12 x March 5 — 18, 2020 x www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.comMEDICINE 2.0A New Way to AgeThroughout the past eight years,Florida Center for Hormonesand Wellness has established itselfas a leader in hormone optimizationtherapy. John Carrozzella,M.D., is a highly trained internationalhormone expert with a master’sdegree in nutritional and metabolicmedicine. Recently, the centermoved to a new location in theFountains of Bay Hill, affording thepractice an opportunity to expandits services in preventative healthcare and long-term wellness. The increasein space and staff allows thecenter to take on and tackle morepreventative issues.“Hormone balancing is a foundationfor healthy living and solidwellness,” Dr. Carrozzella said. “Aswe move forward, we want to focusnot just on hormones but on thingsthat will truly enhance wellness andvitality as people age. Oftentimes,traditional medicine tends to be reactive.We believe in a more proactiveapproach. By looking at specifichealth factors and overall physiology,we may be able to preventcertain health diseases associatedwith aging. Everyone wants to livelonger, but no one wants to live tobe 100 years old, sick and infirm.We aim to improve vitality as wellas longevity.”“Anti-aging” is a term that Dr.Carrozzella is not fond of, because“no one can actually stop aging. It’sa natural progression of life. I like torefer to what we do as ‘age management,’wherein wecan manage the wayspeople age and minimizethe risks of ailmentsand the overallimpact of aging.”One age-relatedhealth issue thatmany people experienceis an increasein their blood sugarlevels. Once the levelsreach a certain point,@K&R Photography they are consideredPROMOTIONAL FEATURE@K&R Photography“pre-diabetic” and are typically prescribedmedication. However, in followingDr. Carrozzella’s “proactiveapproach” at an earlier age, the patient’sbloodwork, insulin and sugarmetabolism are monitored and recommendationsare made regardinglifestyle and hormone balance in aneffort to reverse or slow down risingblood sugar levels, drasticallyminimizing the risk of developingdiabetes.“We want to try to prevent illnessrather than react to it,” Dr.Carrozzella said. “Studies showthat a premenopausal woman has a1 in 7 chance of developing heartdisease. After menopause, the riskincreases to 1 in 3. However, if youoptimize their hormones and do themetabolic things necessary, you canreturn that risk back to 1 in 7 or evenless. You cannot stop the risk of heartdisease altogether, but with propertreatment you can mitigate it.”Dr. Carrozzella added that he is“incredibly thankful for everydaymedicine and Western medicine”and wants to work cooperativelywith them, because “when we dohave these conditions and diseases,they give us the tools and medicinesto treat them. However, the power ofprevention is that it gives us the timeto observe and make the necessaryfine-tuning adjustments. For example,we can reduce the risk of dementiaby nearly 80% by optimizinghormones and focusing on nutrition.”The treatments each patient receivesat Florida Center of Hormonesand Wellness are customized to theirindividual needs. An in-depth screeningevaluation helps identify hormonalimbalances or other underlyingissues that may be affecting the patient’soverall health. Often peopleare accepting of conditions they associatewith getting older without realizingthere are treatments to help,including trouble sleeping.“Some doctors try to managesleep with sleep inducers or drugs,and often, the patient then faceslong-term problems or side effects,”Dr. Carrozzella said. “Instead, wetry to bypass that by focusing onnutrients, botanicals and lifestylechanges, which our patients havehad great success with. We look atthe whole body, because everythingis related. It is better to look at one’soverall health than to focus on asingle line item issue.”Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness is locatedat 7513 Sand Lake Road in Orlando.
