Prime Health Associates
At Prime Health Associates, our focus is on promoting wellness and longevity. In the scientific world, longevity is defined as the number of years someone lives, but in functional medicine, we focus on the quality of those years. To achieve this, we must look at the underlying factors that impact longevity and wellness such as genetics, lifestyle, environment and nutrition.
The science of longevity and wellness have been advancing over the years, as researchers have identified various factors that can help people live longer and healthier lives. The use of nutraceuticals and lifestyle changes can improve health markers, such as inflammation, blood sugar balance, hormone regulation, and gut health. These are all crucial components of wellness, and by targeting them, we can extend our lifespan and enjoy better health at the same time.
One of the key factors that affect longevity and wellness is diet. A healthy diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods can have a profound impact on our overall health. The Mediterranean diet, for instance, has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Many studies have also suggested that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats may lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. As a functional medicine doctor, I believe that patients who adopt healthy eating habits can add many years to their lives and prevent or reverse a host of chronic conditions. At the end of the day, my goal is to help my patients maintain optimal physical and mental health so that they can live their best lives.
