Anti-Aging Medicine

It may seem hard to believe, but the slow decline in our physical appearance and mental ability ("aging") may not be fixed, totally, in our genetic make-up or part of our inevitable destiny. "Aging" has been associated with a decline in a hormone called Growth Hormone which occurs after adolescence. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) declines more drastically after age 30. Your level of HGH can be measured with a simple blood test and then supplemented with a very small injection (taken 6 days out of 7). HGH cannot be absorbed through the stomach or under the tongue, it must be injected.

What can I expect if I take HGH? First you will need a physical examination done by Dr. Marks who is familiar with Anti-Aging medicine protocols. He will monitor your baseline hormone levels and recheck them periodically. All your hormone levels should be checked before you are given HGH. A commitment of 4-6 months must be made by you, in order to see significant results. Then you can look forward to experiencing the following:

  • Muscle Mass will increase and Fat will decrease after 6 months (with exercise results may sooner)
  • Higher energy level
  • Enhanced sexual function
  • Greater immune function to fight off colds and flu
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Stronger bones
  • Faster wound healing
  • Better vision
  • Better mood
  • Better skin tone with lessening of wrinkles
  • Some reversal of gray hair
  • Better sleeping
  • Better memory

Based upon a thorough and comprehensive assessment of your history, an analysis of your blood, and evaluation of other biomarkers of aging, a program can be tailored made for each individual. A customized program should be unique combination of hormone modulation, optimal nutrition and exercise to lead you into good health and longevity.
