Antiaging and Weight Loss

Hi once again from Las Vegas...one more day at the antiaging convention than home tonight....

I delivered a speech yesterday morning about the use of oral serotonin supplementation in a medically supervised weight loss program. I was surprised to learn that most physicians who have "Anti-aging" practices do not have formal weight loss prgrams in their offices.

Once again, the concept of "internal aging" vs. "external aging". Being overweight, and developing a number of the associated medical syndromes....hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, atherosclerotic heart disease, etc causes a markedly increase in "aging" of the internal organs. As the "outside" can be getting aestheic help, such as botox, surgical procedures etc to make us physically look younger, if the inside is aging rapidly, big problems wwill occur.

Aside from the "anti-aging" that our organs will go through as we lose weight, at the same time, our external appearance becomes more youthful as well.

Back in NOVA tomorrow!
