Optima Anti-Aging nutrition philosophy for functional and preventive medicine consists of a three-pronged approach including bioidentical hormone therapy, nutrition and fitness. Our bioidentical hormone physician offers the best possible dietary counseling and supplements as a part of their natural hormone therapy program. This integrated approach has helped many of our patients find relief from the symptoms of hormonal imbalances including andropause, adrenal fatigue, and thyroid disorders.

Balance is important throughout your body, not just for your hormones. It is essential to keep the vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants at a higher level to help fight off the free-radicals caused by aging and any imbalance in your hormones, and to help with other problems with your blood sugar, thyroid, or adrenals. We offer state-of-the-art nutritional lab testing as well as Prime Vitality (Dietary) Supplements to compliment our preventive programs to help in balancing your hormones.

Optima Anti-Aging Nutrition Philosophy

Your customized nutrition program is absolutely integral to the success of your overall treatment; this is because the foods you eat affect your hormones. Your body relies on many vitamins and minerals to help produce and manage your hormones and there are numerous interactions between your diet and your hormones. Your body needs good nutrition to assist and maintain hormonal balance. It also works the other way around; unbalanced hormones can cause cravings (for example, the stress hormone, cortisol) and alter your metabolism, causing weight gain.

Good nutrition will not only help preserve hormone balance, but is also a vital component to weight loss. Weight loss is a simple ratio: calories in versus calories out. You must eat less than you burn in order to achieve weight loss. When it comes to losing weight, there is no such thing as a diet, there is only proper nutrition. There is no quick fix, no magic pill, no instant remedy, but there is a way. It's time to make a lifestyle change and make different choices when deciding what to eat. Our bodies are like machines, when we're not giving them the right fuel, they don't function optimally. In addition to having balanced hormones, you must eat properly and incorporate more physical activity in your daily routine in order to lose weight or maintain an ideal weight. Our primary concern at Optima Anti-Aging is to balance your hormones, weight loss will often occur naturally in the process.

FITNESS

Diet and a good exercise plan go hand and hand for fitness and hormone health. In order to truly transform your body, you must commit to setting up a personalized fitness routine and sticking to it. It's a lifestyle change. Making exercise a daily part of your routine will transform your physical and emotional body. Studies show that people who lead a life filled with exercise live the longest and have the lowest incidence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and mental deterioration. Good nutrition and exercise are the fountain of youth! Additionally, a proper exercise plan is vital for hormone health; it helps your body maintain balance.
