Anti Aging Therapy, Nutrition and Health
Nutrients help your body thrive. They provide you with energy and encourage organ function, helping you to stay healthy. Your body relies on these nutrients to keep your health in an optimal state, and as time goes on your body relies on them even more to combat the effects of hormonal fluctuations and other aspects of aging that are common during menopause and andropause.
Finding Energy with Anti-Aging Therapy
Energy is largely controlled by hormone levels in your body, and these will naturally fluctuate with age. Drops in estrogen and testosterone levels can lead to depression, severe fatigue and decreased sex drive—factors that can potentially influence your quality of life. A decrease in energy levels is one of the most common reasons people turn to anti-aging therapy for support.
Patricia: 100 lbs. Weight Loss*
A year ago I was such a MESS! Overworked, stressed out, and overweight. That did not include the checklist of medical concerns starting with a heart problem, shingles, a frozen shoulder and to top it off, I was just beginning menopause.
Diet, Weight Loss and Hydration
Water is essential for survival. It is responsible for the life of our blood cells, for transporting nutrients throughout our body and for regulating our body temperature. Water also aids in digestion with the elimination of waste from our bodies and keeps joints lubricated, reducing your chance of developing an injury.
Hormone Imbalance, Triggers and Migraine Relief
Hormone levels fluctuate with age, and this can cause an array of problematic symptoms to develop. Migraines are one of these symptoms, and while women suffer from chronic migraines at a significantly higher rate than men, they can affect either gender. Antiaging therapy can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by regulating hormone imbalance with treatments such as bioidentical hormone replacement, thus reducing the fluctuations that cause migraines to develop.
Work Your Mental Muscle during Anti-Aging Therapy
We often treat our minds and bodies as two separate entities. To keep our minds strong, we read, learn new things and do intellectually-stimulating activities like brain teasers. To keep our bodies strong, we hit the gym or head out for a jog. However, this detached thinking has a flaw. Your brain is a part of your body after all, and things like exercise can have a significant impact on how well it functions.
How Stress Makes Us Age Faster
Stress can come from just about any avenue of your life. You might be stressed out from work, after an argument with a family member or even as a result of a particularly bad traffic jam. When stressors like these start to add up, your health may become impacted. Joint pain, gray hair, fatigue, trouble sleeping, weight gain, mood swings—these may sound like the symptoms of getting older, but they’re also the symptoms of a stressed-out lifestyle.
To Age or Not to Age
To live is to age; that is the long and short of it. You can try with all your might to avoid the aging process, but as long as you wake up and take a deep breath you are going to grow a bit older. This is something that we are easily reminded of here in Charlotte, a city that is rich in history. Every day as you wake up, drive to work and run errands you are traversing ground that was settled before the American Revolution. A city like Charlotte is something that grows with age. New buildings, new roads, new people—we are what keep our city alive. Our own aging process isn’t all that different.
Fitness without Joint Pain
Knee, ankle and hip pain might be a stereotypical symptom of age, but we don’t always see it coming. The reality is that many men and women start experiencing joint pain soon after the onset of menopause or andropause, and this could mean as early as their mid-forties.
The Portion Debate and Weight Loss
You can’t walk into any restaurant without encountering problematic portion sizes. From fast food joints to five-star eateries, chefs are dishing up oversized cuts of meat, heaping helpings of side dishes and excessive amounts of soda to wash them down with. Oversized portions have become so normal that many people don’t think twice when ordering a 12-ounce steak or a burger with a full pound of meat on it.
