Below are some definitions of what we do.  Young For Life Medical Age Management bases
diagnosis and treatment strategies on these principles.  Taken together, I refer to this type of
practice as "Metabolic Medicine."  The definitions below were taken and modified from the
Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine website.
Anti-Aging Medicine, a term coined in the 1990s, is a clinical/medical specialty and field of
scientific research aimed at the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related
decline. The term I prefer, and use in my practice, is Age-Management as I feel it more aptly
describes what we do--manage a person's aging process. The foundation of this is measuring and
replacing several of the body's innate hormones, which tend to decline as we get older.
Anti-Aging Medicine is well documented by peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals and
employs evidence-based methodologies to conduct patient assessments and treatments.
Functional Medicine is an integrative, science-based healthcare approach that treats illness and
promotes wellness by focusing on the bio-chemically unique aspects of each patient, and then
individually tailoring interventions to restore physiological, psychological, and structural balance.
Functional Medicine focuses on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the
environmental inputs, and the genetic predispositions that influence health and disease so that
interventions are focused on treating the cause of the problem, not just masking the symptoms.  In
short, Functional Medicine gets the body to "function" as optimally as possible.
