Love Your Body, Nurture Your Soul

By Vanessa Billingsley, Fountain of You Wellness Writer

Today it is considered normal to feel like the weight of our responsibilities is too much; like just barely making it from day to day will have to do. Sleep is intolerably fleeting and yet may be all we desire. We encourage and embrace a stressful lifestyle, pushing ourselves beyond our limits day after day. Sugar cravings and a steady accumulation of pounds prevent us from feeling comfortable with our bodies. We understand opposition to be a natural part of life yet no longer possess the physical strength to withstand it. Life spans continuously lengthen due to modern science but we are left struggling to enjoy them. At the doctor’s office we seek answers to our questions about fatigue, pounds we cannot lose, a waning sex drive, and a general sense of chaos amidst life’s perpetuating whirlwind. Yet our lab results come back “normal”. We are told there is nothing wrong; that maybe we should accept the symptoms we are experiencing as part of the normal aging process. How terribly tragic that so many of us are alive and yet not truly living, wondering if we will ever catch up and feel like ourselves again, desperate for help and unable to find it. What we seek is a better way, and I want you to know that it exists.

Anti-aging is an area of study on the cutting edge of medicine. It combines true prevention with a revolutionary perspective in regard to aging. Anti-aging physicians are specialists in this field who are dedicated to vigilantly combing through a patient’s symptoms and understanding how they are connected. A thorough account of one’s lifestyle to include such details as dietary habits, emotional health, and activity levels, plays an important role in helping identify what occurs within the body. Such forward-thinking physicians also prescribe lab tests and interpret results from an anti-aging standpoint. The ranges of “normal” from this angle are highly advanced in that they take into account that national averages do not necessarily reflect optimal levels. Even the slightest imbalance in hormone circulation is unbearable for some. Anti-aging medicine recognizes this, remembering that all therapies must be individualized. It is now possible to safely repair inadequate levels of crucial hormones through superior hormone replacement and regain energy stores through nutritional supplementation. We can reset our body’s organs through detoxification and feed our cells the elements they need for restoration. We can identify weaknesses in our bodily systems and help design a unique and personalized age management program to fortify them and allow them to regain their vigor. It is not too late to enjoy glowing health in our skin, loss of excess weight, clarity of mind, improved memory, a surge in energy and sex drive, and an increase in motivation and metabolism. These are the side-effects of such progressive treatments. They are remedies with a goal to respect the body and its miraculous ability to heal and become restored. This is what America truly needs. It is what we have been looking for.

This summer as we carry out our plans for attending graduations, taking a vacation, or being present at a family reunion, we needn’t live with a sense that all is lost; that we can never recapture the essence of youth with its excitement and vitality! Through anti-aging medicine we are given the gift of true longevity accompanied by a high quality of life. Its therapies leave us better equipped to tackle life’s challenges with strength and confidence, to truly experience every joyful moment with family members, and to exist with genuine awareness of what takes place around us each moment. We have the choice to make an investment of time and effort in our physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and sexual health; our entire life experience. It’s a small price to pay to genuinely enjoy life and avoid the diseases associated with aging. At Fountain of You we are dedicated to helping you rediscover who you really are and embrace your health in a way that will bring you great satisfaction and fulfillment. This summer, you can join the many who have decided to heal their lives from the inside out. The choice is yours to love your body and nurture your soul.
