Can You Live to Be 100?
Yes, with the right medical approach, living to 100 is no longer a distant dream. Anti-aging research and advanced telomere testing now make it possible to reverse cellular aging, slow biological decline, and prevent age-related diseases before they appear. At Next Health in Ashburn, VA and Bethesda, MD, Dr. Habib has been helping patients extend their healthy lifespan since 2001 using cutting-edge longevity medicine, biological age testing, and personalized anti-aging programs that go far beyond anything available in conventional medicine.
Anti-aging research has made it possible to reverse cellular aging, increase longevity and prevent age-related diseases.
Groundbreaking research into the effects of aging on cellular DNA is now used by progressive integrative physicians to help patients live longer, healthier lives. Since 2001, Dr. Habib has been pioneering programs to reverse aging, resulting in better health and a lower incidence of disease.
Find Out How Well You Are Aging
Telomere testing is one of the most powerful tools in modern longevity medicine. Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer do their job, just as without telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and our cells can’t do their job. Patients can find out their biological age versus their chronological age with telomere testing. Dr. Habib uses the most accurate telomere tests to see how well a patient’s body is aging, and to predict disease.
This is directly connected to our DNA Age program, which uses the same cellular science to give patients a precise picture of how fast their body is truly aging.
Lengthen Your Telomeres and Add Years to Your Life
The percentage of short telomeres is a precise indicator of cellular aging and overall health. It can show when cellular aging is advancing faster than the person’s actual age. Short telomere length has also been linked to the development of age-related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Dr. Habib conducts a telomere analysis to measure the percentage of short telomeres in a person’s body. He uses custom programs that include detoxification, nutrition and antioxidants to increase telomere length, which results in increased longevity and helps prevent age-related disease.
To date, Dr. Habib has been able to reverse patients’ cellular age by up to ten years, using precise treatment algorithms, as confirmed by post-treatment tests.
Patients undergoing this program often combine it with our Longevity Evaluation and Bio Age testing for a complete picture of biological health across every major body system.
Why is Telomere Testing Important?
There is no other way to know how fast your cells are aging. Scientific evidence shows that critically short telomeres contribute to age-related diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, infertility, arthritis, dementia, infection and multiple types of cancer.
For patients in Ashburn VA, Bethesda MD, and across the Washington DC and DMV area, telomere testing near you is now available directly at Next Health with full interpretation and a custom treatment plan from Dr. Habib.
Who Should Do Telomere Testing?
People with a family history of arthritis, diabetes, cancer or dementia, or those with signs of premature aging should receive telomere testing. It is also a good test for people who have been experiencing a lot of stress in life, or who want to proactively prevent chronic disease.
Telomere testing is also a core component of our Executive Physical, where Dr. Habib uses up to fifteen advanced diagnostic tests to build a comprehensive roadmap for long-term health.
Is It Possible to Reverse Aging?
“Yes!” says Dr. Habib. “Groundbreaking research in 2009 on telomeres proved that it is possible.”
He creates a custom treatment plan for each patient that addresses lifestyle, nutrition, environmental and hereditary factors. In addition, Dr. Habib uses liver detoxification and antioxidant therapy, revealed in the 2009 research to be powerful agents in reversing DNA age.
Accelerate Recovery, Perform Better, Increase Longevity
Gain explosive power, endurance, accelerated recovery and pain elimination with the Next Health Athletic Performance Program.
Dr. Habib uses cutting-edge medicine to repair sports injuries and boost athletic performance. Next Health treats many professional, college and high-school athletes, including Redskins players, as well as serious amateurs.
The Next Health Difference
“There are many sports physicians and therapists around, so we are often asked why an athlete should come to Next Health.” says Dr. Habib. “The answer is that we have ALL the cutting-edge tools available, and the athlete can have access to any type of sports therapist needed, right here in our office.” The process starts with a thorough evaluation of the injury or area of lessened performance. Dr. Habib uses evidenced-based tests to assess what needs to be done to repair the injury and increase performance.
