Personalized Medical Care

During the BioAge® Take Back Your Health Program, Dr. DaSilva will recommend all that is necessary for you to attain your individual health goals. Instead of the standard 15-minute examination that most doctors provide, your first appointment will last an hour— ample time for Dr. DaSilva to review your medical history thoroughly through a 37-page questionnaire, review the BioAge® Analysis, and address all of your concerns, then provide you with a comprehensive and individualized list of recommendations to address all of your health needs (bio-identical hormones, targeted nutritional supplements, exercise plan, dietary recommendations, and more). You may also be recommended further, more specific testing, as determined by the BioAge® Analysis and the detailed history.

You may be pleasantly surprised to find that for the first time in your life, your doctor sees you as a whole person, rather than a collection of symptoms. What medications are you taking? What kinds of foods do you eat? Do you exercise? How stressful is your life? We recognize that only by really listening and observing can we truly understand your health goals and design a customized treatment plan to help you reach them.

Noninvasive Testing

Diagnostic testing is an important element of the BioAge® Take Back Your Health Program. Dr. DaSilva will order medical tests to help obtain an accurate picture of your current health status. The first and most comprehensive test available only at the DaSilva Institute is the BioAge® Analysis, a remarkable intuitive look at over 150 biochemical markers able to detect problem areas that can precede signs and symptoms up to 10 to 15 years. Balancing these markers has proven to reverse disease, regenerate your cells and restore optimal health. This test is the pinnacle of getting your health back naturally.

The BioAge® Analysis looks at hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, growth hormone, DHEA, Cortisol, and thyroid hormones will help Dr. DaSilva determine whether you suffer from hormone deficiencies that could increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, or other ailments. To identify insulin resistance (a risk factor for type 2 diabetes), Dr. DaSilva will review your fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and other markers of metabolic syndrome.

If heart disease is a concern, we will evaluate not only your cholesterol and triglyceride levels but also emerging risk factors for heart disease such as homocysteine, lipoprotein(a), C-reactive protein, and clotting factors.

You may also undergo two noninvasive tests that do a superb job of screening for cardiovascular disease: CT Angiography (a more accurate, non-invasive assessment of unstable coronary artery disease), and a Calcium Heart Score, but of which are covered by Medicare and most insurance companies. If you don’t have insurance or do not wish to use it, we can provide you with a special cash price as well. These tests will assess the anatomy of your heart and its vessels and measures the heart’s pumping capacity (ejection fraction). At no extra cost, the lungs, aorta, and portions of the liver are also assessed.

All of the information gathered from your BioAge® Analysis, your history and physical examination as well as these and other noninvasive tests will be used to create your personalized treatment program.

Bring a Family Member or Friend With You to Your Appointment

Chances are, you’ll be receiving quite a bit of information and having that extra person around when it’s time to remember what transpired during your visit can be extremely useful.
