An annual anti-aging medical check-up is like taking your car in for preventive maintenance.

For safety, car parts like brake pads and tires are changed based on usage even when the part still functions. Oddly, people typically go to see a doctor only when some body part is starting to break down. Anti-Aging is like preventive maintenance first we check to see if everything is still functioning optimally, and if not we fix it. And dont forget that unlike your car, body parts are much more difficult to get replaced.

The above message is delivered by Dr. Anongnuth Chavalithamrong (M.D., ABAAM), American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, European Masters of Preventative and Anti-Aging Medicine, renowned for being one of Thailands best trained medical professionals in the field of anti-aging medicine for almost 18years.

Anti-aging medicine, considered an evolving branch of medical science and applied medicine, has sparked interest among people, particularly those who truly understand the importance of healthcare. Though most people think of beauty or looking younger when they hear anti-aging actually the focus of anti-aging medicine is on the treatment and prevention of illnesses as well as the promotion of excellent health and longevity.

Addlife Anti-Aging Center is fully committed to providing personalised healthcare services, backed by advanced technology-based analysis of the cause and effect of illness, reliable laboratory test results, and a comprehensive range of medical treatments. A team of medical professionals will help design a personalised healthcare program for each individual patient based on their unique condition and concerns. Anti-aging programs are aimed at improving quality of life by boosting energy, increasing vitality, getting a better nights sleep, restoring sexual health, revitalising brain cognition and cellular functions, easing weight loss, maximising immunity, reducing muscle and joint pain. Specialised health treatment programs may include natural hormone replacement, vitamin and mineral supplementation, oxygen therapy, cell therapy and more. Lifestyle advice is also provided on how to stay healthy with proper nutrition and adequate exercise.

Anti-aging patients commonly complain of fatigue or loss of energy, insomnia, weight gain or loss of fitness even after having a medical check-up and no problems were identified. Fatigue from a disease perspective involves heart or lung problems. From an anti-aging perspective, fatigue could be from hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, toxic accumulation, poor circulation, and inadequate oxygen which are not diseases but rather part of aging and therefore often neglected. At Addlife, patients will be offered specialised health check-up programs to identify these problems and treatments to correct them.

Dr. Kridakorn Kesorncam (M.D., ABAARM), Board of Pediatrics, Board of Family Medicine, American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, said that: Aanti-aging science and annual health check-up are developed under consistent methods. Health check-ups are not only conducted to diagnose disease but we also work to identify risk factors for future health problems. Everyone is recommended to have a health check-up at least once a year. If risk factors have been found, a specialised health treatment program will be introduced to a patient to reduce such risk factors. Meanwhile, it is even more necessary for those diagnosed with certain illnesses or having poor health conditions to seek a complete health check-up to ensure the most possible and efficient treatment plan for better health.

Admittedly, people seek health check-ups because they think they are at risk of severe diseases, for instance, heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Nonetheless, according to laboratory test results, many of them are not diagnosed with any severe disease. Hence, no treatment is required at this stage. Many people think they still remain healthy as no unusual condition or symptom is reported in their medical records. Our diagnosis and treatment processes are more detailed than those practiced by other health centres because we identify how best to promote good health and prevent illnesses for our patients. We take into account the patients body mass index (BMI) and their individual metabolic rates, advising requirements in exercise and appropriate intake of nutrients. Every health treatment program will include a physical examination provided by a team of medical specialists. Meanwhile, the programs also include recommendations and tips on dietary and recommended supplementary intakes.

Dr. Kesorncam added that: In addition to personalised care, Add Life Anti-Aging Center has obtained the best and most advanced technology from all over the world to tackle various health problems. Our specialised healthcare services include cell therapy, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, low-level laser therapy, blood circulation therapy, and more. Teams of highly experienced nurses, physical therapists, dietitians, and physicians are always ready to facilitate patients. Recently, we have announced the opening of our new Digestive & Liver Center aiming for the best of medical and healthcare services to promote good gut health.

Dr. Chavalithamrong concluded Please dont wait until it is too late to get a health check-up. We used to have to accept growing old with grace, but now due to new anti-aging medical technologies, we dont have to.
