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-AgingAt the DaSilva 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”BioIdentical” Hormone balancing and targeted Nutrition

While aging isn’t caused by one factor, imbalances of hormones, free radical damage and mitochondrial dysfunction are the dominant thoughts of why we age.  Hormones are the chemical messengers that tell the body what to do.  Build bone, build brain, build muscle and so on.  The National Institute on Aging states that we cannot survive without our hormones.  In addition, free radicals are implicated in such diseases as atherosclerosis, hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, late-onset diabetes, cancer and Parkinson’s disease.

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. At the DaSilva Institute we will show you how to make sure your cells have enough “housekeeping tools”—including hormones, nutrition, anti-oxidants, natural anti-inflammatory agents, etc.
