Age management medicine (AMM) is an exciting new medical specialty that is dedicated to the science of healthy aging.  AMM emphasizes the enhancement of health over the treatment of illness.  AMM focuses on disease prevention, wellness, and quality of life and longevity.  One must promote hormone optimization, reduction of risk factors for illness, and improve cardiovacular fitness.  Living healthily beyond 85 is attainable now.  We can predict that the more one mimics the properties of a young body in an old one, the longer should that old body live.  These are not just speculations.  The death genes can be faked out by hormone optimization.

By incorporating AMM practices into our daily lives, we can compress the time we are sick to the very end of our lives.  We can avoid premature disability and death.  After all, what are the benefits of living longer if we end up in a nursing home, locked up in a body or brain that doesn't work?

The decline of medical care in America demands that you establish a lifestyle that promotes wellness.  The typical physician in managed care is not adequately compensated to counsel us regarding nutritional supplements, value of exercise, and the benefits of hormone modulation.  Economic models have now replaced clinical judgement.  Virtually every medical decision made by a physician today is affected by managed care.

What would be the health benefits of hormone optimization in us?  How would performance-enhancing hormones and supplements change our lives?  Our longevity genes need to "see" that our hormone make-up is that of a 20-year-old even if we are 60.
