The Fountain of Youth: myth or reality?

The biggest irony of time is that, despite its silence, it can be the loudest presence in our daily lives. Chronic fatigue, declining libido; decreasing muscle mass and abilities to focus; lack of creativity; increasing body fat and unwanted weight gain; hot flashes––all of these are simply ways that time itself shouts at you, flaunting your mortality. The Longevity Centres of America takes your mind and body off the defense against time, and rolls it back by combating those symptoms.

I am delighted to report that the Longevity Centres of America has opened another facility right in the Heart of Denver, Colo. Their mission is to help people who care to age gracefully, maintain physical, mental, sexual, and emotional health while restoring their bodies to a younger state than their actual age. Before discovering the Longevity Centres of America, I visited clinics that practiced Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy as an addition to their usual practice, but the physicians of the Longevity Centres of America have a 100% dedicated practice not only to Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, they also integrate weight loss, detox and nutritional supplementation with their treatment plan. This approach is certainly better than surrendering to time, and fatalistically allowing it to slowly and steadily ravage you. Quick fixes are just that––quick fixes. I’ve tried the quick fix approach, and found to my horror that they did not give my time back to me. To the contrary, they wasted my time! Like airport novels, they were fancy sounding prescriptions that provided little to no relief.

The Longevity Centres of America takes a unique approach. By utilizing multiple therapeutic modalities as opposed to single modality approach {i.e.: Bio-Identical HRT for Men…and that’s all}, this practice not only avoids the use of the messy creams, confusing pills and painful shots/injections, but also manages to customize its treatment plan for you. As humans, we are very complex. When medical problems arise, it takes a symphony of therapies to address the cacophony of symptoms. I have found my maestro within the Longevity Centres of America.

My wife and I, unwilling to give up and live with these symptoms, searched for years to solve them. The term ‘Anti-Aging’ is a buzzword these days, however. Plastic surgeons, dermatologists, chiropractors and nutritionists use this buzzword in order to attract attention. Some offer creams and shots; others, a mountain of supplements. Some advise healthier eating habits and diets; still others, cosmetic surgery. My wife and I tried it all. But each time, the result was either short-lived, ineffective or both. Our weight stubbornly marched upwards, I was still tired and still stuck with a litany of medications. Things were even more difficult for my wife; her osteoporosis was worsening and she was very moody.

Then tragedy struck. I was diagnosed with a prostate mass and discovered that some of the nutritional supplements I had been taking, such as saw palmetto, worsened it. They were all natural supplements, of course––but natural is not always safe. Forget the creams, shots and pills, the supplements alone were such a hassle that my wife and I decided to find a clinic that devotes itself entirely to simplifying the complexities of regenerative medicine, boasts years of expertise in the field, and successfully treated thousands of patients. That is how we found the Longevity Centres of America. Today, we are stronger, leaner, happier, healthier and lead longer, more fulfilling lives.

And we are not alone. I spoke with a fellow patient, who told me that he was “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” He’d gone to his doctor, who simply replied that fatigue, depression, loss of sex drive and weight gain were normal aspects of aging. They were, in other words, something to accept and live with. “Tough break, you are aging and there is nothing that can be done about it,” I was told. Just two weeks after starting treatment at the Longevity Centres of America, he’d felt and seen dramatic improvement, describing it to me as though he’d gone from a black and white TV to color TV.
