Healthy Aging

The latest buzzword in preventative medicine is "Anti-Aging" or "Healthy-Aging" as Franck's Pharmacy prefers to refer to this process. Once we are hit with the "big 40" birthday, the basal metabolic rate begins to decrease. The fat cells increase, muscle mass decreases and fewer calories are burned on a daily basis. In fact, our caloric requirement to maintain body weight decreases every ten years.

The key to living life to the fullest is to focus on healthy living. Franck's Pharmacy is committed to helping individuals learn how to live HEALTHY! Education on the following topics is recommended for the purpose of personal longevity, disease prevention and reduced healthcare costs:

• Compounded Medications:
  • Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapies (BHRT)
  • Customized skin care formulas
  • Custom dietary supplements
  • Vitamin Injections for energy and weight management
• Hormone Testing: When the aging process appears to have accelerated in your body, perhaps your hormones are declining at a more rapid rate or they are simply out of balance. Whatever the case may be, you can evaluate your hormones with the help of your medical practitioner and determine whether BHRT is the right solution for you! See more about Salivary Hormone Testing.
• Wellness Screenings: For prevention, schedule a variety of wellness screenings to monitor your health. An annual physical is also recommended.
