Anti-Aging

With the passing of time, there are many parameters of our health that begin to alter. Whilst no one single test is able to pinpoint your functional age accurately, it is possible to give an excellent indication through the use of several specific measurements as to just how you are aging health-wise. A vast amount of research has been done on how to optimise health and vitality, with improved ways to measure your progress along the way.

Our bodies are constantly changing day after day, working hard to maintain ‘homeostasis’ which is where the body processes are all in equilibrium. Cells breakdown constantly, needing to be replaced by new ones. This cell replacement is called Anabolism. This is why good nutrition is so important, it determines whether these new cells are stronger that those being replaced. If we allow our body to break down cells without providing adequate replacements, then we are in a state of Catabolism or Breakdown. When cell breakdown exceeds growth, the aging process is accelerated.

The main causes of catabolism are toxins, allergies, infections, nutritional deficiencies, free radicals and poor blood sugar control. Stress, anxiety, inflammation, inactivity and injury also result in early degeneration and accelerated aging.
Through the use of detoxification, optimised nutrition, strength & aerobic training, rest & relaxation, each of these factors can be improved upon and the effect on your body minimised, providing the body with anabolic cell growth and repair.
With proper assessment, monitoring and coaching, your metabolism and energy can improve and your risk of the diseases of aging substantially reduced.

To slow, stop or reverse chronic disease, we must tip our metabolic scales to favour anabolic metabolism and minimise catabolic influences. To assess the efficacy of any health restoration regimen, we must have measurable physiological markers which reliably indicate anabolic / catabolic balance.
