Anti-Aging Medicine

Anti-Aging medicine is defined as proactive healthcare that treatment body processes that generate health and disease. Although life expectancy is increasing due to advances in medical science, it has come with little progress towards quality of life or longevity of disease-free years in the majority of the population. Research supports a maximum human life span of just over 110 years. Anti-Aging medicine aims to maintain or achieve this irrespective of chronological age i.e. to stay healthy and biologically efficient.

Anti-aging medicine is an evolving branch of medical science and applied medicine. It treats the underlying causes of aging and aims at alleviating age-related ailments. Its goal is to extend the healthy lifespan of humans having youthful characteristics.

Conventional and alternative medical disciplines are used in an integrated approach to achieve the best possible result for the individual. It incorporates a holistic approach that sees the patient as a whole and not as someone having an isolated disease.

Our clinicians are trained in age related medicine by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). Anti-Aging Medicine is also termed Age Management Medicine, Advanced Preventive Medicine, and Interventive Biogerontology. However, the underlying principles remain the same.

There are three main biochemical processes involved in aging. These are oxidation, glycation and methylation. Other relevant processes are chronic inflammation and hormonal deregulation.

Now there’s a proactive tool to screen for cancer

In partnership with Grail, the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test detects cancer signals across 50+ types of cancer as early as stage one. Test annually and stay vigilant for early warning signs.

Weight Management

An important part of Anti-Aging is weight management which impacts total health and internal inflammation. At Augusta Anti-Aging Medicine, we offer a comprehensive weight management program that is tailored to your individual needs.

There are different methods to achieving weight loss. Reviewing dietary modifications alone, many patients may participate in varying methods to achieving weight loss. Some of which include a low carbohydrate-high fat diet; a low fat diet; or a glycemic index diet. The studies reviewed have helped to prolong scientific uncertainty over whether low-carbohydrate or low-fat diets are the most effective for long-term weight control. For the short term, a moderate-fat/low-carbohydrate diet seems to provide the most benefit. However, there is conflicting evidence substantiating quantitative differences in long-term group mean weight loss between low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets. Targeting identifiable populations with specific macronutrient compositions based on physiological principles has barely been addressed to date, and may provide a new route to greater effectiveness in weight loss programs and prevention of weight gain. The best course of therapy for weight management is the one you are most compliant with.

Dietary Recommendations
Exercise Recommendations
Nutraceutical Support
Appetite Suppressant Therapy
Branch Chain Amino Acid Support
Fat Emulsifier Injections
Oral Therapy to suppress appetite and improve satiety

To achieve maximum weight loss goals, these products are designed to be used with other weight loss products and/or exercise. Please note, injections are not a complete substitute for proper diet and exercise. They assist in weight loss enhancement results. For maximum benefit our weight loss treatments are designed to be used in conjunction with proper observation of diet & exercise. The addition of other B vitamins permits inositol to be a more effective lipotropic agent.
Injections are used to keep cholesterol more soluble, thus prevent accumulation of fats in the liver. They metabolize fats and cholesterol, and aid in transporting of fat in the blood stream & removal, thereby enhancing reduction of fat in the body. They also increases our average daily energy level and physical sense of well-being.

PEPTIDE THERAPY

The use of Peptide Therapy in healthcare has grown and is widely available as a treatment option for numerous conditions. At Augusta Anti-Aging Medicine, we use advanced medicine to ensure our patients receive the highest quality of care. As such, we are proud to announce our upcoming peptide therapy to our patients as a method of improving their overall health, wellness, and quality of life.

Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and are comprised amino acids that regulate a number of biological processes. Peptides are naturally occurring signal molecules to direct cell performance.

The body is comprised of over 7,000 known peptides that have individual responsibilities of actions in the body. Peptides may provide pain relief, assist in soft tissue repair, accelerating healing processes, promoting weight loss and lean muscle gain, improve sexual dysfunction, improving hormone production and cognitive function.

The body’s production of natural peptides varies greatly among individuals and may decline in quality and number with aging.

Peptide therapy refers to restoring the number of peptides to stimulate cellular regrowth systems within the body as a treatment option for specific conditions. Peptides are administered directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections, topical creams, nasal sprays, or oral forms.

Peptide therapy is an extremely unique treatment option that can be used to treat a variety of concerns. Some of the benefits of peptide therapy can include:

Accelerated healing processes
Improved hormone production
Builds muscle mass
Decreases joint and muscle pain
Enhances cognitive function
Improves sexual dysfunction
Improves sleep quality
Increases levels of energy, stamina, and strength
Lowers blood pressure
Promotes healthy immune function
Reduces signs of aging
Stimulates hair growth
