What has been happening?
Women in the United States have seen average life expectancy rising throughout the modern era, as greater wealth and improved medical knowledge brought better health for all. But there’s a problem emerging in the last few years as life expectancy has started to fall again.
Chronic long-term conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers are causing greater numbers of women to suffer poor health and lower quality of life. In many cases, the onset of menopause is thought to be the trigger for these types of condition.
Numerous studies on humans have shown that the later a woman goes through menopause the longer she will live. Later menopause and longer reproductive years are linked to decreased CVD risk, and potentially the chance of exceeding the average lifespan by up to 13%.
The Current Longevity Industry
As a result, longevity has become a huge market for midlife women. Many practitioners have begun to promote services across a range of fields, from diet and exercise to lifestyle factors.
Typical offers claim these services will tackle symptoms and combat the negative outcomes of perimenopause and menopause. For example they might claim certain foods can stop brain fog or increase energy levels. There are services to recommend particular exercise routines or other lifestyle changes.
While we do not comment on the efficacy of any particular service or offering, our belief at Austin Biotec is that they tend to overlook crucial elements.
Austin Biotec - A New Horizon
What We Do
Our research and the pilot studies, running with select patients, lead us to believe that while nutrition, exercise and lifestyle factors like good sleep and stress reduction are all important, there are two further elements that need to be considered.
First, it is essential to include the emotional aspect of your wellbeing. There is a growing body of research that shows our bodies are affected physically by our emotions and mindset.
Second, it’s vital to remember that as individuals we all have our own specific set of factors that affect our overall health and the condition of our bodies. One size does not fit all. As a result we have developed the Freudenspanne concept as a way to measure a set of critical biomarkers that affect the way we age.
​
By testing your individual response to these biomarkers – a mix of physical, hormonal and emotional readings – we discover a unique personal score that you can track over time to see your progress.
This allows us to tailor a precise nutrition, exercise and lifestyle programme for you, that we believe should support your own body and mind to give you the most effective response.
Furthermore, when the circumstances are appropriate, we offer a unique procedure using our Rejuvacyte treatment. This is a stem cell protocol which can support your ovarian function, which research indicates could play a key role in your longevity journey.
We believe our service is one of the most advanced and effective you can access to improve not only your current health and wellbeing but your prospects for a longer, more satisfying life as well.
