In this article, integrative medicine doctor Nishath Hakim, MD discusses five natural anti aging treatments available at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI that can help patients maintain youthful vitality, good health, and a younger appearance – at any age.

BHRT for Natural Anti Aging

One of the key components of integrative medicine’s anti-aging approach is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Hormonal imbalances can play a significant role in the aging process, affecting energy levels, mood, weight gain, sex drive, and overall well-being. BHRT involves the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. By carefully assessing hormone levels and tailoring treatment plans accordingly, Royal Oak integrative medicine doctor Nishath Hakim, MD helps restore hormonal balance and optimize overall health.

For women, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a natural approach to restoring hormone balance during menopause, providing a range of anti-aging benefits to the skin, bones, weight, and more. Menopause is often accompanied by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to various symptoms and age-related changes.

BHRT involves the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body, allowing for personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. By replenishing hormone levels, BHRT can alleviate menopausal symptoms, improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, strengthen bones, promote healthy weight management, and enhance overall well-being, helping individuals navigate the aging process with vitality and grace.

For men, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a natural approach to providing a range of anti-aging benefits, including improved sexual drive and performance, heart health, better body composition, and more. With age, men experience a decline in testosterone levels, often leading to symptoms such as reduced libido, fatigue, and loss of muscle mass.

BHRT involves the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body, allowing for personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. By replenishing testosterone levels, BHRT can improve sexual drive and performance, enhance energy levels, support cardiovascular health, aid in maintaining lean muscle mass, and contribute to a healthier body composition. By addressing hormonal imbalances, BHRT helps men age gracefully and maintain vitality and well-being as they navigate the aging process.

Vitamins & Supplements for Natural Anti Aging

Vitamins and supplements also play a crucial role in the natural, integrative medicine approach to anti aging. Through comprehensive evaluations and laboratory testing, integrative medicine doctor Nishath Hakim, MD can identify specific nutrient deficiencies and develop targeted supplement regimens to address these gaps. By replenishing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, patients can support their bodies’ natural anti-aging processes and enhance their appearance and their overall well-being.

Several vitamins and supplements offer specific anti-aging benefits, targeting areas such as skin, hair, bones, heart health, and vitality. For example, Vitamin C is known for its antioxidant properties, supporting collagen synthesis and promoting skin elasticity. Biotin helps maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails, while Vitamin D and calcium are crucial for bone health and can help prevent age-related bone loss.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supports heart health by aiding in energy production within cells and acting as an antioxidant. And Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, contribute to cardiovascular well-being, reducing inflammation and supporting brain function. Additionally, naturally derived adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and ginseng can promote vitality, reduce stress, and support overall well-being and anti aging.

Heart Disease Prevention for Natural Anti Aging

Heart health is another area of focus for integrative medicine doctors in their anti-aging approach. Through lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and personalized exercise programs, integrative medicine doctor Nishath Hakim, MD can help patients improve cardiovascular health and promote a state of relaxation and youthful rejuvenation.

Dr. Hakim offers the renowned BaleDoneen method of cardiac risk assessment and personalized integrative prevention plans. This innovative approach to anti-aging by helps prevent heart disease before it even starts by emphasizing early detection and targeted intervention to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. By combining advanced diagnostic testing, including advanced lipoprotein analysis and genetic markers, with comprehensive health assessments, the BaleDoneen method enables Dr. Hakim to identify individuals at high risk for heart disease.

Then, through a personalized integrative prevention plan, which includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition guidance, exercise recommendations, stress management techniques, and, if necessary, appropriate medications, the BaleDoneen method helps patients optimize their cardiovascular health, prevent the onset of heart disease, and promote overall anti-aging benefits.

PRP & Microneedling for Natural Anti Aging

Of course, our Royal Oak patients also want to look as young as they feel! So Prosperity Health also provides natural aesthetic treatments to address signs of aging skin. PRP microneedling involves using the patient’s own blood platelets to stimulate collagen production and improve the texture and tone of the skin. These natural aesthetic treatments offer patients a way to enhance their appearance without resorting to synthetic or surgical procedures.

The history of PRP dates back to the 1970s when it was initially used in oral surgery, wound healing, and joint regeneration. Recently it has also been recognized for its potential to rejuvenate the skin, especially when combined with microneedling, a technique that involves creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate renewed collagen and elastin production.

The combination of PRP and microneedling, known as “collagen induction therapy,” reverses signs of skin aging improving skin texture and tone, reducing wrinkles, and promoting a more youthful appearance. This combination therapy is a natural and minimally invasive option to “turn back time” for our Royal Oak patients who are seeking skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.

Natural Fillers for Anti Aging

Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm, are a natural and bioidentical anti aging treatment that has been extensively studied and proven to be safe – providing a non-surgical way to restore lost volume, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance.

If you are seeking natural skin anti aging treatments, you’re probably thinking: “Hold on, facial fillers aren’t natural!” But, in fact, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers (like Juvéderm) are indeed made from a 100% ‘natural’ substance!

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies, particularly in our skin, where it plays a vital role in maintaining hydration and volume. HA dermal fillers are derived from non-animal sources and are formulated to closely resemble the hyaluronic acid found in our bodies. By injecting these natural fillers into specific areas of the face, they can restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin.
