The Antiaging Doctor and Antiaging Clinics - Revolutionizing Medicine
An antiaging doctor or antiaging physician is a medical practitioner, who specializes in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions related to the aging process. Anti aging physicians believe in slowing or reversing the aging process whenever possible.
Antiaging doctors combine elements of standard medical training with alternative medicine to treat their patients usually in private practices or antiaging clinics. This field of medicine is growing rapidly as aging baby boomers are discovering that they can maintain their looks, health, and vitality far into advanced age!
Training in Antiaging Medicine
Training begins with the standard medical training that every doctor receives. The doctor extends his or her knowledge by acquiring more specialized training and certification in the medical disciplines that relate to all aspects of the aging process.
An antiaging physician is usually an M.D. like Dr. Eric Braverman the expert on brain age, but can also be a chiropractor (D.C.), osteopath (D.O.), or naturopath (N.D.), who has received the specialized training and certifications relevant to the field of antiaging medicine.
Antiaging physcians usually practice in antiaging clinics with other doctors who each have a medical specialty as their focus, but who work as a team to provide the integrative or holistic, that is becoming more accepted in medicine.
The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine currently provides a board certification in antiaging medicine which more and more doctors are taking to upgrade their skills.
Why an Antiaging Physician?
An antiaging practitioner would be superior to a more mainstream physician in dealing with aspects of aging because of their specialized training and focus, integrative approach, and belief in the appropriateness and effectiveness of antiaging strategies.
The antiaging physician will use types of alternative medicine that will allow them to prevent disease as well as slow down the aging process.
He or she will minimize the use of pharmaceuticals to avoid the side effects of prescription drugs, which often cause more problems than they solve!
Antiaging physicians are also aware of the dangers of radiation side effects from various medical scans, and will seek to minimize their use to just what is absolutely necessary.
If you are dissatisfied with the quality or your life because of the effects of aging and your primary care doctor seems either uninterested or unable to address that in a satisfactory manner, then you should consider the services of an antiaging physician.
Insurance...
Standard medical insurance may cover the services of an antiaging specialist depending on your medical plan, and whether you can get a referral from your primary care doctor. In the future it is likely that more insurance plans will cover antiaging medical care.
Finding the right Antiaging Physician
You would choose an antiaging physician by checking their status with the appropriate medical boards or associations, getting references from other physicians, and talking to or meeting directly with the doctor to determine whether you are comfortable and confident with their approach and philosophy.
You can find antiaging doctors listed on a number of sites online including this one. There are many fine physicians in practice with an antiaging focus.
You may decide that you want to have an anti aging physician as your primary care doctor. This may depend on your particular medical insurance.
It would also be contingent on the doctor’s status with the medical boards, and your comfort level with his or her medical expertise, approach and personal interaction with you.
You must do your homework when choosing any medical practitioner. The resources on this site can help you, but of course the decision is up to you.
A little research will ensure that you choose an antiaging doctor that will help you achieve true wellness and longevity.
