Breaking Your Aging Barrier Awise man once said that the art of living was to survive for as many years as possible. I would modify those clever words to say, “to be able to live a healthy, happy life for as many years as possible.” The goal of science and medicine today is not just to live long lives but to live in full health. We all want the same thing: to enjoy our lives at our peak performance every day. Yet this can mean something different for each of us. Some search for true happiness, some strive for physically beautiful faces and bodies, while others may be working hard toward athletic prowess and strength. Whatever the case, all these states can be summed up in one single word: youth. A younger you is a more powerful, quicker, healthier you. No matter how you feel today, a better, healthier, and younger you is achievable. My goal for each of you is to be able to look and feel 15 to 25 years younger. We’ve all heard that in today’s business world, 50 is the new 30. Well in my office, 50 is the new 35, and 85 could be the new 60! Anyone can look and feel younger. My patients have learned to take care of themselves at the slightest onset of illness. They stop the aging process in their oldest parts as soon as changes occur. And because they are on top of their health, they continue to feel young all over. What’s more, their trimmer bodies and supple skin—both mirrors for the internal workings of the mind and body—continue to radiate with a youthful glow. 3 You’re Only as Young as Your Oldest Part As we age, our bodies deteriorate. We used to think that this weakening was due to the illnesses we were experiencing, but now the scientific community believes that it is just a factor of age. Yet the outcome is the same: any illness that is caused by aged, weakened organs or systems subtracts from our overall well-being and eventually leads to death. I refer to these failing organs as experiencing “pauses”: the time markers that identify the wear and tear of every part of the body. Women are familiar with the term menopause, which is the model for this theory. Like menopause, all of the pauses occur along with diminishing hormonal production. During these pauses, the failing organ, or part, becomes older than the rest of your body. At the same time, its associated hormone levels drop, sending a signal or code to the rest of the body whose purpose is to broadcast that the system is failing. This signal also begins the process whereby the whole body will begin to shut down. In essence, when diminished, the hormones of life and the electrical signals of the brain send a wrong or “anti”-signal to the rest of the life. Aging occurs throughout the entire body through the following codes: • Biopause: The brain loses its chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. • Electropause: The brain loses processing speed. • Cardiopause: The heart rate increases when pumping efficiency decreases. • Vasculopause: Blood vessel diameter decreases. • Immunopause: The immune system weakens. • Thyropause: The thyroid system weakens. • Menopause: Hormone loss in women starts. • Andropause: Hormone loss in men starts. • Osteopause: Bones lose density and become brittle. • Somatopause: Muscles lose strength and tone. • Dermatopause: The skin loses collagen and elasticity.
