Functional Medicine- Longevity with Precision

What is Aging

Lifestyle Medicine Program | Integrative Health Medicine
  • Aging is defined by the progressive loss of function in physiological process
  • Chronological Age is a NON-modifiable risk factor for most chronic diesases
  • Biological Age is a MODIFIABLE risk factor for most common diseases
  • Biological Age can be reversed with lifestyle changes and longevity therapies

9 Hallmarks of Aging

Hallmarks of Aging | Anti-Aging And Functional Medicine
  • In 2013, researchers broke down the causes of aging into 9 distinct hallmarks
  • In 2023, this list was expanded, adding 3 hallmarks: chronic inflammation (inflammaging), dysbiosis (gut), and disabled macro-autophagy
  • Our ability to age well is WITHIN our CONTROL

Functional Medicine- Longevity with Precision

The integrative functional medicine paradigm adopts an individualized, patient-centric, evidence-based methodology, fostering collaboration between patients and practitioners to delve into the root causes of illnesses and cultivate peak wellness. Instead of compartmentalizing diseases, it focuses on addressing the underlying factors contributing to each patient’s condition.

Longevity medicine endeavors to enhance the quality of aging through personalized, precision care. Rejecting the notion of “anti-aging,” we instead focus on optimizing the aging process, distinguishing between chronological age and biological age. Biological age, influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress levels, sleep quality, and environmental exposures, serves as a more accurate measure of overall health and aging.
