Aging is an inevitable part of life, so many of us try to resign ourselves to accepting it with grace. The truth is, although growing older is unavoidable, many of the effects of aging are preventable. With the right diet, lifestyle, and hormonal and nutritional support, degenerative diseases and age-related health problems can be avoided or minimized.

The Conventional Approach to Anti-Aging

Conventional medicine is unreasonably cynical about anti-aging therapies. Most traditional doctors will tell you anti-aging medicine is "quackery," believing drugs and surgery are the best ways to battle age-related disease. While these tools of conventional medicine can save lives in an emergency, they cannot prevent disease or promote health, well-being, and longevity.

Natural Treatments for Anti-Aging

At the Whitaker Wellness Institute, our definition of anti-aging medicine is the utilization of safe, effective therapies that address the underlying mechanisms of aging. Our goal is not to prolong life to some unrealistically advanced age, but to promote successful aging—staying healthy and functional up to the end of a long, productive life. Our focus is on natural treatments for anti-aging. These proven therapies prevent and minimize age-related diseases and include targeted nutritional supplements, natural hormone replacement therapy, and specific dietary and exercise recommendations.

Slow Down the Aging Process With Targeted Nutrients

While aging isn't caused by one factor, free radical damage is the dominant theory of why we age. Free radicals are implicated in such diseases as atherosclerosis, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, late-onset diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. During your stay at the Whitaker Wellness Institute you will learn how antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamins A, C, and E, and beta-carotene fight free radicals, slowing the rate at which we age and reversing some of the damage already inflicted over the years.

In addition to free radical damage, your body's everyday processes generate a lot of waste products that must regularly be detoxified and cleared out. Our physicians will show you how to make sure your cells have enough "housekeeping tools"—including vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid—to get the cleanup job done.

Our brains are affected by the same processes that contribute to overall aging. How well we take care of ourselves affects not only our general health, but also our mental function. Here at the clinic we utilize powerful herbs such as Ginkgo biloba and ginseng to help boost brain power and increase mental energy and stamina for overall health and well-being.

Natural Hormones Are Powerful Anti-Aging Tools

Hormone replacement therapy is the essence of anti-aging medicine. By restoring your body's levels of hormones to those of a young adult, you are taking one giant step away from the aging process.

At the Whitaker Wellness Institute, our physicians are well-versed in the safe use of natural hormones to boost energy, vitality, and libido, as well as lower risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and many other degenerative diseases.

A Low-Fat, Low-Sugar Diet Can Prolong Life

Dietary fat is a major source of free radicals. Many age-related and degenerative diseases, including cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cataracts, are associated with increased intake of fat. In addition, dietary sugars chemically alter the proteins in your body, ultimately damaging your immune system and kidneys.

Following a low-fat, low-sugar diet is one of the most effective ways to slow down the aging process. During your weeklong stay at the clinic, you will be served delicious, nutrient-rich meals each day. More important, you will learn how to shop for and prepare these low-fat, low-sugar meals to make them part of your regular diet when you return home.
