Anti-Aging Medicine is the Best Medicine:Preventing Disease & Promoting Longevity

Some years ago I felt this time would come and my hunch was right.  I began taking advanced curriculum in the area of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, functional, and regenerative medicine because I was so tired of the band-aid medicines prescribed to treat disease.   The light bulb was going off in my head wondering what the healthcare model would look like if we began to prevent disease from happening, or at least prolonging it's onset.  These years have afforded me some of the best training and education I have ever known, and believe me, I've been in school for many long years.  Some of the physicians, celebrities, and experts you see me talk about in my posts, I have had direct contact with as a student through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.  I doubt I could ever go back to the thoughts and practices of my early days in this professional path.  The doors of true healthcare are opening in ways we have never known before and people are looking to this as a better answer to their health and longevity.  The tide is finally turning, and I'm excited to be riding the wave of the future.  This is not just a good thing, this is a GREAT thing!  ~Dr. Sonja O'Bryan

"We expect to get a disease. Of course you will get a disease, look at the planet, our planet has been hijacked, our food has been hijacked," Suzanne Somers told the audience in her keynote to the 2012 American Academy of Anti-Aging in Orlando, Florida this weekend.
Healthy living is getting harder thanks to toxins, genetically processed foods and environmental conditions out of our control  Just look at today's top chronic disease killers: obesity, heart disease and diabetes.  But the good news is healthy living is also getting more popular with consumers who want to take charge and physicians who are sick of taking care of the sick and want to help people stay healthy.
New health consumer meet the new health doctor
The tide is changing thanks to the new top-tier health consumer who are driving the adoption of the anti-aging healthcare model. This group is responsible for reshaping a new healthcare landscape - seeking to create a world in which we enjoy prolonged lifespans, absence of disease and disability and full of productivity and vitality according to a presentation by A4M co-founder Dr. Robert Goldman.

The anti-aging industry is getting bigger, stronger and smarter with dedicated physicians who practice preventive medicine and influential celebrities such as Suzanne Somers who are making it their life purpose to shift society from disease care to healthcare. With a 9% growth rate year after year, in 2010 the anti-aging industry was valued at $115 billion and it is now on growth track to be $292 billion by 2015.
