Full Description:
Charlotte, NC - December 24,2007 - Signature Wellness now offers an Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine Program to the residents of the greater Charlotte region. Anti-aging medicine, an extension of preventive health care, is the next great model of health care for the new millennium. Baby boomers want to feel and function their best and are seeking ways to preserve mobility, memory and vitality for as long as possible. Across the country, especially in California, Florida, and New York, people are becoming increasingly disillusioned by our current model of pharmaceutical-based medicine model, they are turning to Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Deborah Matthew MD, the Medical Director, and Jeff Babb MD are both trained in this new field of Medicine. Dr. Matthew was in the first graduating class of the two year program and recently achieved Board Certification in the specialty.
If you have had your cholesterol tested, taken a lipid-lowering drug, had a mammogram, or taken hormone replacement therapy with thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, melatonin, or DHEA, you have experienced anti-aging medicine. This form of medicine is based on the very early detection, prevention, and reversal of age-related disease. 90% of all adult illness is due to the degenerative processes of aging. This includes heart disease, most cancers, adult-onset diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, autoimmune disease, glaucoma, and Alzheimer’s.
With early detection and appropriate intervention, most of these diseases can be prevented, cured, or have their downward course reversed.
Anti-aging medicine is the newest clinical medical specialty, the “optimum” of wellness and longevity, and employs extensive therapies and treatment in the preventative health care field far beyond just cholesterol testing and mammograms. A profound paradigm shift in the way the medical establishment views aging and age-related disease is now underway. The American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine is a society of 11,500 physicians and scientists hailing from 70 countries worldwide, united in a commitment to deliver life-extending, life-enhancing medical care.
Both the National Institute of Aging (part of the National Institute of Health) and the AARP have recently recognized the significance of anti-aging medicine as the leading frontier of health care in the twenty-first century. The Cleveland Clinic, The University of California San Diego, and The Mayo Clinic are all offering programs based on these concepts.
The science of anti-aging medicine is truly multi- disciplinary. Not only represented by advances in the fields of biochemistry, biology, and physiology, the field is enhanced by contributions from mind/body medicine, sports medicine, molecular genetics, and emerging medical technologies. Anti-aging medicine is evidence-based, clinically sound health care which encompassess nutrition, fitness, stress management, scientifically researched nutritional supplementation and hormone replacement therapy where appropriate.
Signature Wellness - The Center for Optimal Health is the first and only medical practice in the area to have a Board Certified Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medical Doctor. Deborah Matthew MD is referred to as the "Dr. Oz of Charlotte" by some of her patients (Dr. Mehmet Oz is the author of the current best seller YOU -Staying Younger and is a regular guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show). "When I travel and speak with friends around the country, I see that the focus on maintaining health is part of the medical services that are available to them. There is a clear movement toward healthy and organic living. It is now time that these services were also available in Charlotte." says Dr. Matthew.
Dr. Matthew and Dr. Jeff Babb say their patients include soccer moms, business owners and CEO’s. The program focuses on therapies designed to make people feel young again. “Our treatment approach can help sharpen the mind, strengthen and reshape the body, lift the spirit, and set a path for vitality.” says Dr.Babb.
