Sometimes, you just dont feel well even though you arent sick. If you arent quite healthy but dont have a disease, the medical system can leave you feeling like youve fallen through the cracks.

But a doctor in La Grange, Ky., specializes in helping patients to go from feeling OK to feeling fantastic and really thriving.

What is health? asks Dr. Carl Paige. Its not just the absence of disease; its optimal function.

Dr. Carl Paige.

Board certified as both a pediatrician and internist, Paige has been practicing medicine for 25 years. But in 2011, seeking a more proactive approach than the way hed always done medicine, Paige decided to get some extra training.

So he completed a fellowship in anti-aging, regenerative and functional medicine. He became board certified by the American Board of Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. And in 2013, he opened the Medical Transformation Center.

He continues to operate his traditional practice, Paige Primary Care Center. Both practices are located in Suite 201 at Baptist Healths medical plaza in La Grange, 1023 New Moody Lane.

Medicine is very good at dealing with crises, he says. But it doesnt do very well with the in-between-the-lines type patient maybe someone who just doesnt feel well, or someone who maybe feels well but would like to perform at a higher level.

The transformation center offers a broad range of services including obesity management, athletic performance optimization and hormone replacement therapy.

Deducing The Cure

By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter Latest Senior Health News

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 24, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers could be closing in on a "fountain of youth" drug that can delay the effects of aging and improve the health of older adults, a new study suggests.

Seniors received a significant boost to their immune systems when given a drug that targets a genetic signaling pathway linked to aging and immune function, researchers with the drug maker Novartis report.

The experimental medication, a version of the drug rapamycin, improved the seniors' immune response to a flu vaccine by 20 percent, researchers said in the current issue of Science Translational Medicine.

The study is a "watershed" moment for research into the health effects of aging, said Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

Rapamycin belongs to a class of drugs known as mTOR inhibitors, which have been shown to counteract aging and aging-related diseases in mice and other animals.

Barzilai, who wasn't involved in the study, said this is one of the first studies to show that these drugs also can delay the effects of aging in humans.

"It sets the stage for using this drug to target aging, to improve everything about aging," Barzilai said. "That's really going to be for us a turning point in research, and we are very excited."

The mTOR genetic pathway promotes healthy growth in the young. But it appears to have a negative effect on mammals as they grow older, said study lead author Dr. Joan Mannick, executive director of the New Indications Discovery Unit at the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research.

When drugs like rapamycin are used to inhibit the effects of the mTOR pathway in mice, they "seem to extend lifespan and delay the onset of aging-related illnesses," Mannick said.

Study points to ibuprofen as possible new anti-aging medicine

Buck Institute study shows popular over-the counter drug extends lifespan in yeast, worms and flies

Dec. 20, 2014 - Ibuprofen, a common over-the-counter drug used to relieve pain and sold under the brand names of Advil, Motrin and others, could hold the keys to a longer healthier life, according to a study showing that regular doses of ibuprofen extended the lifespan of yeast, worms and fruit flies.

The study was led by researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in a collaboration with Texas A & M's Agrilife program and published in PLoS Genetics on December 18.

"There is a lot to be excited about," said Brian Kennedy, PhD, CEO of the Buck Institute, who said treatments, given at doses comparable to those used in humans, extended lifespan an average of 15 percent in the model organisms. "Not only did all the species live longer, but the treated flies and worms appeared more healthy," he said.

"The research shows that ibuprofen impacts a process not yet implicated in aging, giving us a new way to study and understand the aging process."

But most importantly, Kennedy said the study opens the door for a new exploration of so-called "anti-aging medicines." "Ibuprofen is a relatively safe drug, found in most people's medicine cabinets," he said. "There is every reason to believe there are other existing treatments that can impact healthspan and we need to be studying them."

Michael Polymenis, PhD, an AgriLife Research biochemist in Texas A & M's Agrilife program started the work in baker's yeast and then moved it into worms and flies.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2014

Ayla (aylabeauty.com), an online natural skincare boutique and San Francisco-based micro-shop, has released an exclusive video interview with Dr. Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas about the dermatologist's top acne treatment tips. This will be the first video in a series featuring Dr. Macrene speaking at Ayla headquarters in San Francisco.

Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas holds a BA, MD, and PhD from Harvard University and has a thriving dermatology practice on Park Avenue in New York City. She is known for her cult favorite anti-aging cream, 37 Extreme Actives, which is a highly effective anti-aging skin care solution that can be used by all skin types, even acne prone. 37 Extreme Actives contains natural actives that have been clinically proven to significantly reduce wrinkles, diminish brown spots and redness, and repair sun damage while providing skin with powerful antioxidants, collagen boosters, barrier fortifiers, and moisturizers.

Here are Dr. Macrenes top tips for acne prone skin: 1)Those with acne prone complexions should avoid applying cosmetic powders as they can clog pores and contribute to breakouts. 2)Use your cleanser as a step to deliver medicine. Look for cleansers that contain niacinamide, an anti-acne ingredient, such as 37 Extreme Actives Cleansing Treatment which is an excellent acne skin care product as well as an anti-aging cleansing treatment. 3)Choose a non-comedogenic anti-aging cream, and avoid treatments that contain oils and petrolatum, which can be clogging. Additionally, look for ingredients that will help soothe the skin to help decrease acne-related inflammation. 4)Be cautious with prescription choices, including Accutane. While these prescription products may be effective, in some cases they may also leave scars and cause further inflammation. Dr. Macrene is also on Aylas panel of expert skincare advisors and shares exclusive anti-aging skincare tips on aylabeauty.com along with other top dermatologists.

Ibuprofen, a common over-the-counter drug used to relieve pain and fever, could hold the keys to a longer healthier life, according to a study by researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Publishing in PLoS Genetics on December 18th, scientists showed that regular doses of ibuprofen extended the lifespan of yeast, worms and fruit flies.

"There is a lot to be excited about," said Brian Kennedy, PhD, CEO of the Buck Institute, who said treatments, given at doses comparable to those used in humans, extended lifespan an average of 15 percent in the model organisms. "Not only did all the species live longer, but the treated flies and worms appeared more healthy," he said. "The research shows that ibuprofen impacts a process not yet implicated in aging, giving us a new way to study and understand the aging process." But most importantly, Kennedy said the study opens the door for a new exploration of so-called "anti-aging medicines." "Ibuprofen is a relatively safe drug, found in most people's medicine cabinets," he said. "There is every reason to believe there are other existing treatments that can impact healthspan and we need to be studying them."

The work was the result of a collaboration between the Buck Institute and Texas A & M's Agrilife program. Michael Polymenis, PhD, an AgriLife Research biochemist started the work in baker's yeast and then moved it into worms and flies. Polymenis, who also is a professor in the biochemistry and biophysics department at Texas A&M University, said the three-year project showed that ibuprofen interferes with the ability of yeast cells to pick up tryptophan, an amino acid found in every cell of every organism. Tryptophan is essential for humans, who get it from protein sources in the diet. "We are not sure why this works, but it's worth exploring further. This study was a proof of principle, to show that common, relatively safe drugs in humans can extend the lifespan of very diverse organisms," he said. "Therefore, it should be possible to find others like ibuprofen with even better ability to extend lifespan, with the aim of adding healthy years of life in people."

"Dr. Polymenis approached me with this idea of seeing how his cell cycle analysis corresponded with our aging studies," said Kennedy. "He had identified some drugs that had some really unique properties, and we wanted to know if they might affect aging, so we did those studies in our lab," he said. "The Buck Institute is interested in finding out why people get sick when they get old. We think that by understanding those processes, we can intervene and find ways to extend human healthspan to keep people healthier longer to slow down aging. That's our ultimate goal."

Ibuprofen is in the class of compounds known as NSAID's - nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used for relieving pain, helping with fever and reducing inflammation. It was created in the early 1960's in England and was first made available by prescription and then, after widespread use, became available over-the-counter throughout the world in the 1980s. The World Health Organization includes ibuprofen on their "List of Essential Medications" needed in a basic health system. Although deemed relatively safe and commonly used, ibuprofen can have adverse side effects, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and the liver at high doses.

Chong He, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the Buck Institute and lead author on the paper, said the extended lifespan in the model organisms would be the equivalent to another dozen or so years of healthy living in humans. "Our preliminary data in the worms showed that ibuprofen also extended their healthspan," she said. "Healthy worms tend to thrash a lot and the treated worms thrashed much longer than would be normally expected. As they aged, they also swallowed food much faster than expected."

