When should I consider anti-aging medicine?

Aging begins inside your body at the cellular level. Free radicals (unstable molecules) damage DNA and cells. Cellular metabolism changes, inflammation develops, and environmental toxins build up. Imbalances in hormones and gut bacteria develop.

These changes (and others) gradually cause degeneration and aging — but that doesn’t mean you must passively wait for your body and mind to age.

You can take steps at every stage of life to slow and sometimes reverse aging, and anti-aging medicine at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa paves the way.

The sooner you begin personalized, integrative anti-aging therapies, the better your chances of preventing or significantly slowing cellular changes and living a longer, healthier life.

What happens during my first anti-aging appointment?

The Fountain of Youth Medical Spa team specializes in integrative care. Their whole-person approach means they identify the aspects of your life affecting your health and well-being so they can treat all sources of aging.

During your first appointment, your provider talks with you, learning about your lifestyle, medical history, and any current symptoms or problems affecting your physical and mental health.

They run a wide range of lab tests. They check all the traditional biomarkers, such as cholesterol and glucose (sugar) levels, signs of body-wide inflammation, and changes indicating existing health problems.

The team also does specialized tests to find potential problems beyond the basics. You may undergo testing to identify nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, toxin levels, and gut health concerns.

This comprehensive approach allows your Fountain of Youth Medical Spa provider to create a personalized plan targeting your unique anti-aging needs.
