Anti-Aging Medicine Q&A

What factors cause aging?

The primary factors of aging include:

Oxidation

You’ve probably heard of free radicals, which are simple compounds lacking an electron in their structure. As a result, free radicals hunt for opportunities to “steal” electrons from other chemical structures, weakening them in the process. 

Glycation

Glycation is the process by which glucose and additional sugars attach to proteins. The resulting structures can then attach to free radicals and work together to create dangerous chemicals within the body. Glycation can even damage your DNA.

Methylation

This process incorporates methyl groups into molecules like proteins and DNA, helping to preserve normal function. Chronic inflammation reduces your overall volume of methyl groups, depriving your tissues of those regulating effects.

Chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalance are also known to hasten the aging process.   

What are some other anti-aging tools and techniques?

The Limitless Health Spa team uses an innovative approach to promote a long life, optimize your health, and enhance your quality of life.

Their tailored treatments include therapies, such as NAD+ to boost your metabolism, amino acids, and vitamin blends to enhance athletic performance and improve your mood, and supplements to help your body feel and function well and embrace vitality at every stage.

Peptides, often referred to as the building blocks of proteins, are made of strings of amino acids and can also be thought of as very short proteins. 

Your body naturally produces peptides, but, like hormones, those production levels can change over time. Peptide therapy helps by supplementing your natural peptide production with synthetically created peptides.
