Medical care has traditionally been focused on disease treatment rather than preventive medicine. Doctors typically wait until people are sick before trying to cure their disease or alleviate their symptoms, rather than actively supporting health and wellbeing in the absence of disease. Current demographic trends toward older populations make this approach problematic. Instead of improving the quality of life, we may be extending the period of morbidity and frailty for millions of people. Functional Medicine should adopt the strategy of directly targeting the molecular mechanisms that cause biological aging. Only in this way will it be possible to slow the onset and progression of multiple age-related diseases simultaneously, to extend the health span proportionately with the lifespan.
In our practice, we take a different approach to health care. We implement 21st-century medical advances and share them with our patients. Dr. Michael Aziz practices functional medicine. and gets to the root of the problem.
Targeting biological aging directly, which we refer to as 21st-century medicine, has many advantages over the traditional one-disease-at-a-time approach. The impacts on life and health expectancies from targeting aging are much greater than waiting until people get sick and trying to cure or ameliorate their diseases. Instead of increasing life expectancies by only a few years from curing one disease, delaying aging could increase life expectancies by a few decades. Importantly, those added years would be spent in relatively good health because instead of only fixing one disease, all the functional declines and diseases of aging would be targeted simultaneously.
At the practice, we focus on modern advances in medicine to target preventative health early with; genetic testing, advanced blood tests to check for hormones, deficient nutrients, and biomarkers. We also have various top physicians with different specialties at our office, which makes us the number one stop for all your medical care needs.
