Anxiety causes aging.  Ozone therapy is anti-aging treatment.  Second Nature Care.

This would make anyone anxious and anxiety creates shorter telomere length which is a known aging marker.  Find out how you can lower your anxiety, lengthen your telomeres and do anti-aging treatment all at the same time.  

The British Journal of Psychiatry has released results from a large study that connects anxiety disorders to shorter telomere length.  At Second Nature Care, we test your telomere length with an advanced test. Telomeres are specialized DNA complexes that cap the end of your chromosomes. They shorten with age and are indicators of cellular aging.

Not only do we offer testing we offer treatment to lengthen your telomeres and reverse the aging process.  

Shorter telomeres means accelerated aging.  

Anxiety and depression cause shorter telomere length.  Leukocyte telomere length correlated to weight, smoking, drinking alcohol and chronic diseases.  If you're underweight, overweight or obese you're telomeres are probably shorter.  A good reason to normalize your percentage of body fat and BMI markers. We specialize in permanent weight loss. Former and current smokers and heavy drinkers have shorter telomeres.  We have programs for smoking cessation and specific amino acid protocols for addressing addiction.  

Accelerated Aging

Telomeres are specialized DNA complexes that cap the ends of chromosomes. They shorten with age. They are considered an indicator of cellular aging. Our telomeres shorten at the rate of 14 b/p per year. If you have anxiety your telomeres can shorten up to 20 bp/year. Women had longer telomeres compared to men in this study. 

How does a shorter telomere affect my life?

If you suffer with anxiety and have shortened telomeres you could have accelerated aging of 3 to 5 years above your age group.  

Decreased oxygen utilization is the primary cause of aging and degenerative disease.  Decreased oxygen utilization creates free radicals and decreases your anti-oxidant buffering capacity. This destroys our mitochondria and keeps oxygen out of your cells suffocating them. 

Cellular aging is reversible with ozone therapy.  

If you're under chronic stress you are constantly producing increased cortisol, oxidative stress and proinflammatory chemicals that shorten your telomere length.  This disturbs your body's ability to handle stress over time.  If we address your anxiety we can normalize your body's ability to handle stress.
