A regenerative approach to maintaining function as you age involves addressing various aspects of health comprehensively and proactively with the latest regenerative technologies.
As we age, maintaining our body's function becomes increasingly important. With the regenerative approach, we can focus on optimizing various aspects of our health to ensure that we can enjoy a high quality of life for as long as possible. At Medical Transformation Center, we focus on regenerative technologies and curate treatments targeted toward your individual needs.
Our hormone levels can decline with age, affecting a wide range of bodily functions. By seeking to optimize cellular function, integrative cellular and regenerative medicine specialists can help people support their body's natural mechanisms to regulate hormone production. This can sometimes be enough to re-balance hormones to ideal levels, especially in men. If this is not possible, we also use personalized, nuanced bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help restore balance and vitality. BHRT in conjunction with a comprehensive lifestyle, diet, supplementation and peptide therapy plan can be a beneficial regenerative approach to maintaining function as you age.
As women age, their bodies undergo changes including a decline in sex hormone production. This can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido. Many women use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to alleviate these symptoms. BHRT can effectively reduce symptoms associated with menopause and other hormonal imbalances, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. It can also help prevent bone loss and fractures in women with osteoporosis.
BHRT has positive effects on mental health, including improvements in mood, concentration, and overall well-being. It also helps prevent cognitive decline and reduces the risk of developing conditions such as dementia. These benefits make BHRT a valuable option for women dealing with perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms and hormonal imbalances.
As men age, their hormone levels, particularly testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), naturally decline. This decrease often starts in men's early 30s and becomes more noticeable by their mid-40s. There is also often another significant drop around age 50. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men include reduced libido and performance, mental fog, decreased energy, reduced muscle mass, bone loss, depression, and weight gain.
Men should always seek to support their body to produce adequate testosterone naturally before resorting to BHRT. This is because once men begin replacing testosterone, their natural mechanisms to manufacture it decline even more. If necessary, reintroducing bioidentical testosterone can alleviate symptoms of low testosterone in men and serve as a relief and preventive measure against hormonal imbalances. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) must be tailored to each individual's needs, leading to faster and more effective results.At MTC, we have a variety of lifestyle and regenerative tools to facilitate men's bodies to modulate low-T.
Overtime, our bodies undergo changes that can affect our overall health and well-being. One of the most common concerns is the loss of muscle mass and strength due to aging. Maintaining mobility is crucial for independence and overall well-being as you age. Falling is one of the key indicators of death due to any cause as people age. EmSculpt Neo is a cutting-edge treatment that can help improve muscle tone and strength, allowing for better mobility, and overall reducing accelerated aging. It improves balance, proprioception, bone density and more!
EmculptNeo is a non-invasive treatment that eliminates fat cells and promotes muscle growth through targeted muscle contractions. On average, patients experience a 30% reduction in fat and a 25% increase in muscle after completing their series of treatments. This device is designed to comprehensively strengthen muscles in a way that goes beyond traditional exercise, benefiting areas such as the core, quads, and other large muscle groups. By strengthening the core, tt can improve ambulatory ability, posture, balance, and stability, making it an excellent choice for jump-starting recovery and promoting functional improvement in various conditions like knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain, scoliosis, hip pain, injuries, surgeries, degenerative conditions like Muscular Dystrophy and general age-related muscular decline. It can also be used on large muscle groups like legs and arms after injury or surgery.
As you get older, maintaining bladder control and sexual health become increasingly important. Emsella offers a non-invasive solution for both men and women, targeting the entire pelvic floor to treat incontinence and improve sexual function. This innovative technology strengthens pelvic floor muscles, providing significant benefits for urinary control and even reducing issues like erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness. The discreet, fully clothed treatments make it easy to prioritize your health without disrupting your daily routine. By choosing Emsella, you can proactively support your overall well-being as you age, promoting a more active, confident, and fulfilling lifestyle.
People can often experience a decline in cognitive function in age, with memory and attention being the most commonly affected areas. This decline in cognitive function can impact our daily lives and lead to a decreased quality of life. So, what can be done to slow down or even reverse age-related cognitive decline? Promising avenues of research include the use of IV and peptide treatments, along with various supplements, and lifestyle changes.
In humans, BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels have been found to decline with age, which may contribute to age-related cognitive decline. Some peptides have been shown to have neuroprotective effects, which can help shield the brain from damage and promote healthy brain function. Peptide treatments that increase BDNF levels have shown promise in improving cognitive function in older adults. One such peptide has demonstrated in recent studies a promising ability to support the growth and maintenance of neurons, thereby improving memory and cognitive function in animal studies.
