My staff is always happy to answer any questions you have regarding the Biological Age Analysis.
Not long ago, I invited you to take part in what I call my Biological Age Analysis study. And your response was overwhelming…
The results we see every single day continue to amaze me…
Today, I want to share the dramatic results of one of my patients.
His name is Howard. He’s a former diabetic and a heart attack survivor.
When Howard first came to see me, he’d recently been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
He was on a beta blocker, an ACE inhibitor and a statin. He’d just recently started taking nitroglycerin — a cardiologist’s go-to drug for angina, or chest pain.
These drugs made Howard feel more miserable than ever.
It makes sense… These are some of the most dangerous drugs in the world. In fact, nitroglycerine was first made in 1847 as an explosive and started to be combined with gunpowder in 1865 to make TNT!
Back to Howard… He was 69 but, as he put it, he felt like “an old man.”
Today, Howard has the vascular — or blood vessel age — of a 43-year-old. And this 26-year vascular age reversal has greatly decreased his risk of having another heart attack and stroke.
We determined Howard’s vascular age using a noninvasive vascular scan called Doppler ultrasound. This state-of-art tool measures your ankle-brachial index. This is the ratio of blood pressure at your ankle to the blood pressure in your upper arm.
Lower blood pressure in your leg indicates blocked arteries due to PAD.
This ABI Doppler is just one of the new biomarkers of aging we’ve added to our Biological Age Analysis.
But it’s not the only new biomarker measurement we’ve added to determine your real biological age…
Over the past year, we’ve measured 14 biomarkers of aging that include your heart age, lung capacity, brainpower, hormonal age, skin elasticity, bone density, vascular system and brain age.
These comprehensive measurements tell us how your body has biologically aged over time. The Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine is the only clinic that offers this unique series of tests.
But now, my Biological Age Analysis includes brand-new biomarkers of aging…
These breakthrough additions enable us to take our biological age analysis to new heights. Along with your organ systems, we also use state-of-the-art measures to test your:
- Range of motion
- Strength
- Hearing
- Markers of inflammation – like CRP autoimmune antibodies and homocysteine levels
And as always, we also test your telomere length. Measuring your telomeres is another important marker in discovering your true biological age.
Your telomere length tells me how old or young your cells are acting. And it’s also a reflection of how well everything else in your body is doing.
Your telomeres are the tiny “countdown clocks” at the end of each DNA strand.
The shorter your telomeres, the more prone you are to the “symptoms of old age” like vision and hearing loss as well as diseases like cancer, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and diabetes.
Short telomeres have been linked to a 300% increased rate of death from heart disease and an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases.1
Why It’s Important To Know Your Biological Age
Many of you have called in to ask what the point is in learning your biological age versus your chronological age…
To be honest, my own sister Debbie asked me that question a few of weeks ago when she was in town.
And I’m glad you asked.
The whole goal in doing this testing is to see where in your body you are aging – and how quickly. Once we have these baseline measurements, we’ll work together to reverse your biological age.
Together we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan based on your unique results.
On average the patients at my clinic who’ve gone through this age-reversing protocol have grown 14 years younger.
But that number is increasing every day as more and more patients are taking part in the study — and growing years younger.
Today, I want to invite you to be a part of it. And reverse your own biological age by decades. Just like Howard did.
If you’re interested in turning back the hands of time and growing younger — or if you simply want more information — please call my clinic at 561-784-7852.
My friendly staff will be happy to answer your questions.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD, CNS
