As a doctor who’s actively involved in anti-aging medicine research and do-able anti-aging techniques for my patients, I’m always interested in helping my patients stay feeling, and living, as youthful as possible.

I’ve noticed in my own patients that those who were relatively healthy, financially and socially […]

Did you know that most medical doctors don’t know much about nutrition? It’s true. Maybe they’ve taken a class in medical school about the basics and, unless they pursue nutrition further, they really don’t learn much about it. As a result, they often tell their patients that if they eat a “balanced” diet, that’s all they need to maintain good health.
I’ve always told my patients they need to get more antioxidants – substances that fight aging – through fruits, vegetables and other foods. But, there’s more to the anti-aging picture than just antioxidants.
I’ve advocated “nutritional medicine” to my patients for years now. After all, if Nature can help reduce their dependence on prescription medications, I’m all for it.

One of the best anti-aging therapies that have been put into use during the last decade is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or BHRT for short. If you’re over 50 and have been battling the annoying symptoms of aging, I’d like to tell you about the improvement, and/or relief, you can expect from BHRT. Lost Your Love Life in All Those Wrinkles and Belly Fat? Now, I know, that doesn’t sound appealing, but unfortunately it’s […]

Two flawed studies, a rehashed review, and an editorial published in the December 17th issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine have attempted to discredit the value of multivitamin supplements. Both of the studies were plagued by grievous methodological flaws. In one of the studies, subjects were given low-quality, low-potency multivitamin supplements. Treatment adherence rates and drop-out rates were horrendous in the studies. Nevertheless, mainstream sources are using these reprehensible studies to undermine dietary supplements. The first study examined the cognitive effects of low-potency multivitamin supplementation in aging male participants. Not surprisingly, the conclusions in the present analysis question the value of multivitamin benefits for cognition. In the other study, […]
