What are Functional Medicine and Regenerative Medicine?
At Ageless Health Institute, we combine the principles of Functional Medicine and Regenerative Medicine to provide comprehensive, personalized care that addresses the underlying causes of health issues while promoting the body’s natural healing abilities.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is grounded in systems biology, prioritizing the discovery and treatment of the root causes of illness. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms in isolation, Functional Medicine views the body as an interconnected whole. This approach considers how genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors interact to influence health.
Key principles of Functional Medicine include:
Patient-centered care
Systems-oriented approach
Integration of best medical practices
Focus on prevention and wellness
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine is a specialized area of medical research and treatment that aims to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged cells, tissues, or organs to optimize their function. This innovative approach harnesses the body’s innate healing capabilities to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
Key components of Regenerative Medicine include:
Stem cell therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments
Growth factor therapies
Tissue engineering
At Ageless Health Institute, we integrate these two powerful approaches to provide comprehensive care that addresses current health concerns and promotes long-term wellness and vitality.
How Do Functional Medicine and Regenerative Medicine Work?
Our approach at Ageless Health Institute combines the analytical framework of Functional Medicine with the regenerative potential of cutting-edge therapies to create personalized treatment plans.
Our Functional Medicine approach is comprehensive and personalized. We aim to address the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your health history, lifestyle choices, genetic factors, and environmental influences. This thorough assessment may include advanced laboratory testing to identify nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and other underlying issues.
Using the Functional Medicine Matrix, our experienced team maps out the interconnections between various bodily systems and identifies the core imbalances contributing to your health concerns. We design a personalized treatment strategy based on our findings that could encompass dietary modifications, targeted supplements, stress management practices, and lifestyle enhancements.
At Ageless Health Institute, we offer a comprehensive range of regenerative medicine therapies to promote healing and tissue repair. Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy harnesses your body’s healing factors by concentrating platelets from a small blood sample and injecting them into targeted areas to stimulate tissue regeneration.
We also utilize specific growth factor therapies to enhance cellular repair and regeneration in areas of injury or degeneration. Additionally, we offer exosome therapy, which uses cell-derived vesicles to deliver regenerative signals directly to target tissues, promoting healing and cellular rejuvenation.
