Beyond DIY: My Top 10 Anti-Aging Tips to Improve your Healthspan & Performance

For those seeking deeper solutions in their anti-aging journey, I'd like to share my list of top 10 anti-aging medications and energy devices that will ensure that you will age with agency. These anti-aging treatments go hand-in-hand with healthy lifestyle habits that you practice daily. 

  1. Neuromodulators: I always emphasize that anti-aging your skin—the largest organ of your body—is crucial, especially its most exposed parts, like your face. Neuromodulators, such as Botox, are some of the fastest-acting medications that can reverse the effects of time on your face when applied correctly. If anti-aging were a dish created for your body, Botox and similar treatments would be essential seasoning. I like to call it “salt in the dish of your anti-aging.” I believe in microdoses and often use simple phrases like “Salt to taste” or “less is more” as safe mantras for those seeking longevity. Neuromodulators work by relaxing facial muscles, reducing wrinkles that can etch into the skin over time. This helps preserve a youthful appearance and maintain a psychological connection with younger versions of yourself.
  2. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: I refer to HA fillers as the “special spice” in your anti-aging routine. These injectable treatments restore the underlying padding of your skin, rebuilding facial volume. This not only improves appearance but also supports emotional well-being tied to self-image.
  3. GLP-1 Agonists: Among the best longevity medications, GLP-1 agonists are a class of drugs that help manage chronic conditions associated with aging, such as weight gain and diabetes. I believe these will become a staple supplement for those seeking strict metabolic control.
  4. Skin Anti-Aging Treatments: Your skin isn’t just the largest organ—it continues to grow throughout your life! After menopause, this growth isn’t sufficiently supported, leading to collagen and elastin loss, which causes sagging. You often see this chronic skin failure most clearly on your face, and when it gets too severe, some people turn to cosmetic surgery.Your facial skin is deeply connected to your brain. In fact, during embryonic development, both your skin and brain cells come from the same tissue layer, the neuro-ectoderm. I like to call them “eternal soulmates,” connected by ancestral DNA. Your skin cells need constant external support to maintain structure and elasticity. Thankfully, in the U.S. and Europe, there are incredible energy-based devices, FDA-cleared and approved for non-surgical skin management. These devices harness light and sound to rejuvenate skin architecture, preventing premature disintegration as you face time and gravity. I believe your skin is the true holder of your consciousness, requiring persistent care and attention. The future of skincare lies in specialists like me who tailor non-invasive energy therapies to heal your skin without cutting into it.
  5. Pelvic Health: Anti-aging doesn’t stop at your face. Your body has two “faces”—the one between your shoulders (public-facing) and your pelvic face (private). Aging reduces blood flow, causing vital organs to deteriorate. In the past decade, FDA-cleared treatments like CO2 lasers, shockwave therapy, and Emsella (the “Kegel throne”) have emerged. These promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), supporting pelvic and sexual health for those experiencing menopause or andropause symptoms like urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, or reduced libido.
  6. Lymphatic Release via Vibration Therapies: While regular massages are great, they aren’t always feasible. Vibration therapies can help improving well-being. 
  7. relieve lymphatic blockages and benefit conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
  8. Immune Modulation with Biologics: During menopause and andropause, your immune system faces challenges, as it’s overwhelmed by rapidly dying tissue. Biologic treatments act as “night vision goggles” for your immune system, helping it repair and regulate cellular functions linked to aging.
  9. Intravenous Supplements: Your anti-aging routine is incomplete without IV supplements. I’ve curated special infusion cocktails for over nine years, delivering essential nutrients directly into the body. These are particularly valuable during perimenopause and menopause, and I foresee them becoming a standard in longevity protocols.
  10. Oral Supplements: Not all supplements can be administered intravenously. Fat-soluble vitamins like A-D-K combinations and brain-enhancing mushrooms (e.g., lion’s mane, reishi, chaga) must be taken orally. These nourish cognition and enhance memory, supporting your brain’s ability to absorb information.
  11. Psychedelics: Pain is a part of life, but suffering is optional. While still under FDA review, psychedelics show promise in alleviating mental and emotional challenges linked to aging, such as chronic pain and depression. They may become transformative tools for releasing trauma and 

These medical-grade advances don’t replace healthy habits but work in sync with lifestyle i
