Reading Time: 3 minutes Every physician at our clinic is board certified – you probably know that already from reading our introductory material. But what does “board-certified” mean?

In most cases, it does – but some countries and regions have different medical degree requirements. In some cases, those requirements are laxer than those in the United States. Most people can’t tell just by looking at a degree on the wall of a doctor’s office just how rigorous that doctor’s training … Continue reading →

Reading Time: 4 minutes   Many people don't realize it, but the skin is actually the largest organ of the human body. It makes tremendous sense when you think about it, though.

In that sense, it really is what's on the outside that counts. If you're interested … Continue reading →

DHEA is released primarily by the Adrenal glands but also in small amounts by the brain and … Continue reading →

Reading Time: 4 minutes Is the Wnt Pathway the Fountain of Youth? Perhaps it is!

Progenitor stem cells are the direct descendants of the stem cells that differentiate to create, maintain, and repair every organ and system in the body. For example, one family branch of progenitor stem cells tends to our central nervous system; another brand monitors our blood flow and keeps our bone marrow strong, and another branch keeps … Continue reading →

Reading Time: 5 minutes Did you know you have two different ages?    That’s correct. Everyone knows the day, month, and year they were born. That is the chronological age. But there is also the biological age that reflects your lifestyle and how you are aging internally. The chronological age is set in stone and can’t be changed.
