Preventive Gerontology

Preventive Gerontology is the basis for Optimal Aging. Instead of letting our bodies’ age away, we believe in the concept of “Preventive Gerontology” This is the study and practice of those elements of lifestyle, environment, and health care management that will provide the maximal longevity of highest quality for individuals.

It includes a matrix of strategies relating to diet, exercise, and the avoidance of substance abuse and adverse environmental exposure. Preventive gerontology carries differential emphases according to the life stage of a person, and we are the mid life specialist.

This concept is based on research that has demonstrated that being actively involved in our own aging process modifies factors that will in turn improve our quality of life in the long run; and may indeed alter biological age. The emphasis is on prevention and not disease states that can rob us of our lives.
