Health Matters

Just so that everyone is clear, this is not the work that I do. I no longer practice medicine. My contribution toward longevity, health and quality of life took a different turn but because of my detailed studies on this subject, I learned a lot. I’ll share much of what I learned with you. Some science, which I hope you will find interesting and perhaps a suggestion or two. Some questions to ask. Possibly a map through the minified we call “The Dwindles” to end up “Rectangularized” with healthy, vibrant bodies, sharp minds and vigor as we stroll through the Autumn of our lives.

OK, back to “The Dwindles” and “Rectangularization”. “The Dwindles” are those decades we face as we age when we begin to lose the fine control of our bodies and thus, our quality of life. “Rectangularization” is at the moment, our best bet to bypass this time in our lives that none of us signed up for. It’s the way we get those years bask.

“Rectangularization” is good science and good medicine. It is the way we can prevent “The Dwindles” if we get started young enough, pull ourselves out of “The Dwindles” if we are already riding that wave and moderate “The Dwindles” if we are already well into it. In spite of what I was taught in the hands of the right doctor, rectangularization is safe and effective. We can actually step out of the queue.

This is how Rectangularization works. We’re born healthy and robust. We survive the rigors of childhood and adolescence. We hit that age of 20 - 25 raring to go and we advance through our young adulthood smart, vibrant, virile, sexy, active, productive and reproductive. This state of being glides down an invisible taper until we hit about 35 for men which is when Andropause starts and about 45 - 50 for women which is when Menopause starts. Then it all starts to go sideways. We are all embarrassed about these misadventures when they occur but the fact is, we shouldn’t be because they are not our fault. They just are.

So here is how we sidestep, like a matador waving his red cape at a rampaging bull as it charges by mere inches away. Our “Dwindles” can charge by mere inches away and the bull’s horns can go and find someone else to impale.

We need to start this next part by backtracking just a little bit. We need to get a bit more of an idea about what ageing is and there is a whole lot of really cool science coming up to help us get a grip on this. It is mostly about hormones and the fact that they tend to abandon us along the way. That’s good. That’s OK. That’s Mother Nature’s plan. She needs young, vigorous, happening people to repopulate her world. I remember what it was to be a young man between 18 – 25. It was a long time ago but I remember. I’ll also bet most women remember what it was like to be 22 – 30 which was their hormonal peak. It is nothing to be shy or embarrassed about. It is biochemistry and it is well beyond our control at that age. It is nature. It is what is supposed to happen. We’re hardwired for that.

Now, so many of us are approaching our “golden years” but we are doing so with options that no generation has ever had before. It is called bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

I’m out of room for this article so I am going to leave you with seven subjects to consider before next week. Aglets, Telomeres, IGF1, Aromatase,Testosterone, 5 alpha reductase and HGH.