Could ibuprofen be an anti-aging medicine?

Marietta, Ohio (PRWEB) December 17, 2014

Leading Southern Ohio endocrinologist Dr. Jane Cases today announced the launch of the Healing Saint product line, which consists of two products that enhance the ability of the skin and scalp to repair and renew itself. The Healing Saint Luminosity Skin Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines, fades age spots, minimizes uneven tone, reduces adult acne and increases luminosity and The Healing Saint Medicated Scalp Serum results in a revitalized scalp with thickened hair roots, reduced hair loss and decreased premature breakage.

The Healing Saint product line contains no Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). Scientific studies of animals and humans support a link between EDCs and harm to human health such as infant brain development, childhood obesity, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, some cancers and more.

Dr. Cases, who is board certified in endocrinology and diplomate in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, with special interest in cell therapy, has worked for years with people suffering from hair loss or Alopecia and personally experienced a severe road bike accident that left her with scars on her face and arm. Dr. Cases could not find an effective solution for her patients or herself after her accident, and so she spent the next several years developing the Healing Saint product line, ensuring that both products work with the skins natural processes.

Our products aim to replace what have been lost due to aging or other health related issues and replenish the scalp or skin with essential growth factors, proteins and cytokines. And, since they contain no EDCs, which are mostly man made, there is no mimicking, interfering or blocking of the normal functioning of our bodys natural hormones, said Dr. Cases. The early user results for the Healing Saint product line have been extremely positive, and we are looking forward to helping many more individuals eliminate frustration with hair loss and/or skin problems and gain back their self-esteem.

The name Healing Saint comes from inspiration from the healer and saint Agnes who, while maintaining faith during suffering, grew her hair.

For early testimonials on Healing Saint, click here: http://www.healingsaint.com/p/testimonials.html. To learn more about the Healing Saint product line, visit http://www.healingsaint.com.

About Jane Cases, MD. Dr. Cases, board certified in endocrinology and a diplomate in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, serves as a leading medical provider in southern Ohio. Her work focuses on endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism as well as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, aesthetics and much more. Her passion for total wellness and weight management led her to start Wellness 360 Comprehensive Lifestyle Center in Marietta, Ohio, where she serves as Chief Medical Officer. The development of The Healing Saint comes from her passion for regenerative medicine to help patients who want to fully address or prevent lifestyle diseases.

A graduate of Montefiore Medical Center in New York, Dr. Cases also serves as a speaker and a member of the advisory board for pharmaceutical companies on diabetes drugs in North America. Additionally, she holds active professional memberships with American Board of Internal Medicine, Endocrine Society, USA, American Thyroid Association, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, European Association for the Study of Diabetes, and American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine.

About the Healing Saint Launched in 2014, the Healing Saint product line aims to replace what have been lost due to aging or other health related issues and replenish the scalp or skin with essential growth factors, proteins and cytokines. The Healing Saint product line contains no Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). Scientific studies of animals and humans support a link between EDCs and harm to human health such as infant brain development, childhood obesity, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, some cancers, decreased fertility, and low testosterone in men, women and children.

Hair loss can be devastating for the millions of men and women who experience it. Now scientists are reporting that a substance from honeybee hives might contain clues for developing a potential new therapy. They found that the material, called propolis, encouraged hair growth in mice. The study appears in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Ken Kobayashi and colleagues note that propolis is a resin-like material that honeybees use to seal small gaps in their hives. Not only does it work as a physical barrier, but it also contains active compounds that fight fungal and bacterial invasions. People from ancient times had noticed propolis' special properties and used it to treat tumors, inflammation and wounds. More recently, research has shown that the substance promotes the growth of certain cells involved in hair growth though no one had yet tested whether that in turn would result in new locks. Kobayashi's team wanted to find out.

When the researchers tested propolis on mice that had been shaved or waxed, the mice that received the treatment regrew their fur faster than those that didn't. The scientists also noticed that after the topical application, the number of special cells involved in the process of growing hair increased. Although they tried the material on mice that could grow fur rather than balding mice, the researchers note that hair loss conditions often result from abnormal inflammation. Propolis contains anti-inflammatory compounds, so they expect it could help treat balding conditions.

