Knee pain is often labeled as a cartilage issue, but the joint is more than just cartilage. The pathophysiological mechanisms of a painful knee consist of damage to the cartilage surface, synovium, meniscus, subchondral bone, ligaments and tendons, as well…

Hip Pain can be blamed on things like aging, overuse, or “wear and tear,” but the biology is typically a lot more complex. The hip is a deep load-bearing joint where cartilage, synovium, subchondral bone, capsule, tendons, muscles and blood…

Crohn disease is more than just tummy ache, diarrhea, or 1-time at the bathroom discomfort. IBD is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory bowel disease, characterized by abnormal immune regulation of gut microflora. In other patients, the inflammation remains toward the…

Anti-aging is often reduced to skin, wrinkles, hair, or energy. But in advanced longevity medicine, the real question goes much deeper. How well are the blood vessels aging? How efficiently are mitochondria producing energy? How much inflammatory burden is the…

A neurological disorder doesn’t just affect movement or memory. Speech, balance, sensation, swallowing, and eating independence, sleep, mood, family routines, everything that makes up what a person does as part of the course of life can become affected. Our patients…

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most heterogeneous and complex autoimmune disease because it does not manifest uniformly across all patients. While some patients experience fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and/or photosensitivity, or recurrent flares. While a smaller number may go…

Neuroinflammation is not the same thing as “inflammation of the brain.” It is a complex biological condition encompassing immune cells, glial activation, inflammatory cytokines and macrophage recruitment; oxidative stresses, vascular signaling and phenomena surrounding the blood-brain barrier. In certain patients…

Atherosclerosis is commonly referred to as “plaque build-up” but that term doesn’t really capture the biological processes taking place within blood vessels. Cholesterol really doesn’t just stick like glue to the artery wall. Chronic vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are…

Advanced Longevity is no longer only about looking younger. In modern regenerative medicine, longevity is more closely connected to how well the body maintains energy, circulation, immune balance, tissue repair, cognition, mobility, and resilience over time. Patients are not simply…

1. Introduction to the Burden of Renal Decline Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects millions of people around the world and is characterized by the progressive loss of renal function. CKD has a major impact on the quality of life. It…

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) causes chronic systemic inflammation characterized by multiple organ involvement and extreme fatigue and pain. Inflamed organs often sustain damage and chronic tissue injury occurs due to the aberrant immune response. A patient of SLE endures the…

Among the numerous human ailments for which effective treatments are lacking, few are as devastating as progressive neurodegenerative disorders. The hallmark of these disorders is the insidious erosion of cognition and the loss of independence due to the deterioration of…

Psoriatic Arthritis is not just some joint pain that occurs in a person with psoriasis. A chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease, it can involve the joints and tendons, ligaments of the skin and nails, spine (spondylitis), energy levels, and ability to…

AIDS is more than an infection. This is the last and most serious stage of HIV, where your immune system basically cannot fight off the disease anymore, so you become much more prone to opportunistic infections, etc. At the time…

It is more than weight, sugar or cholesterol related; advanced metabolic syndrome. It is a multi faceted systemic vascular disease where insulin resistance, central adiposity, hypertension dyslipidaemia low grade inflammation and the beginning of endothelial dysfunction start to overlap. The…
