The Four Dimensions of Aging & Regenerative Medicine
In medical terms, "aging" describes a complex relationship between various systems of the mind, body, the environment and ones genetic profile. However, at measurable points in time everyone’s physiology can switch from being essentially anabolic (replenishing-regenerative) to catabolic (depleting). At these "critical points," around middle age or even sooner aging begins to accelerate dramatically. These catabolic- points in time need to be identified and the catabolic-aging physiologic processes altered to return to a normal anabolic-balance.
Dr. Ullis is the first physician to identify the four dimensions of aging:
*Neuro-Endocrine - how hormones and the nervous systems signals interrelate
to determine how we feel - our mood, mental energy, memory, mental sharpness-clarity etc.
*Energy Metabolism - how we obtain and utilize energy. When not operating correctly often leads to obesity and diabetes.
*Bio-Mechanical - how we move. This Dimension occurs often before the others and many age quicker via the inability to move efficiently and smoothly without pain or any joint or muscle restriction.
*Lifestyle & Environment - the social and personal dynamics that govern how we relate to the world and the affects on our genes also known as the “epigenetic effect”.

In order to start an effective regenerative program, one requires a minimum of three to four consultations to establish the foundation for a personalized regenerative (“anti-aging”) program.