These assessments include tests for nutrient depletions, dysfunctions in body systems and the amount of inflammation. Dr. Habib prepares a custom treatment program for the athlete. The program always addresses the four steps he has found are necessary for successful recovery and performance boost:
- Optimize cell and mitochondrial function for greater energy availability.
- Turn off inflammation in the injury area, as well as anywhere else in the body. Inflammation can noticeably pervade other body systems, impede recovery and reduce performance.
- Trigger the body’s own regenerative processes for rapid and long-lasting recovery.
- Provide a plan for the athlete to regain and maintain optimum health.
Regenerative Medicine
Ultimately, a good sports physician needs to stimulate the cells in the body to regenerate and rejuvenate. Dr. Habib does this through a variety of regenerative therapies.
Nutritional Sensitivities and Deficiencies Treatment
Dr. Habib found that athletes with recurrent injuries or slow recovery had adverse reactions to certain foods, and demonstrated multiple nutritional deficiencies. Without the correct amounts of nutrients necessary for metabolism, the body cannot heal properly. Dr. Habib does molecular and biochemical analysis to detect nutrient deficiencies and sensitivities. He uses IV vitamin therapy, targeted supplementation and diet to remedy the deficiencies and sensitivities and to boost power and endurance.
IV Vitamin Infusions: The most powerful way to provide the vitamins needed for fast recovery is through a course of IV vitamin therapy infusions.
Peptide Therapy: Dr. Habib uses peptides, amino acids that signal the production of growth hormones, to speed healing of soft tissue injuries.
Prolozone: Prolozone is a therapy designed to regenerate tissues of damaged joints and relieve pain. It is made up of a combination of anti-inflammatory substances, vitamins, minerals and ozone gas.
Prolotherapy: Prolotherapy, short for proliferation therapy, consists of injections of regenerative substances that repair injured and painful joint areas, such as PRP – platelet-rich plasma. These substances stimulate the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.
Ozone Therapy: Ozone is a form of oxygen that can be used to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation and increase oxygen in the muscles.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: For a major healing boost, Dr. Habib’s patients can opt for full immersion in an oxygen chamber — Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Infrared Sauna: The deep, penetrating heat from an infrared sauna relaxes tendons and muscles, reduces pain from injury and speeds healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really live to be 100?
Yes. Modern longevity medicine including telomere testing, biological age analysis, advanced diagnostics, and personalized anti-aging programs has made it medically possible to slow and in many cases reverse the cellular processes that cause aging. Dr. Habib at Next Health in Ashburn VA has been helping patients extend their healthy lifespan since 2001, using tools and treatment protocols that most conventional physicians are unaware even exist.
What does telomere testing tell you?
Telomere testing measures the length of the protective caps on your DNA strands to determine your biological age versus your chronological age. Short telomere length is directly linked to accelerated aging and increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, dementia, and other age-related diseases. At Next Health, Dr. Habib uses the most accurate available telomere tests to assess how fast a patient is aging and to predict disease risk years in advance.
Can telomere length be reversed or increased?
Yes. Dr. Habib uses custom programs involving detoxification, nutrition, antioxidant therapy, and advanced longevity protocols to increase telomere length. To date, he has been able to reverse patients’ cellular age by up to ten years, as confirmed by post-treatment telomere testing. This makes telomere testing in Ashburn VA and Bethesda MD at Next Health one of the most actionable anti-aging tools available in the DMV area.
How does biological age differ from chronological age?
Your chronological age is simply the number of years you have been alive. Your biological age measured through telomere length, DNA methylation, organ function markers, and other advanced tests reflects how old your body actually is at a cellular level. Many patients discover their biological age is significantly older or younger than their chronological age. This gap is both measurable and changeable, which is the foundation of Dr. Habib’s longevity medicine approach at Next Health.
