Welcome to the
Anti-Ageing Revolution !
The degeneration and decline that
was previously thought of as an inevitable part of growing old can now largely
be prevented or remedied.
Because it is such a new concept,
below are the questions that Dr Chio is frequently asked by patients.
1. What is
Anti-aging medicine?
The key concept is to fine-tune a
person’s health such that their biological age is below their chronological
age.
Expressed in a different way, it
is to make them look and function younger than the age stated on their
passports!
2. Is this truly
possible? “I always thought that genes play the major role.”
Anti-aging is the art and science of maturing
gracefully, to enable one to maintain the physical strength and mental
functioning of their younger days.
While no one doubts the importance
of genetics, the explosion of medical knowledge means that we are able to test
and then treat many of the conditions that were previously thought to be
inherited and therefore un-treatable.
Also, it is now known that genes
influence but do not PRE-DETERMINE many health outcomes.
3. What are the
major approaches to treatment?
Dr Roy Chio’s philosophy is to treat not only the
symptoms of poor health and accelerated ageing but the root cause. The
cornerstones of treatment is a personally tailored programme of nutritional
therapy and natural hormone balancing. These will help to relieve many of the
symptoms of accelerated ageing such as poor digestion, chronic fatigue, reduced
libido (sex drive), insomnia, weight gain and an aged appearance.
4. I do not like
to take medicines in pill, tablet or injections. Can I still be on an
anti-aging program?
The success of any program is
evaluation and constant assessment and review. If a patient wants to
“naturally” anti-age, we can design a programme that will minimize the
medications BUT he has to be very disciplined about his lifestyle habits. Some
patients are eager to take on this challenge whilst others would rather combine
approaches.
Further, many of the medicine are
dispensed in Lozenges form or in cream form. This not only increases compliance
but can also reach the target organ tissues without being altered or degraded
by the digestive system.
5. What can I
expect at my first visit?
At your first visit, you will be
asked to complete a detailed lifestyle questionnaire.
Studies include a food diary,
eating and digestion habits, personal emotions, stress levels and bowel
function. This detailed information is essential as part of your diagnosis.
Laboratory tests that are required
would generally be blood, urine and/or saliva tests.
As part of your general health
assessment a basic radiology test will also be arranged. Results from these
tests may take from 3 to 14 days to be returned, depending on the type of
tests. You will be asked to return for a further consultation and treatment
discussion.
6. What about
follow up?
Following your initial screening
and diagnosis, follow up visits are monthly until symptoms are stable.
Thereafter, hormone tests are repeated every 3-6 months and general
consultations conducted every 6-9 months. Full screening is advised on a yearly
basis.
The advances in anti-ageing medicine
make it possible to diagnose and correct many of the ageing decline at an
earlier stage.
This is in turn prevents the
development of degenerative disorders (e.g. arthritis, diabetes, hypertension
and heart disease) and even cancers.
So, take the first step and feel
healthy and young again !
