your body composition, strength, flexibility, bone strength, aerobic capacity and muscle and joint health a proper and—most importantly—doable program can be designed into your life routine.

Nutritional Health—Did you eat your vegetables today? Sure, everyone knows that diet is a key to good health, but how do you know if your balance supports your unique metabolism—or whether or not you have a nu­tritional deficiency or sensitivity to any of your favorite foods and the implications they may be having on your long-term health? The only way to know for sure is with proper testing and expert guidance.

Toxin Elimination—Frightening but true: over seven billion pounds of toxins are released into the environment every year…and are filtered through or contained in our bodies! The source of many known diseases, toxicity can be limited or eliminated with proper guidance and a natural approach.

Of course, no concierge Age Management Program would be complete without attention paid to the major systems of our bodies, including but not limited to: a healthy immune system, the metabolic system, the cardiopulmonary system, the neurological system, the skin system, and the reproductive system.  Why not let The Renewal Point’s team of experts guide you through an Integrative Conceirge Age Management Program and discover how you can manage your aging process better.
