Medical
Treatments
Certainly the best cure for disease is its prevention.
Toward that end, our Physicians perform extensive
medical examinations to determine the current well-being
of the patient. These may include: a physical examination,
cardio-vascular risk assessment, cancer screening,
nutraceutical and hormone evaluation.
Once areas of concern have been defined, customized
programs are developed by the Doctor who confers with
the patient to determine a reasonable course of action.
This may include weight loss instruction, nutritional
advice, weekly nursing visits, monthly doctor visits,
bariatric surgery referrals, annual checkups, gynecologic
examinations and/or use of bio-identical hormone replacement
therapy.
During the course of our lives, we experience
many physical, mental and emotional changes - in particular,
a decrease in quality hormone production. A more erratic
circulation replaces the smooth, rhythmic processes
of youth. A natural approach of altering lifestyle
and diet is often not enough to combat these changes.
Choosing methods of preventative health care, such
as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
can help.
At Living Proof Longevity Centre, our
physicians perform a complete metabolic analysis and
determine the weight loss needs for each patient to
achieve ideal body weight. Hormone levels are optimized
to help patients achieve their goals. Each patient
will have their caloric requirements measured and
specific diets prescribed according to their levels.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy
supplies the body with naturally occurring hormones
that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones
we produce. Depending on the specific hormone prescribed,
it may come in pill, lozenge or cream form. Certain
hormones must process through the digestive tract
(specifically the liver) for optimal effect; others
are best absorbed through the skin or mucous membranes.
Because researching
new methods of treating illness is crucial to finding
cures or treatment plans to help patients, Living
Proof expanded its participation in FDA certified
clinical trials. These programs provide free medical
care and prescriptions to patients who qualify based
on their medical history. We encourage you to call
us to find out our most current list of ongoing clinical
trials. We can advise you if we have one for which
you may qualify.
