Age Management in Jacksonville Beach

What is Age Management?

Age management is a medical specialization that focuses on the early detection of age related decline, prevention, treatment, and possible reversal of the symptoms related to aging. Age management involves optimizing health through lifestyle management, restoring hormonal balance, delaying the appearance of age indicators, and preventing illnesses.

Age Management can drastically improve a person’s quality of life.

In his years of practice at Thin Centers MD, Dr. Capasso has heard his patient’s desire to look good and feel young every day.  Who hasn’t thought about wanting to live longer and enjoy a healthy life together with the ones you love?  Medicine has always been in the pursuit of improving people’s way of life.  There is a new development called age management, which is a medical specialization that focuses on the early detection of age related decline, prevention, treatment, and possible reversal of the symptoms related to aging.  Age management involves several measures that focus on optimizing health, restoring hormonal balance, delaying the appearance of age indicators, and preventing premature disability and death.  Dr. Capasso recommends that his patients explore these measures because age management can drastically improve a person’s quality of life and general well being.

Age management works on the principle that symptoms of aging can be managed by controlling certain aspects of a patient’s life.  By changing a person’s lifestyle, nutrition, medication, hormones, and daily habits, you can see drastic changes in his physical and mental state.

What are the options available for age management?

Dr. Capasso lists some of the age management measures that he recommends to his patients at Thin Centers MD that help manage the natural degeneration of the body:

• Age management for women – Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life that she must go through.  This is due to the decrease in her hormonal output that unfortunately has a negative effect on her physical and mental state.  It has been found that hormone therapy helps control the negative effects that menopause can have on a woman’s body.  Age management medicine makes it possible for a modular program to be created for each patient to be able to deliver a customized hormone therapy program to help manage the symptoms and ultimately improve a woman’s physical and mental well being.
• Age management for men – If women go through menopause, men are not spared and also go through andropause.  This condition is not as apparent as it is in women since the hormones in men decrease gradually.  Andropause is due to the decline in the production of testosterone, which are male sex hormones.  This decline causes physical, cognitive and sexual changes in men.  Like menopause, andropause can be managed through hormone therapy and men can immediately see positive changes such as increase in libido, lower abdominal fat mass, and lower blood pressure.
• Taking supplements – There is a certain amount of vitamins and minerals that body needs to receive in order for it to perform its daily function efficiently.  With people resorting to fast foods and easy cook meals, the nutrient content of food is compromised and often leads to deficiencies.  Age management promotes daily intake of food supplements to make up for the lack of nutrients in our food intake ensuring that the body is properly nourished.