They add that further testing is needed to see if the beehive material affects human hair follicles.

Abstract Propolis is a natural honeybee hive product with the potential for use in the treatment of dermatological conditions, such as cutaneous abrasions, burns, and acne. In this study, we investigated whether propolis stimulates hair growth in mice. Ethanol-extracted propolis, which contains various physiologically active substances such as caffeic acid and kaempferol, stimulated anagen induction in shaved back skin. Anagen induction occurred without any detectable abnormalities in the shape of the hair follicles (HFs), hair stem cells in the bulge, proliferating hair matrix keratinocytes in the hair bulb, or localization of versican in the dermal papilla. Propolis treatment also stimulated migration of hair matrix keratinocytes into the hair shaft in HFs during late anagen in the depilated back skin. Organotypic culture of skin containing anagen stage HFs revealed significant stimulation of hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation by propolis. Furthermore, propolis facilitated the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes. These results indicate that propolis stimulates hair growth by inducing hair keratinocyte proliferation.

New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Dr. John Palermo in 2001.

More than 25,000 physicians and scientists from 120 countries who believe in alternative medicine for anti-aging solutions and regenerative medical cures arrived here today for the 22nd annual world congress of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, or A4M.

The not-for-profit society is dedicated to the advancement of technology to detect, prevent and treat aging-related disease and to promote research into methods to roll back, slow down and optimize the human-aging process.

A4M believes that the disabilities associated with normal aging are caused by physiological dysfunction, which in many cases are restored with medical treatment such that human life span can be increased and the quality of ones life is improved as one grows older.

Actress, singer and author Suzanne Somers at age 67 has become the face and messenger of the nontraditional approaches to health and well-being. Shes written 25 books on the subject, including Ageless, Eight Steps to Wellness, Sexy Forever and Knockout.

Suzanne has been in Las Vegas recently exploring a resumption of her variety show here. She credits her discovery of the fountain of youth treatments as one of the reasons for her beating Stage-4 breast cancer without chemotherapy and remaining cancer free for 13 years.

Im going to live to be 110 years old, she declared.

WEST LOS ANGELES (KABC) --

Slapping your face to look younger? The concept garnered a lot of attention for one California massage therapist. The idea is to increase circulation and unblock energy. But is this trendy technique truly based in ancient practices?

Gam Pukkalanun is a certified Thai massage therapist in West Los Angeles. At her Thai Sabai salon, slapping is part of the routine.

"We use a chopping motion along the energy lines and to relax the muscles and open the energy lines," Pukkalanun said.

In Thai medicine, meridians or energy lines are called "sen." Like the rest of your body, the face also has specific ones. But can stimulating them make you look younger?

"The face slapping thing is, in my opinion, kind of a fad. I don't think it's a good treatment if anti-aging is what you're going to look for," said Dr. Shirley Chi, a dermatologist.

Chi says it's certainly not appropriate if you have irritable skin like rosacea patient Kristen Munoz.

"My skin is very, very sensitive. If I touch my skin, you'll see the mark on my face," Munoz said.

But gentle facial massage is something rooted in ancient tradition and common sense. Chi said when washing or massaging your face, use an upward motion.

"The concept behind the upward motion is that you're going against gravity and trying to get your skin to feel upward movement instead of downward movement," Chi said.

PRESS RELEASE

Losing weight was the No. 1 New Years resolution for 2014, according to a University of Scranton study, which also found that only eight percent of people succeed in achieving their resolutions.

So it stands to reason, losing weight will again top the resolution charts in 2015.

Youre much more apt to be successful, and keep the weight off, if you dont focus on simply shedding pounds by reducing your caloric intake, says Dr. Brett Osborn, author of Get Serious, A Neurosurgeons Guide to Optimal Health and Fitness, http://www.drbrettosborn.com.

As a general rule, the best thing you can do for yourself is start doing weight training and keep it simple, Dr. Osborn says.

He shares seven tips for burning up the fat and building muscle through weight training:

Make workouts intense. Any exercise or group of exercises must provide sufficient stimulus to trigger the bodys adaptive response. A requisite of this is intensity. We are reactive organisms at a base level. Resistance training of sufficient intensity stimulates an increase in testosterone production, and the anabolic, muscle-building process ensues.

