Health Clubs Transition to the Era of Age Management Health Clubs and Gyms Can Now Offer Members An Age Management Program Using Advanced DNA Technology

Story Capsule: In the next few years every health club is going to be offering personal genetic nutrition and personal genetic age management programs because they are available and baby boomers will demand it. Two of the largest industries in the boomer demographic are the vitamin/mineral supplement industry and the "age management" or anti-aging industry. A recent study forecasts that by 2011 it will be a 120 billion-dollar- a-year industry that will grow exponentially each year. This incredible growth is due to the aging of the baby boomer population. Wishing to hold on to their youthful vitality, boomers will buy products from both the supplements market and the age management market. Suracell is a genetically based nutraceutical program that tailors the optimal delivery of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and special DNA repair substances in ideal dosages, based on an individuals' unique DNA profile. The industry is here, the demographics are here, the growth is here…and the science has just arrived.

Addressing the Phenomenon of Aging.

To date there have been several proclaimed "fountains of youth" ranging from aerobic exercise to anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation diets, each with measurable degrees of success. But recent science has discovered that aging actually begins with the breakdown of the body's DNA replication system.

Suracell has introduced an Age Management Program that allows health club members to preserve their health and youthful vigor by repairing their damaged DNA and thus slowing down the aging process. Based on an individual's unique needs and DNA, the program offers personalized nutraceuticals for optimal aging, wellness and an enriched quality of life.

Recent science has revealed that age management is really about using the genes we've inherited to their optimal potential, so that we can live a longer, healthier and better quality life.

Arlene Surek also of New Jersey is both a nutrition counselor and loyal user of Suracell and she lauded its overall health effects. "There's definitely an energy level change, I don't hit the wall in the afternoon anymore. It's sustained energy throughout the day, and I'm sleeping better." She said, "I have a lot of my clients on the Suracell program too. They've experienced really good results. People have said things like, their hair looks better, their nails are stronger, and their skin looks better. The improved sleep is a big factor, it's critical to overall wellness"

Breakthrough in Age Management

Dr. Vincent Giampapa, the first board certified anti-aging physician stands in front of a DNA molecule. DNA repair is the basis for scientific age management.

The DNA itself and the cells it controls are no longer perfect copies but damaged copies. This begins the degradation of functioning cells that is commonly referred to as aging. Many age-related diseases are also attributed to this occurrence. According to Dr. Vincent Giampapa, M.D., age management specialist and founder of Suracell, "The more damage to your DNA, the more rapidly you age. That's been shown with animals, and now has actually been shown to be directly related to human tumors and cancer."

Dr. Giampapa, a medical doctor for 25 years, was the first board certified anti-aging physician in the world. He has been focusing on age management since he co-founded the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine 15 years ago. His recently refined approach to age management has been made possible by the completion of the human genome project.

A blueprint of the human genome, or double helix DNA molecule, was completed in April 2003 and was hailed as one of the most significant scientific accomplishments of all time. Humans have some 3 billion DNA nucleotides. But what's even more important is that in October 2005, a map of genetic variations was created. This map identifies genes that cause premature aging and age related diseases. The measurement of these genes forms the basis of Suracell's DNA detection and repair program.

Age Management Supplementation is an Ideal Addition for Health Clubs and Gyms

Dave and Vicki Karlin, owners of the Europa Medi-Spa in Boca Raton, Florida, have been Suracell resellers for the past year and have 200 clients on the program. According to Dave Karlin, "My clientele are willing to invest the money and effort it takes to dramatically improve their health, …I've found that if they are supplement takers already, they're more likely to become a Suracell client."

An analogy of the Suracell program is that it's similar to personal training. With personal training, an exercise program is tailored to the specific make-up of the individual client. Similarly, Suracell recommends a very specific supplement program for each individual. It's much more efficient than having people who are not nutritional experts buy multiple bottles of supplements in a shotgun approach and hope they've selected the right ones.

Dr. Giampapa is an avid supporter of exercise as a keystone to any age management program. In fact he exercises religiously and actually holds a 4th degree black belt in karate. As he explains, "Nutrition was pretty much where the health club industry was before personal trainers came out. Everybody went there and hoped to do their best. In essence, what we've done is to give them a gene diagnostic and to give them personal direction. If you buy the fact that personal trainers are good for the exercise world, you've got to buy the fact that personal genetic tests are equally as important."

Nutraceuticals as a Complement To Exercise

Suracell is an ideal complement to sustained exercise. In fact some of Dr. Giampapa's earliest patients were body builders. During strenuous exercise the body spawns four to five times the amount of free radicals than it normally does. Unless neutralized, these free radicals will lead to premature aging and other cellular damage.

The addition of an ethical nutraceuticals program allows health clubs to offer "total wellness" to its members.

"Once you've crossed the barrier into regular exercise, the next thing is to know what your genes are and start to supplement those genes with what they need to work better. The missing piece of that equation is getting the information about the internals of your DNA. With exercise and proper DNA-targeted supplementation, you really have everything you need to live to your maximum genetic potential and improve the quality of your life and the quality of every day that you live."

Nutraceuticals as a Complement To Weight Loss

Since it makes the body more sensitive to insulin, this supplement will then pull in that insulin, lower the blood sugar and allow it to burn body fat off more efficiently. With the aerobic workouts they're doing, members are burning their calories, but between their workouts, they will also be burning more body fat.
