Anti-Aging
As Naturopathic Doctors, we support you through the aging process on a path towards better wellness
Healthy aging involves slowing the effects of aging to allow you to live a longer, healthier life, while also helping you avoid chronic disease.
Testing + Support
Tests
Here are some of the tests we may administer before recommending a plan:
- DUTCH testing for Sex Hormones (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones): Test your sex hormones (like Estrogen, Progesterone, Androgens (like Testosterone and DHEA) and their metabolites
- DUTCH testing for Adrenal Hormones (4 point Cortisol Rhythm, DHEA and Melatonin).
- DUTCH Complete (includes sex hormones and adrenal hormones in one inclusive panel)
- Food Sensitivity Panel
- Healthy Living Panel: The Healthy Living Panel is a blood test that gives us information on your liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, cholesterol and more.
- Thyroid Panel
- Environmental toxin testing (Toxic and Essential Elements, Non-metal toxins, Myctoxins (mold))
- Liver Function testing
Support
Your Naturopathic anti-aging support plan is unique to you and will be discussed during your consultation.
Potential Contributors to Premature Aging
Female Hormone Balance
Balancing androgens, estrogens, cortisol and their metabolites for an easier transition through menopause, while reducing your risk for cardiovascular disease, fatigue, dementia, osteoporosis and breast cancer.
Male Hormone Balance
Maintaining adequate testosterone levels and DHEA, relative to estradiol and DHT to maintain muscle mass, libido, while protecting against cardiovascular disease and premature aging (poor stamina, male pattern baldness, prostate disease and andropause).
Growth Hormone and IGF-1
Inadequate levels of IGF-1 and hGH may lead to fatigue, low physical stamina, poor muscle mass and bone density, and diminished ability for injury repair.
Cardiovascular Health
Proper cardiovascular function relates directly to tissue oxygenation of the muscles, organs and brain. Cardiovascular disease leads to poor physical stamina, erectile dysfunction, lipid imbalance (high cholesterol, high triglycerides), obesity, clots, dementia, stroke, heart attack, and congestive heart failure.
Blood Sugar Balance
Blood sugar and HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) levels should be carefully monitored and adjusted via diet, supplements, medication, and lifestyle changes to prevent against obesity, diabetes and accelerated aging. Glycation of proteins (sugars added to your cellular proteins) as a consequence of blood sugar imbalance can lead to wrinkles, vision changes, kidney disease, dementia and loss of nerve sensation.
Toxin Exposure
This may include heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic – which may accumulate in the body and lead to cellular damage. Environmental exposures to PCB’s, pesticides, and synthetic hormones can also contribute to signs and symptoms of premature aging.
Nutrition
Insufficient vitamins, minerals, nutrients, essential fats and amino acids can lead to inflammation, oxidative stress, and signs of accelerated aging (hair loss, fatigue, weight gain, skin changes, nail changes, sensitive digestion, low mood, memory impairment).
