What is Age Management Medicine?
How does one diagnose chronic unresolved symptoms?
Answer: Age-Management Medicine is a proactive, preventative approach to healthcare for an aging population focused on the preservation of optimum human function and quality of life making every effort to modulate the process of aging prior to the onset of degenerative aging.
The basic tenets of Age Management Medicine are patient evaluation through extensive medical history, lifestyle assessment, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation to establish personalized proactive treatment plans consisting of proper diet, exercise, stress management, and appropriate medical interventions, including smoking cessation and hormone optimization.
LongevityMed understands the diagnosis of chronic unresolved symptoms can be managed with proper low glycemic diets without “dieting”, hormone replacement, and proper nutraceuticals of supplements. Lifestyle modification can be integrated to allow anyone to reach goals of overall health and wellness not achieved through general medicine.
Conditions such as high blood pressure, reflux (GERD), diabetes, inflammatory conditions, depression, seizure disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and chronic pain are chronic, unresolved disorders that are often managed by treating just the symptoms and not the cause.
Do not rely on prescription medication and general medicine to find the root of illness. You can usually find the cause of illness in your biochemistry. The traditional old model of medicine no longer works for a myriad of unresolved symptoms.
Our bodies are designed to run for a long time. Symptoms are a way for your body to communicate in a way that demands treatment or repair. Treating just symptoms and not the cause will allow these issues to continue indefinitely. Quality of life is diminished.
Joint pain is often just called arthritis. Has your general medicine physician ever recommended large doses of turmeric (curcumin), combined with an anti-inflammatory diet? Irritable bowel syndrome and reflux are signals for dietary changes that correct the cause. A diagnosis code is used for billing insurance companies, not for treatment.
Treating symptoms and not the cause allows more unnecessary testing and trial of more prescription medications. Your unique biological matrix can be positively changed by adopting a low glycemic diet, hormone optimization, and appropriate nutraceuticals.
LongevityMed understands functional medicine. Your body functions should be put back in place without multiple prescription medications.
