Dr Gruenn offers a wide variety of innovative therapies, which are on the leading edge of conventional and complementary medicine.

Anti-Aging Medicine has many goals…

… some of them, like extending the maximum lifespan, of about 120 years, are not yet within our reach. But many are realistic and worth striving for:

Who wouldn’t like to delay the onset of aging and to extend the years we live healthily and in good shape?

Who wouldn’t like to live longer and beyond the average lifespan of currently about 80 years?

Who wouldn’t like to prevent the diseases that frequently come with advanced age, like memory loss, fatigue, heart disease, stroke, cancer or arthritis?

How do we move towards these goals? Here are some of the essential steps:

1 Prevent Premature Aging

The first and most important step in Anti-Aging Medicine is good old prevention. How do you answer the following questions?


Is my diet healthy, low in sugar and trans-fatty acids, high in vegetables and with the optimal amount of protein?

Am I overeating? Caloric restriction has been shown to extend age and to prevent cancer in mammals, although its effect is yet unproven in humans?

Do I suffer from Hyperinsulinism? A high fasting Insulin level promotes premature aging, even in non-diabetics.

Do I have a toxic lifestyle -smoking, too much alcohol, drugs- or am I exposed to environmental toxins?

Am I chronically stressed, which causes an elevation of Cortisol and a decline in DHEA?

Do I get enough sleep? Most people need 7 to 8 hours, which cannot be reduced without negative consequences.

Do I exercise enough or possibly even over-exercise?

Do I feel depressed, isolated or does my life lack meaning?
2. Take Antioxidants:

Denham Harman is the father of the free radical theory of aging. Put simply: oxidation, which constantly goes on in our body, produces unpaired electrons, so-called free radicals, which damage various cell structures, like DNA, RNA, and proteins. Exogenous antioxidants, which are taken in with food or as nutritional supplements should therefore slow aging.

3. Hormone Replacement:

As we age, the body produces less and less hormones; a process that, by the way, starts already in the 20s. For example, our levels of DHEA, Growth Hormone, Melatonin and sex hormones steadily decline from decade to decade. In addition, aging cells become more and more resistant to the effects of hormones. That leads, according to the neuroendocrine theory of aging, to a hormonal starvation of our cells. Without sufficient hormones, the body’s ability to repair and regulate itself is impaired. Hormone replacement therapy is therefore thought to reset the hormonal clock, delay the onset of aging and provide vitality and energy.

Like everything in medicine, a hormone replacement has to be individualized, and the potential risks and benefits have to be taken into account. If you are considering a hormone replacement program, you first need to get a lab test to determine your current hormone levels.
