REGENERATIVE MEDICINE FAQ

Regenerative Medicine focuses on diagnosis, treatments and modalities that aim to help the body restore and repair itself in order to stay as young, vibrant, active, energetic and as sharp as you were when you were younger.

We spend as much time with you as it takes to figure out why you don’t feel as good as you think you should and working closely with you develop a plan to optimize your health.

Our patients will tell you that it does. Everything we do or recommend is supported by the most current medical literature and information available

This really depends on what the issue is. It’s best to call our office to find out more specifics.

We do NOT accept or bill insurance in our office. We will, upon request, provide you a detailed superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for services by an out of network provider.

ANTI AGING MEDICINE

There are several different ways to measure age. The simplest is to count the years. But we all know that your chronological age doesn’t tell the whole story. There are 56 year olds who look like they are 40 and there are other who look like they are 70. The best test of aging today appears to be a test of telomere length. As it turns out, our telomeres, the caps on the ends of the DNA strands that instruct the cells to divide can be used to give us a sense of our biological age. Another way to measure age is to look at your vascular reactivity. The greater the flexibility and thus reactivity, the younger you likely are.

This depends on how intensive a program you want and are willing to embark on. To help someone look 2-5 years younger is relatively simple. To help someone look, feel, and act 7-20 years younger is a more intense program that once started, you typically do not want to stop.

We take all health considerations into account when we evaluate and make treatment recommendations. It’s safe to say that everything we do takes safety into consideration. Everything is evidence based, taking into account what are the most effective ways to reduce the risk of disease. When there is any concern or contraindication for a treatment, we will advise you of your risks or advise you to discontinue specific parts of the program.
That’s like asking “How long should I keep my heart beating?” Anti aging is a lifestyle. Once you start and everyone notices how good you look and feel, why would you ever want to stop?

IV VITAMIN THERAPY

Yes.

We only absorb about 8% of what we consume orally for a variety of reasons, some of which have to do with the health of your gut. When we administer nutrients intravenously, 100% is immediately available to the cells throughout your body.
A push is useful for simple treatments such as a Myers Cocktail and this only takes about 20-30 minutes. A drip is more complex and a slow infusion over an hour or so is administered, usually of higher doses than can be safely administered by a push.
Of course, this depends on why you are getting the treatment but IV therapies are among our most commonly requested services.
We offer an intensive program using an NAD+ based treatment that typically occurs every day for 10-15 consecutive days. This is helpful for addictions to anything from smoking and alcohol to benzodiazepines and narcotics. If this is something that you believe you need, we offer the highest quality service available.

This is a question for your insurance company. We are happy to provide you with a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement, but in our office, payment is due when services are rendered.

HORMONE THERAPY

Our entire physiology is regulated by our hormones and their interactions with one another. We take into account over 30 different hormones (including precursors and metabolites), when we prescribe a program for someone. We always use hormones that are equal or similar to those our body produces naturally in order to foster a natural and safe transition to a younger you.

You can start by making an appointment and letting us review your case. Then we will take a careful medical history and obtain appropriate labs in order to guide on the path to wellness.

One of the telltale signs of aging is that the speed with which we think begins to slow down and run out of juice. Cognitive enhancers are substances that improve the speed of your brain waves and your mental acuity. They can be in the form of nutrietns, supplements, hormones, and in selected cases safe pharmaceuticals.

The question should be, “What are the risks of NOT doing bioidentical hormone therapy?” If you do not use hormones to maintain your balance, you will age more quickly, have less energy, have symptoms of menopause or andropause, and increase your risk for disease. We monitor you closely, thus your risks on BHRT are minimal. We are happy to discus these in detail with you in person or on the phone.

The ideal time to begin thinking about your hormones is before you begin to lose them. For most of us, this is about 30-35 years of age. At that age, we focus more in measurement and prevention of loss.

We mentioned earlier that anti aging is a lifestyle. Proper nutrition and exercise are essential components to a comprehensive program.

COST, SAFETY, AND TIME

Whenever possible, we try to make use of your insurance. The fact is that few insurance companies pay for prevention or longevity. We are a cash based practice and with the exception of some consultation services, none of our treatments are covered by your insurance.

Dr. Lobe will spend several hours with you learning your history, discovering what has worked in the past and what has not, identifying realistic goals, and establishing a timetable that will serve as a reference for both you and the doctor to develop the perfect program for you. The comprehensive examination is essential to identify the early physical manifestations of the aging process in your skin and other tissues of which you may not be aware. We will determine your genome through genetic testing and use that information to identify specific health risks and inherited metabolic derangements that directly affect your rate of aging. In many cases, we will want to assess the way your body metabolizes your hormones in specific ways. This allows us to determine dangerous patterns that can promote cancer and disease and to modify your program to reduce your risks. We will also examine the tissue concentrations of important nutrients in your system, how your immune system supports or impairs your body’s function, and how well your neurotransmitters are supporting your overall goals.
We do not take risks with your health or subject you to any known risks. Everything we do takes into account reducing your risks of disease and improving your condition.
Since it took you decades to look older, you shouldn’t expect a credible program to make you younger overnight. Every patient is different, however, in most cases, you and your friends will notice the difference within weeks.
