Age Management Medicine as compared to Antiaging or Anti-Aging is defined as preventive medicine focused on regaining and maintaining optimal health and vigor.

Age Management Medicine incorporates well-known and accepted markers of disease-risk into proactive patient management and uses hormone modulation for the endocrinologically suboptimal by identifying hormone levels that yield superior health outcomes. All use of hormone replacment is based on documentation of adult clinical deficiency.

Age Management Medicine vs Antiaging or Anti-Aging recognizes that successful therapies necessitate healthy lifestyle including low glycemic index nutrition, appropriate micronutrient supplementation, and the absolute need for physical exercise.

Age Management Medicine vs Antiaging or Anti-aging focuses on the synergy of all of these elements in order to enhance vitality and extend our health span. While we may or may not be able to increase longevity, we are able to prevent premature disability and death and enhance quality of life.

Age Management Medicine vs Antiaging or Anti-Aging does not make claims of life extension or of reversing the aging process.

Contrary to Age Management Medicine, the term Antiaging or Anti-Aging Medicine has gained a great amount of negative notoriety while making uncorroborated implications.

The Antiaging or Anti-Aging industry continues to promote products that are useless and in some cases fraudulent in nature. Antiaging or Anti-Aging Medicine claims that aging is a disease. It is not a disease, but rather a process that we all experience.

Simply put, aging is inevitable, but how you age is not.
