Sample:

The inspiration to pursue a career in anti-aging and regenerative medicine goes back to my experience as a sports medicine doctor. I was an Olympic physician and a Division One team physician at the University of North Texas for 20 years before I moved to Aspen in 2010. As I became an aging athlete, I became interested in feeling my best, and it seemed to be a natural progression for me. Last May, I turned 71. I began doing testosterone therapy when I turned 50 as I understood and believed in the concept of hormone optimization.

I learned that maintaining my hormone levels within the upper limits of normal, in an optimal range, could produce many benefits for me physically and psychologically. I could feel better, have more energy, and better sexual function. Additionally, Dr. Bob Goldman, who founded the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, was a close friend of mine. Bob and I served on the board of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine together back in ’89 and ’90.

BEYOND THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

I remember being at a board meeting and not seeing Bob there, so I asked what he was up to, and someone mentioned he was getting into anti-aging medicine. I thought he had lost his mind. As it turned out, he was a visionary and way ahead of his time! When I attended my first conference back in 2001 or 2002, I was blown away. At that time, there were already over 5000 physicians from all over the world at this conference in Vegas.

Since then, I have gone to a conference every year for the last 20 years, and I continue to learn more and be amazed. I learned of the benefits of being proactive and tying that into longevity. Incidentally, my motto was to help people live better longer. So, it seemed natural as a sports medicine physician to carry that on to aging athletes and to develop the skills necessary to be a leader in the field of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine. 

My Personal Experience with Anti-Aging

In reflecting on whether there was any particular experience for myself, moments with patients, or observing other successes, I found that embracing the philosophy and benefits of anti-aging made sense from the very beginning. Early research was very positive and showed that this was a beneficial thing that could truly help people.

Why, as we age, would we not want to do everything we can to fight what seems to be inevitable? Who wants to feel bad at five o’clock and not be in the mood to go home, enjoy your family, or certainly enjoy a vibrant physical relationship with your spouse or significant other? This new information prompted me to want to learn more and be an expert in the field, as I have always been obsessed with learning everything I can to best care for my patients.
