Don’t Miss Out-the Science is
Happening Quickly

It’s critical to understand that modern science is unraveling health, wellness, and disease at the molecular level. We are literally understanding what is happening inside the cell, and we are understanding how pharmaceuticals, supplements, and lifestyle prescriptions can affect these processes. For example, we are learning what turns on the genes that repair our DNA. When activated, these repair genes lessen cellular age.

Aging is a product of many factors. Stress damages our genetic blueprint, which controls our cellular function by coding for the proteins that make our cells work. Essentially, aging is a loss of information at the DNA level. We age when we experience oxidative stress, radiation and carcinogenic exposure, and inflammation. All of these cause damage to our DNA.

Damaged DNA results in malformed, dysfunctional proteins, leading to visible signs of cellular aging. Fortunately, emerging strategies show promise in reversing this process. This is what drives me now, and what I want to share with you.

Let’s explore what we know, what remains unknown, and what confidently makes an impact. I’m eager to share the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained through years of studying the science of longevity. Many excellent books, some of which are on the shelf behind me, outline these concepts and research findings. I delve into them, reviewing the underlying science and evaluating the authors’ conclusions.

While I don’t always agree entirely, I generally align with the overall platforms presented in these books. Often, they discuss strategies I discovered and adopted long ago. My experience allows me to view their findings and opinions from a unique perspective.

My goal is to inspire you to take action and care for your own precious life. Rather than getting lost in the complexities of the science, I’ll provide the key takeaways during an evaluation at our Kenai health and wellness clinic. Then, we’ll move directly into practical steps you can take.

Trust me, I follow my own advice. While my personal experience is anecdotal, it might inspire you. Hopefully, I can achieve that goal.

If you decide to follow my approach, these are the core principles: I’ll teach you about chronic disease, helping you understand the enemy. Then, I’ll teach you how to combat it and win, achieving optimal health and longevity.

The Main Strategies Are As Follows:

This prescription may not cure “everything” but it will treat “everything”. The lifestyle prescription obviously is diet and exercise. OK, but I’ll give you the details. I’ll show you the scientific proof. I’ll try to convince you of how impactful these two interventions are, and if I’m lucky, I’ll get you to convert and start to change behavior and improve your own well-being.

The other big cornerstone for most people on a walk with Health, Wellness and Longevity is going to be the concept of hormone replacement therapy. One of the things that declines as we age, and as our cellular function declines, is the function of those organelles that we collectively call the endocrine system. The thyroid gland, testicles in men and ovaries in females, and the adrenal glands are all examples of parts of our body that make hormones. What hormones do is they talk to the other cells in the body and they control cellular function. As these organs make less of these important hormones, what happens is we lose this chemical messaging system that actually turns on the genes inside our cells that make our cells work right. In our patients, when symptoms indicate that hormone function is diminished and levels are suboptimal, we will try to intervene with bio-identical hormone replacement.

Supplements are probably the smallest Cog in the wheel of wellness, but they are also the easiest. All you have to do is take them. Supplementing is not nearly as hard as controlling the hole in your face and not eating those things you want to eat, but you know they’re not good for you. It’s not nearly as hard as controlling how much of those things you eat. And it’s darn sure not as hard as exercise. Exercise is painful. Why sugar coat it. Supplements are almost on the order of nutrition. Supplementation is basically purposely ingesting molecules, and not in the form of food, but in the form of things that often come from food, that seem to be highly impactful and provide some of the benefits that we see occurring from various nutritional interventions. It’s like a hedge on the bet. Maybe you can’t eat enough vegetables every day, but hey, we’ve got a strategy to help in that domain. And we are discovering specific molecules that appear to be activating those very same genes that turn on turn on the repair proteins to keep our DNA information intact.

These are our strategies that lead down the pathway to a Health span that is long. We would like to prove to you that you can have Health and Wellness at any age, and I think that together we can accomplish that.
