Longevity Medicine/Anti-Aging Solutions
Longevity Medicine refers to the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases. It is also sometimes known as anti-aging medicine, or regenerative medicine.

Longevity Medicine is based on the premise that many of the diseases associated with aging are preventable and treatable. By targeting the underlying causes of these diseases, it is possible to slow down the aging process and improve quality of life.

BIOLOGICAL AGE VS CHRONOLOGICAL AGE

One of the key concepts in longevity medicine is the difference between biological age and chronological age.

Chronological age is the number of years a person has been alive. Biological age, on the other hand, is a measure of how well a person’s body is functioning. 

It is possible for someone’s chronological age to be different from their biological age. For example, a 60-year-old who is in good health and has no chronic diseases may have the biological age of a 40-year-old. 

Similarly, a 30-year-old who smokes cigarettes, doesn’t exercise, and has high blood pressure may have the biological age of a 50-year-old.

There are a number of factors that can influence biological age, including lifestyle choices, genetic factors, and exposure to environmental toxins.

By understanding the difference between chronological age and biological age, it is possible to target interventions specifically at those factors that are contributing to accelerated aging. This, in turn, can help to slow down the aging process and improve quality of life.

There are a number of different therapies that we offer at the Institute for Human Optimization that can help to improve longevity and quality of life.

These include:
  • Hormone Replacement Therapy

  • Nutritional Therapy

  • Peptide Therapy

  • IV Therapy

  • NAD+

  • Biological Age Reversal

  • Telomere Testing & Therapy

  • And more!

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

As we age, our bodies produce less and less of the hormones that are responsible for regulating many of our bodily functions. This can lead to a number of age-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia.

Bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves replacing these lost hormones in order to restore balance and improve health. Unlike traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT uses hormones that are identical to the ones produced by our bodies.

BHRT can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including menopause and Andropause (male menopause). BHRT may help support osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia.

Hormone replacement therapy is an effective way to slow down the aging process and improve quality of life. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we offer BHRT in a variety of forms including creams, pellets, rapid dissolvable tablets, and injections.

Nutritional therapy is another effective way to improve longevity and quality of life. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at absorbing nutrients from food. This can lead to deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health. Nutritional therapy involves correcting these deficiencies through diet, supplements, and/or IV therapy. Nutritional therapy may be used to help a wide range of conditions, including fatigue, anxiety, depression, and memory loss. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we offer a variety of nutritional therapies, including IV therapy, supplement protocols, and customized meal plans.

IV therapy is a type of nutritional therapy that involves administering vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream via the form of an IV. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, which means that 100% of the nutrients are absorbed by the body. IV therapy is an effective way to treat nutrient deficiencies and can also be used for hydration, detoxification, and anti-aging. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we offer a wide variety of IV therapies, including but not limited to Myers’ Cocktail, glutathione, and vitamin C.

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NAD+ is a coenzyme that plays a vital role in metabolism, DNA repair, and energy production. As we age, our levels of NAD+ decline, which can lead to a number of age-related diseases. NAD+ therapy is a type of treatment that involves increasing levels of NAD+ in the body. NAD+ therapy has been shown to be effective in supporting a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we offer NAD+ therapy in the form of IV infusions and oral supplementation.

Biological age reversal is a type of therapy that is designed to slow down the aging process and improve longevity. Biological age reversal works by targeting the factors that contribute to accelerated aging.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are involved in a variety of bodily processes, including cell proliferation, immunity, and tissue repair. As we age, our bodies produce less and less of these peptides. This can lead to a number of age-related diseases, such as wrinkles, muscle loss, osteoporosis, and frailty. Peptide therapy involves replacing these lost peptides in order to restore balance and improve health. At the Institute for Human Optimization, we offer a wide variety of peptide therapies, including but not limited to collagen-stimulating peptides, bone-building peptides, and muscle-building peptides.

Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes. They play an important role in cell division and aging. As we age, our telomeres get shorter and shorter. This can lead to a number of age-related diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Telomere testing is a way to measure the length of your telomeres. Telomere therapy is a type of treatment that involves lengthening your telomeres. These are just a few of the therapies we offer at the Institute for Human Optimization.