Always err on the side of training less. So, how do you know just how much is enough? Are you training too often or just the opposite? In both cases, there will be failed gains. Thats right overtraining can stall progress! The answer? Pay meticulous attention to your progress, or lack thereof.

Chart your progress. Set training goals, both short-term and long-term, and accomplish them. Buy a log book or download an app (there are many available for free) and make a habit of recording every workout. You dont know where youre going unless you know where youve been.

Nutrition is as important as training. You must provide your body with adequate nutrition to rebuild itself. If your fitness goal is muscular hypertrophy and strength, youll make few if any gains in the context of poor nutrition.

Tampa Bay cosmetic medical practice Skinspirations has added SkinPen microneedling treatments to their menu of services. Skinspirations is owned by Cynthia Elliott M.D., who has been practicing medicine for nearly 25 years. The SkinPen, which employs a process known as microneedling, is produced by Texas-based Bellus Medical. The pen-like device produces thousands of microscopic holes to stimulate collagen and the skin's natural healing process. Research shows this safe, nonsurgical cosmetic procedure is more effective than previously thought in making skin healthier and younger-looking.

By stimulating the skin's natural ability to repair itself, the SkinPen breaks down scar tissue and replaces it with normal collagen. The vertical technology of the SkinPen allows the device to be used safely anywhere on the body, even close to eyes in the case of treatment of crow's feet. The SkinPen has been shown to be effective for wrinkles, thin skin, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, premature aging, scars, lax skin, sun damage, stretch marks and hair restoration. It has also been reported to reduce the size of pores. Compared to other areas of wrinkling, eye wrinkles see the quickest and most notable improvement. Scars like icepick acne and surgical scars also become less noticeable with microneedling treatments.

The goal of treatment in microneedling is to create a surge of growth factors that assist with cell proliferation and differentiation. According to Dr. Lance Setterfield, author of The Concise Guide to Dermal Needling, skin cells go through cell amnesia as they age, in which the cells forget to perform the process required for healthy and younger-looking skin. Microneedling works by manipulating cellular communication through the release of growth factors and other proteins associated with wound healing. Cells are then able to remember and perform their functions properly, resulting in skin that looks and behaves like healthy, youthful skin.

The SkinPen is performed in-office and normally takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated. The SkinPen, which is not available for home use, uses sterile, disposable needle cartridges and is equipped with several safety features. Microneedling rollers for home use are also available and recommended to help speed up and maintain results. All three licensed estheticians at Skinspirations have had extensive training in SkinPen, as well as other professional skincare procedures.

Microneedling also allows for an increase in product penetration. Ingredients, such as vitamins, are able to travel down the columns produced by needling into the deeper layers of skin in order to assist with the cell rejuvenation process. Some of the most important ingredients to use with microneedling include:

Dr. Elliott stresses that proper moisturizers and sun protection, in addition to a healthy lifestyle containing a proper diet and exercise, are necessary to obtain the most dramatic results with SkinPen treatments.

Microneedling optimizes skin health and is not intended as a quick fix. Collagen remodeling can take place for up to two years, and the SkinPen should be thought of as an ongoing process, like a fitness routine. SkinPen treatments for general anti-aging results should be scheduled starting with three monthly treatments followed by maintenance treatments twice a year and for issues related to scarring, six monthly treatments are recommended.

Dr. Berger is a renowned medial professional, who currently serves as an MDVIP in Boca Raton, Florida.

We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Berger to our Board of Directors, said Mitch Gould, NPI CEO. His insight and understanding is an invaluable resource for our clients and their products.

NPI specializes in helping U.S. and foreign brands distribute, sell, and promote their brands in the American market.

Dr. Berger has a unique perspective on health and wellness as someone who has lived through health challenges in the past. He said those experiences shaped how he practices medicine today.

Its different being on the other side of the stethoscope, said Berger. I understand what its like to feel a lack of control over your health as well as the fear that uncertainty can produce.

Gould, who has worked with such celebrities as Steven Seagal, Hulk Hogan, Ronnie Coleman, and Wayne Gretzky, and Chuck Liddell, understands the importance of bringing unique individuals to NPI.

As NPI continues to grow, its important that we continue to strengthen our organization with the finest minds in medicine, said Gould. We are proud to add such a talented and caring physician to our board.
