    As you age your body’s ability to repair and generate new cells slows, which can increase your risk for a variety of diseases. Some types of anti-aging medicine aim to boost your body’s healing response, which slows the aging process. Additionally, the production of certain hormones decreases as we age, which can disrupt your health, energy levels, and quality of life.
