Dr Braverman -- You're only as young as your oldest part

This fortnight we have an interview with Dr Braverman following his speech at the Anti-Aging Medicine Congress in Chicago where he discussed advanced diagnostic testing. You're only as young as your oldest part so the trick is to test and find that part. Computers can give a better physical than a human could by spotting diseases at a molecular level before they even reach the cellular level. These problems can be found with a head to toe transcranial ultrasound. Problems can then be found and treated with hormones, nutritients, diet, change of lifestyle and drug therapy if needed.
