It is obvious to anyone over 40 that “we aren’t what we used to be.” When we go to the doctor with various minor complaints, we are usually told that we are “just getting older” and should expect the changes. At Waters Center for Biological Medicine, we understand the biochemical and physiological changes that cause the symptoms that appear as we get older – fatigue, achiness, joint and muscle pain, reduced ambition or motivation, loss of focus and just plain loss of the zest for living. These changes are caused by accumulated effects of oxidative damage (the gradual changes to our cell structures that occur from the effects of normal metabolic processes also known as free radicals) and the net damaging effects of environmental toxins which either generate more free radicals than we normally create from just being alive or use up our capacity to repair ongoing damage. In the past century, our bodies are experiencing insults from devitalized foods and a variety of environmental chemicals and electromagnetic exposure never experienced by our ancestors over the past thousands of years.
The results of these changes in our foods and toxic exposures are both deficiencies of essential nutrients and premature aging secondary to various toxins. In the end, we are losing our vigor earlier than we have in the past. While we can’t totally escape the changes that occur in our bodies as a result of the march of time, we can mitigate and even reverse the underlying processes that lead to the resulting signs and symptoms.
At Waters Center for Biological Medical Center we evaluate your health status through the traditional methods of a careful history and physical examination. In addition, we perform laboratory evaluations directed to understand and treat your nutritional deficiencies and potential toxicities. In most cases, this involves measurement of your endocrine hormones status.
After all of your data is accumulated, we design a nutritional program to maximize your health and prevent the long-term consequences of aging.All of us want to remain vigorous into our 80s and 90s and most importantly, live independently and avoid spending our last days in a nursing home. Changes in diet and lifestyle can make a huge difference in how we age. Our programs can assist you in “aging gracefully.”

Tailored to you.We look at symptoms and complaints, your medical history, your family history, your diet and your lifestyle. He gets to the bottom of the issues, not just treat the symptoms. We don’t get too hung up on “diagnoses” but rather work on restoring health. He also looks extensively at diet and digestion as a basis to most medical issues; we promote a low carb, grain-free, sugar-free diet with focus on eating real food, limited processed food.
When a new patient comes to see Dr. Waters for the first time, he does a history, physical and consultation that lasts about 1½ hour, and included in your consult is a session with our structural therapist for about 30 minutes. We require a series of laboratory testing that includes lipids, liver/kidney functions, electrolytes, iron status, blood sugar status, urinalysis, in-depth thyroid function, vitamin D level, DHEA, cortisol level and mineral analysis. There will be additional tests needed based on what he finds during the consultation, such as hormones, heavy metals, digestive analysis, cardiac analysis, Lyme testing, anti-aging marker, etc. (these are done on an as-needed basis). Read more about our comprehensive laboratory testing here. Treatment plans are individualized for each patient. There will be specific diet changes, nutritional supplements, sometimes prescription medications and IV treatments and/or Low Dose Antigen Therapy depending on the findings. Treatments will be explained and quoted after he writes the order. |
