About this episode
Whether you're an anti-aging or, like me, a pro-aging advocate you're going to love this episode. My Guest: An honors English graduate from Tufts University, Dr. Stephen Petteruti continued on to medical school to become a Family Practice Physician. In 2014, with a holistic, patient-centered approach, Dr. Petteruti launched Intellectual Medicine 120—offering concierge medical services, functional medicine, facial anti-aging treatments, and advanced techniques to manage the body’s aging process. His next step was to bring the science of cellular health to Intellectual Medicine 120 with the addition of IV Vitamin Infusions—in a state-of-the-art, relaxing environment offering chelation therapy, high dose vitamin C for cancer clients, and lifestyle drips. Along with his wife Shannon, he is the founder of the DRIPBaR centers for IV vitamin therapy. Questions we answer in this episode: At what age should women, or men, consider starting Hormone replacement therapy? What are the primary clues that they should be looking for? A common question we’ve unpacked with other experts here on Flipping 50 and I’d love your opinion, does hormone therapy increase the risk of breast cancer for women, or prostate cancer for men? You talk about avoiding the "big three," heart disease, cancer, dementia, in order to extend the healthy lifespan. What are the most important things you believe a listener can do beyond healthy living to avoid these chronic diseases and preserve youth? Could you define the term "somatopause" for our listeners and discuss your opinion regarding the use of growth hormone for health support/antiaging. The name of your center is "intellectual medicine 120" to signify the hundred-and-20-year lifespan. You really think humans can routinely live to that age? And that they’ll feel so good they want to? anti-aging vs. pro-aging?
