ANTI-AGING
Blood tests to detect low or excess levels of certain hormones, high cholesterol, analysis doa thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogens, melatonin, amount of nutrients in the blood system , all of this is part of the day-to-day of preventive anti-aging medicine, based specifically on the early detection of diseases, prevention of aging and slimming, well-being and rejuvenation treatments.
90% of diseases in adults are a consequence of the degeneration process caused by aging. This includes both aesthetic conditions such as weight gain, wrinkles and furrows, as well as heart disease, cancers, _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_diabetes, obesity, chronic stress, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, glaucoma and Alzheimer's. And that's where Preventive Medicine comes in and the treatments offered in clinics like MEDICALSTETIC practices already recognized and used by a public that believes that prevention is the best medicine.
It all starts from the age of 30, when men and women start to experience difficulty in losing weight, decrease their disposition and energy to exercise, lose their body functional capacity and immunity.
“We all know that it's really hard to stay fit and look young without exercise. However, over time, it takes a "little push" in energy to follow a weight loss program and that is exactly what Preventive Medicine does”.
ANTI-AGING | PREVENTIVE MEDICINE: WHAT IS IT?
Prolonging the quality of life is one of the main objectives of our society.
The health of each of us is the result of the choices we have made throughout our lives; it is the sum of what has been our experience until today. Our mother's health during our pregnancy, the medication taken, the diet we had, the chemicals we were exposed to, the genes we carry, stress, environmental pollution, interpersonal relationships, the physical exercise we we practice and other factors created our current state of health.
Health is determined by what our genes “tell” our cells to do. It is now known that our lifestyle has a tremendous impact on our genes, on gene expression. Thus, as the one that determined, in a way, our predisposition to diseases, our lifestyle can make the difference between them developing or not.
In order, over the years, not to lose our physical and mental abilities, we must find the lifestyle that is most convenient for our health, in order to give quality and vitality to our long years of existence.
“Giving Life to Years and Years to Life”
WHO IS THE ANTI-AGING CONSULTATION FOR?
The Anti-Aging program is aimed at all people over 35 years of age who, despite the passing of the years, want to:
feeling young and letting that youth show through in your physical appearance; keeping your physical and intellectual abilities in excellent shape; optimizing your health, preventing cardiovascular, tumor, osteo-articular, neurodegenerative diseases, among others.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ANTI-AGING PROGRAM?
On a mental/cognitive level:
improves intellectual performance: memory, ability to concentrate, speed of reasoning; improves symptoms related to the decline of hormones in general (irritability, sadness, depression, among others), with emphasis on male and female sex hormones ( decreased sexual desire, for example); it increases vitality and a general sense of well-being.
At the physical level:
improves physical symptoms related to hormonal decline, especially male and female sex hormones (menopause / andropause): combats fatigue, vaginal dryness, impotence, loss of muscle and bone mass, decreased physical abilities, loss of elasticity and hydration of the skin, among others; improves physical condition, increasing muscle tone and mass, flexibility and reflexes; decreases the percentage of fat mass; increases cellular repair and revitalization processes, reducing the factors that influence cell aging; decreases the risk of various diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and oncological ones; improves the body's defenses against diseases generally.
STUDY / EVALUATION PROGRAM
It begins with a thorough collection of the clinical history, followed by a series of detailed exams, covering several parameters related to aging:
biological age assessment;
study of body composition;
assessment of the gastrointestinal system and digestive function;
assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory functions;
study of the musculoskeletal system;
psychological, brain/cognitive study;
cancer screening;
laboratory tests:
biochemical/metabolic study;
hormonal study: female and male hormonal profile, adrenal and thyroid hormones, etc.)
tumor markers;
cardiovascular risk markers;
study of food intolerances (eg A200);
detailed study of the intestinal flora (eg "Intestinal Dysbiosis");
fatty acid profile;
vitamin profile, mineral,...;
study of heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, lead,...);
brainscreen and neurotransmitter profile (melatonin, dopamine precursors, serotonin, noradrenaline genetic studies: nutrigenetics and anti-aging (relative risk of developing certain pathologies such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc.);
others...
After carrying out all the exams, a personalized profile of each individual's aging is obtained, from which the areas on which treatment should be focused are highlighted;
TREATMENT
After performing all the exams, a personalized profile of each individual's aging is obtained, from which the areas on which treatment should be focused are highlighted.
Based on these elements, a treatment plan is developed, elaborated in close dialogue with the patient and “made to measure”, that is, as personalized as possible.
The intervention areas of anti-aging treatment are very comprehensive:
Nutritional treatment: “we are what we eat”, hence the importance of designing a nutritional program suited to the needs and health problems of each individual, in order to optimize its effects;
Administration of food supplements: anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fatty acids,... with the aim of meeting the needs of each patient, repairing the body and improving its defenses, among others;
Administration of 'bio-identical' hormones (natural hormones, with a composition very similar to human hormones: more effective and with fewer side effects), if it is necessary to restore optimal hormone levels, in order to minimize the deleterious effects of their decline, with aging;
Mental exercise program to maintain good brain function, minimize the effects of stress and the deterioration of cognitive functions;
Physical exercise program, completely tailored to the physical shape, pathologies, needs and other characteristics of each individual, including, whenever possible, exercises that have been proven to contribute to increased longevity. This program is prepared, whenever possible, by an Exercise Physiologist, with the collaboration of a Personal Trainer, and in line with Nutrition, in order to optimize its results.motor recovery program: Physiotherapy.
Teaching relaxation and stress-fighting techniques.reflection on the most appropriate lifestyle to adopt, taking into account, whenever possible, the indications of the genomic study, with the aim of improving health status, preventing disease and increasing user's quality of life .
