Founded by Dr. Joseph Perlman, M.D., FACS, the Texas Institute for Anti-Aging Research delivers physician-led longevity and regenerative medicine in The Woodlands, Texas, with a focus on hormones, peptides, metabolic health, and long-term vitality. However, most of us don't feel our age. Numerous Americans feel older, as they do not lead a healthy lifestyle. Illnesses like diabetes and obesity are on the rise among baby boomers compared to their parents' generation, yet they are expected to live, on average, nine years longer. Baby boomers are not retiring at age 62, with 25% of men and 16% of women over 65 still in the workforce. We possess a biological age that scientists consider our true measure of health. This age is determined by our phenotype or genetic makeup, as well as environmental factors, including lifestyle. Genetics contribute to 25% of the aging process, while 75% is influenced by environmental factors that can be modified. Research has revealed that we have cells that no longer function normally, yet they don't die and disappear. These cells are known as senescent or "zombie cells." As we age, these cells accumulate and cause inflammation, which is a characteristic feature of chronic diseases and cancer. Researchers are currently investigating the development of drugs to eliminate these zombie cells and reverse the aging process. At the Texas Institute for Anti-Aging Research, we strive to help our patients live longer, healthier, and happier lives. We provide testing developed at Yale and Stanford to determine your biological age, as well as offer treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, PRP, Exosome, and Stem Cells to rejuvenate our patients. Additionally, we offer the latest skincare products and procedures to reverse the aging process. We collaborate with dietitians and fitness instructors to bridge the gap between chronological and biological age. Our services include:
•Sensitivity testing (food allergies) to assess the health of our gut.
•CJC 1295/Ipalmorelin: As we age, our growth hormone cells shrink. While some individuals resort to growth hormone replacement, this method can be risky. The combination of secretagogue peptides, CJC 1295 and Ipalmorelin, stimulates your body to produce growth hormones. It is beneficial for energy, mental focus, weight loss, muscle building, and more.
•BPC 157 for tendon repair.
•Semaglutides: A peptide for weight loss recently approved by the FDA, specifically AOD 9604.
•Testing for Biological age vs. (For example, my chronological age is 63, but my biological age is 46.)
•Bio-identical hormone treatment: This involves the use of plant-based testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen treatment. It is administered via pellet treatment and is beneficial for women experiencing menopause and beyond. It has been life-changing for many women, reversing the loss of collagen, increasing sex drive, reducing the chance of bone loss, eliminating hot flashes and mood swings, and reducing the risk of breast cancer. In men, testosterone therapy increases bone and muscle strength while lowering the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease.
•Science-based recommended diet and supplements based on your DNA, including Nitric Oxide, which oxygenates the blood, and telomerase, an enzyme that rejuvenates DNA.
•Exosome and stem cell therapy for healing and hair rejuvenation.
•PRP (Platelet-rich plasma): This therapy aids in joint healing and skin rejuvenation.
