1. What is HGH?
HGH, the Human Growth Hormone, is naturally secreted by the pituitary gland, and is responsible for growth during childhood and cellular well-being throughout life. For more information on HGH and its benefits, click on our HGH page.

2. Is there a difference between injected and oral HGH?
Yes. While you can buy oral doses of HGH, taking HGH orally will cause it to break down in the stomach. HGH injections are currently the only effective way to maximize its benefits.

3. What is a nutritional assessment?
It's a highly detailed report that evaluates your health status. It includes your lab work results which contain the concentrations of your body's key hormones and other chemicals. These concentrations allow your physician to determine if you are in the normal or 'optimal' range. A nutritional assessment can help predict and, in turn, help prevent future medical problems, and determine which organ systems may be responsible for how you feel. It discusses in detail your metabolic state and your physician will use it to determine what diet, menus and recipes work best with your blood type. It will also be used to determine which supplements and vitamins will be most beneficial for you.

4. Can I get a nutritional assessment without joining your anti-aging program?
Yes, nutritional assessments can be purchased separately.

5. Are anti-aging services covered by insurance?
Insurers are geared more toward treatment of disease than preventive medicine. However, some of the labs may be covered by insurance.

6. How long before I see results?
Some people feel results within days, but you should allow yourself 3-6 months to fully experience all the benefits of your anti-aging program.

7. Why do I need to see a physician before starting a program? Can't I just take vitamins?
Having a qualified physician ensures that you will receive the proper lab tests and a thorough nutritional assessment. The physician's analysis of your results will allow you to know, specifically, which vitamins, supplements and diet will be most beneficial for you.

8. Is this a lifelong program? Once I start do I have to continue forever?
This is something you do for yourself for the rest of your life. If you choose to discontinue your program you will not experience accelerated aging. Your body will simply begin to age again at its normal rate.

9. How do I choose an anti-aging physician?
In choosing an anti-aging physician there are a few questions you should ask yourself: How does the physician look? What is this physician's primary care experience? Is this physician a member of the A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine)? Does this physician have Preventive Medicine experience? How long has this physician been practicing anti-aging medicine? How patient-specific is this physician's anti-aging program? Is this physician conveniently located? Can I afford this physician's program? And can I develop a rapport with him/her?

10. What is involved in hormone replacement therapy?
Hormones are chemical messengers that control bodily functions. Aging depletes the body's hormonal levels. We measure a patient's hormonal levels and prescribe balanced hormone replacement to restore those levels to where they were in the patient's early 30s. In a lot of cases we can do this naturally with secretogogues, which release the hormones already made by the body.

11. What kind of anti-aging supplements do you prescribe?
As we age, we develop deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. A complete, balanced nutritional multi-vitamin, mineral and anti-oxidant complex is a major part of the treatment regime. What we prescribe is different than something you can pick up at a health food store, because it is tailored just for your needs.

12. How does anti-aging differ from wellness and holistic medicine?
For the most part, wellness and holistic medicine don't deal in conventional therapies. Anti-aging medicine, however, is a comprehensive practice of preventive medicine that incorporates specific components of holistic and wellness medicine, but goes beyond them with board-certified physicians utilizing specific high-tech testing procedures and medical treatments.

13. Can you reverse the aging-process? Can you make someone young again?
We can make you feel and function young again. We can restore muscle-loss, increase skin thickness, reduce total body fat and improve bone density. Patients have reported specific improvements in skin tightness and moisture, mental speed and clarity, enhanced sexual function, elevated mood and energy levels, improved aerobic capacity, greater immune function and increased wound healing capacity.

14. Who are your patients? Is this just for seniors and retirees? Who would benefit from this most? When is it too late?
It's almost never too late. However, the sooner you begin, the more benefits you derive from an improved quality of life. The people who benefit most are those who are motivated to stay healthy in their later years.

15. What is hormone modulation?
Hormone modulation is the science of optimizing hormones that are no longer being adequately produced by the body. Genetically speaking, nature brings us to the point of reproduction and nurturing, and after that stage our bodies begin to fail. In fact, much of aging can be seen as deficiencies in many of the substances that our bodies once produced in abundance. The goal of hormone management is to modulate our hormones to the levels at which our immune systems are the strongest, our metabolisms the most efficient and our ability to build muscle, not fat, is the greatest.

16. Is Growth Hormone safe? Will it make things "grow"?
Human Growth Hormone is safe in therapeutic doses. Among its many functions is that of repairing and regrowing tissue. When a person reaches maturity, Growth Hormone is important for cell revitalization and repair. Cells cannot repair, maintain and heal properly in its absence. While HGH is sometimes used to help stimulate height in children who are pituitary dwarfs, it does not make an adult grow taller. There has been absolutely no correlation between therapeutic doses of HGH, such as those given in our programs, and cancer of any kind. Quite the contrary. HGH has proven to be extremely helpful in strengthening the immune system, increasing mental acuity and focus, and preventing the onset of diseases usually associated with aging.

17. Can I start a comprehensive hormone modulation and nutraceutical supplementation program without leaving my hometown?
Absolutely! We can consult with you on the phone and make house calls if needed. Call (410) 992-0011 today to get started!

18. What role does the patient's primary care provider play?
We are a consultant to the primary care provider. We're here to augment their practice.

19. How is your program different from other programs?
Ours is a medically supervised program. It is designed by a doctor who has post graduate training in preventive medicine. It is affordable and entirely customized for each patient. Very few anti-aging doctors have a Master's degree from Harvard and additional post-doctoral training in Preventive Medicine from Johns Hopkins, as well as being booard certified in the full-spectrum medical specialty that is Family Practice. In short, our program encompasses all the aspects of the other programs and much more.
