Whatever your longevity strategy, whether healthy practices like eating a balanced diet, exercising, and getting adequate sleep, or advanced treatments like plasma exchange, it is important to be able to measure your progress. This is done with tests known as aging biomarkers, which reflect how your body is aging biologically. Examples of aging biomarkers are DNA methylation (TruDiagnostic), blood values such as hemoglobin A1c, and dozens of others revealed by longevity research. These are important factors for those who want to take a proactive approach to their own health span. PHASE Plastic Surgery & Longevity believes that longevity medicine should always be based on scientific data. Knowing key biomarkers helps you make informed decisions about treatments that may help you stay healthy, vibrant, and full of life as you age.
What Are Biomarkers?
Biomarkers are biological measures intended to provide insight into processes occurring within the body. These are important factors that can identify risks within an individual and support a personalized approach to longevity. Rather than waiting for signs of illness or disease, biomarkers can help determine the preventative measures a person should take to support their long-term health.
Which Biomarkers Are Most Important for Longevity?
While many factors are important for overall health, a few are particularly important for longevity.
Some of the most important biomarkers include:
- Inflammatory markers: Inflammation is a key aspect of aging
- Hormone Levels: Hormones play a crucial part in energy levels, moods, physical functioning, and aging
- Epigenetic Markers: These markers offer a tool for determining your biological age rather than your chronological age
Learning more about these biomarkers can help you and your medical team determine ways to promote your health in the future.
How Do Biomarkers Help in Longevity Medicine?
Longevity medicine is a new approach to medicine that focuses on preventative care and a more personalized treatment plan. It offers a better understanding of your health condition, allowing you to choose interventions with purpose rather than trial and error.
Our treatment plans at PHASE Plastic Surgery & Longevity are based on scientific research to help you achieve a better state of health in the present while promoting your health in the future. One of the treatments we offer is Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, a cutting-edge treatment available at only a handful of clinics in the country. It is the only treatment with a prospective, randomized clinical trial demonstrating reversal of epigenetic markers of biological age. It involves withdrawing your blood, discarding your plasma, which accumulates toxins, and reintroducing other blood components with added proteins.
We help you achieve a better state of health today while promoting your future health by using biomarkers alongside science-based treatments.
What Makes PHASE Plastic Surgery & Longevity Different?
It is essential to have confidence in your medical team when you choose to pursue longevity medicine.
Dr. Richard Baxter is known for bringing cutting-edge therapies into the field of plastic surgery, and our practice is at the forefront of biotech-based longevity medicine. We think that feeling young and looking young often begins from within, and our treatments are designed to address the signs of biological aging and encourage healing and wellness.
What Should You Expect During Evaluation and Treatment?
Your longevity journey starts with an extensive consultation. During this procedure, we review your health history, discuss your objectives, and identify the biomarkers that will give you the most relevant information about your health status and future.
Some therapies require you to visit our office for maximum comfort and safety, including our therapeutic plasma exchange treatment. Depending on your needs, the frequency of therapy may vary. Some therapies may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
As you continue therapy, you may notice positive changes in your current health and greater confidence in your long-term wellness journey.