Certain supplements can play a key role in supporting our overall health and well-being. From essential vitamins and minerals to specific targeted supplements, they can help fill in any nutritional gaps. We offer various supplements to help with cognitive health, but we also offer supplements for all aspects of your health to maintain function as you age. From aiding your gut microbiome health to muscle recovery with Keotone Esters, supplements can help aid daily functioning.
What specific supplements can help maximize brain function and provide beneficial nutrients that can assist in cognitive function? Here are some examples of what we offer at Medical Transformation Center (though your personal regimen should always be approved by your primary care physician or other health partner like a specialist):
Good nutrition is the foundation of good health. By focusing on a nutrient-dense diet, we can provide our bodies with the fuel and support they need to function optimally as we age.
At MTC, we recommend the Paleo-Med diet. This approach offers a balanced and sustainable way of eating, focusing on nutrient-dense foods that are naturally low in calories. It promotes the consumption of healthy fats, which are beneficial for overall health, as well as brain health. Healthy fats found in avocados and nuts are known to support brain function and are essential for cognitive health. Additionally, nutrient-dense foods provide essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall brain health.
The Paleo-Med approach emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep for physical and mental health. By adopting even a few principles of the Paleo-Mediterranean lifestyle, you can experience significant improvements in your overall health and well-being.
It's important to schedule regular diagnostic testing to identify potential health issues early. Our specialized, integrative approach involves monitoring your body's important functions and indicators more frequently and thoroughly than most practitioners.
We aim to diagnose illnesses and conditions before they become serious concerns with genomic and other advanced testing. We also help in identifying and treating the root causes of existing ones. As a cutting-edge personalized cellular and regenerative medicine practice, we provide access to the most comprehensive and effective tools available.
Our team focuses on ongoing good health for all patients through the use of specialist diagnostic tools and advanced technologies that can prevent medical problems and discover underlying causes. Remember, prevention is better than a cure!
As we age, our bodies may require additional support to maintain optimal function. Intravenous (IV) therapies can provide essential nutrients and hydration directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring rapid absorption. This can be especially beneficial for older individuals who may have decreased absorption of nutrients from food.
IV therapies can help in maintaining function as you age by providing a quick and efficient way to deliver vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that support overall health and well-being. These nutrients can play a key role in supporting immunity, energy levels, and cognitive function, which are crucial for maintaining function as one gets older.
Additionally, IV therapies can also aid in hydration, which is essential for maintaining proper bodily functions. Dehydration can be more common in older individuals, and receiving hydration through IV therapy can help support various bodily systems and organs, promoting overall health and vitality.
IV nutrient therapy works by delivering nutrients and other compounds directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This allows for more efficient delivery of nutrients to your brain, which can help improve cognitive function. One of our blends, TransformCognition, has been very effective in regularly supporting cognitive processes with targeted and high-grade nutrition. We also have other blends as well that can provide a powerful cognitive boost!
Managing visceral body fat and optimizing metabolism can contribute to overall vitality and longevity. Focusing on strategies to support a healthy body composition is crucial because excess visceral fat, which surrounds the organs, can increase the risk of various health issues such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. By adopting a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and stress management techniques, we can work towards maintaining a healthy body composition, promoting overall well-being, and maintaining function and mobility as we age.
EmTone can aid in improving overall health by providing relief from conditions such as lymphedema, neuropathy symptoms, and poor circulation. It helps facilitate detoxification, promote mental clarity, boost energy levels, and contribute to a healthier, more vibrant you. Additionally, it's important to maintain skin elasticity and collagen production. EmTone technology stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the visible signs of aging. It's a great option for addressing concerns like sagging skin and cellulite.
Regular physical activity is important for maintaining function as we age for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to preserve muscle mass and strength, which naturally decline with age. Engaging in activities such as weight-bearing exercises and resistance training can help to combat this loss and promote better mobility and balance. Additionally, regular physical activity supports flexibility by promoting the maintenance of joint mobility and reducing the risk of stiffness.
Furthermore, cardiovascular health is crucial for overall function, and regular exercise plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy heart and circulation. By engaging in activities that elevate the heart rate, we support the efficiency of our cardiovascular system, which in turn promotes better overall function as we age. Overall, staying physically active can help us maintain the strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health necessary for optimal function as we grow older.
Taking an integrative cellular and regenerative approach to aging involves addressing various aspects of health in a comprehensive and proactive manner. In choosing any one of the areas above, you can begin to work towards maintaining function and vitality as you age. Remember, it's never too late to start prioritizing your health and well-being!
