PRO-AGING

A positive, preventive approach to evolution

Pro-aging or functional medicine, is an approach to health that aims to treat the root cause of disease, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.

It considers the human being as a whole, taking into account the interactions between different systems such as: lifestyle (sport, sleep, stress), diet (varied, balanced...), at biological level (digestion, immune system, hormonal system...) or biochemical level (vitamins, minerals...).

Functional medicine uses in-depth tests, nutritional advice, lifestyle changes and sometimes supplements or treatments.

In short, pro-aging or functional medicine aims to improve health by understanding the root causes of imbalances and offering personalized solutions for each individual.

What if you've tried several diets and they don't work?

It's easy to lose weight: just eat less and exercise! That's what everyone says. What's more, there are so many diets to choose from, you're spoilt for choice. So why don't you lose an ounce when you're following the instructions and exercising to the letter?

‍What we offer:
‍
‍A complete assessment of your metabolism, including blood sampling. A comprehensive and comprehensible approach because, the ultimate goal is not necessarily and only weight loss but also the capitalization of your long-term health. Through a healthy diet and the targeting of deficiencies, we aim to help you retain your vitality and health for as long as possible.

What can you do if you want to lose weight and nothing works?

For some people, gaining weight and muscle mass is a real headache. Are protein shakes good for me? Am I normal? The idea in this case, is not to gain just any kind of mass, but lean mass (muscle mass) and not fat mass, while taking care not to harm one's health (for example: kidney function).

‍What we offer:

Setting up a complete assessment of your resources (blood test, clinical examination, anamnesis, diet) to evaluate your request and what is possible in your case, while improving your health. The program is to be carried out within an adapted exercise framework to maintain ideal muscle mass without excess, while protecting your joints and your health.

What can you do if you're tired and think you're suffering from nutritional deficiencies?

Our pace of life, our (poor) lifestyle habits and our diet mean that, little by little, we become more and more deficient. Little by little, this affects our energy and can, in the long term, create problems, be they mood problems, increasingly frequent illnesses, or even cancers.

The multivitamins and other food supplements you're probably already taking don't necessarily protect you, because, often incorrectly dosed, these cocktails don't necessarily correspond to your needs.

‍What we offer:

‍A precise mapping of most of your vitamins, trace elements and hormones. An analysis of your needs and expectations. An explanation of the implications of each of your deficiencies. A way to make up for them as naturally and sustainably as possible.

What to do if you're afraid you might be allergic or intolerant to certain foods?

We're hearing more and more about gluten, dairy products and eggs and their consequences. But are you really concerned? Are you really allergic or intolerant? What does that mean? First of all, we need to distinguish between allergy (which involves our immune system) andintolerance (which can give rise to general symptoms such as bloating, intestinal transit disorders, fatigue...).

‍What we propose:
‍
‍We will, through a clinical examination and a questionnaire, review the various points and foods which, in your case, could be involved in one or more of your complaints. Biological tests can help us in these investigations and give us an idea of your intolerances or allergies.

Next, we'll invite you to take simple, effective measures such as complete or temporary avoidance of certain types of food. All without forgetting to preserve the balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals and the pleasure of a good meal.

How can you take advantage of the latest anti-aging medical innovations?

Being healthy today is unfortunately no guarantee of good health in the future. A simple and effective way to maximize your chances of staying in shape in the future is to eat a healthy diet, without deficiencies. A healthy diet is not necessarily a diet without pleasure, but a diet that combines pleasure and intelligence.

More and more studies are showing the long-term effects of certain foods on the risk of developing certain diseases, such as the link between omega-3 levels and cardiovascular disease, curcumin and inflammatory diseases, anti-oxidants and degenerative diseases, etc....
‍
‍What we offer:
‍
‍The aim of the consultation will be to improve your daily life and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases in the long term. In concrete terms, we'll always start by listening to your lifestyle, needs, complaints and expectations.

Then we'll suggest a blood test and, if necessary, a clinical examination. The aim of the nutrition consultation is to train you to take charge of your own health, so that you can become an intelligent player in your own life. It's all a question of analyzing your individual case and dosage. Indeed, while deficiencies are not good, excesses can also be harmful in the long term.

Pro-Aging Assessment

The Functional Health Assessment is a comprehensive approach that evaluates your well-being in depth. It takes into account your medical history, diet, sleep, stress levels and environment.

Specific tests (blood, urine, stool, microbiota, DNA, etc.) are used to detect hormonal imbalances, deficiencies, inflammation or genetic sensitivities.

Based on these results, a personalized action plan is drawn up, including nutritional recommendations, dietary supplements, phytotherapy and advice on stress management and lifestyle habits. This assessment helps you to better understand your body, prevent certain diseases and improve your quality of life in the long term.

Weight Imbalance

During the consultation, after determining your goal and ideal weight, we work together to develop a strategic plan that is realistic, simple and safe. With me, there's no standard diet or one-size-fits-all method.

Before your diet, we'll start with a full blood test, a clinical examination and in-depth questioning. You'll also benefit from a detailed body analysis using the Tanita Body Mass Analyzer. This cutting-edge Japanese technology enables us to accurately assess your body's fat and lean mass, among other things.

Weight loss or weight gain is a medium-term objective, which requires a period of stabilization to crown our collaboration on a long-term basis.

Stress/Burn-Out Balance Sheet

Stress and burn-out are closely related, yet distinct. Stress is the body's normal reaction to pressure or demands perceived as difficult to manage. In the short term, it can be motivating, driving us to accomplish tasks or meet challenges. Helping us to manage and control this stress can prevent us from becoming chronically stressed and risking burn-out. Personalized assessments and solutions enable us to assess and regulate this stress before it gets out of hand.

Burn-out is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by chronic stress. It can affect anyone, especially hypersensitive people. Since the covid crisis, I've been seeing more and more burn-out patients in my practice.

In addition to psychological and environmental support, a 24-hour salivary cortisol test can help to understand the underlying biological dysfunction. This enables us to start a treatment tailored to your situation, so that you can get out of burn-out more quickly and effectively.

Micro and Chrononutrition

Micronutrition and chrononutrition correspond to a more complex level of nutrition. Cellular needs are not the same in the morning as they are in the evening.

In the morning, our bodies need energy to carry out their daily tasks, while in the evening, they need to prepare for sleep, for the metabolic slowdown that enables cellular regeneration and repair.

Micro- and chrononutrition require an even finer analysis of your biological clock, so as to be able to discern different nutritional needs throughout the day.

One of the most practical aspects of micronutrition (apart from dieting) is in the help and treatment of insomnia and jet-lag.

Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky Gut Syndrome is a condition in which the lining of the intestine becomes too permeable, allowing substances into the bloodstream that shouldn't be there, such as toxins, bacteria or undigested food fragments.

This can lead to inflammation and potentially to health problems. Symptoms can range from digestive disorders and allergies to neuro-inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases.

We can perform a check-up to detect the severity of Leaky Gut Syndrome and remedy it to reduce the resulting inflammation. This helps to improve certain symptoms, such as allergies (eczema), intestinal discomfort, etc.
