Disease Prevention

Rapamycin and mTOR information
One of the primary goals of antiaging medicine is the prevention or the delaying of the onset of the chronic degenerative diseases. The main disease targets of antiaging medicine are:
- adult onset diabetes
- dementia or Alzheimer's disease
- cardiovascular disease (including heart attacks and strokes)
- cancer
- osteoporosis (bone mineral loss)
The antiaging program elements work synergistically toward this goal by addressing some of the underlying disease mechanisms including the reduction of silent inflammation, neutralizing free radicals, and enhancing cellular energy production.
Achieving ideal body weight and composition which is a byproduct of a successful antiaging program also reduces the risk of certain degenerative diseases since overweight and obesity have now been proven to be independent risk factors for certain illnesses.
Dr. Smith will design your antiaging medicine program with this goal in mind and monitor your progress by periodically obtaining the appropriate lab tests to confirm the benefits of you program.
