Beverly Rubik: Anti-Aging and Longevity: The Slippery Slope From Wellness to Disease and How to Prevent It Futurehealth WinterBrain Panel Plenary presentation by Beverly Rubik Long before chronic degenerative disease sets in, the typical aging adult slowly slips down the slope from optimal wellness into "functional" disorders. These typically include one or more of the following: fatigue, pain, disturbed sleep, immune dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, digestive disturbances, food intolerances, multiple allergies, etc. Functional disorders are often dismissed as "aging", but we offer another perspective. We will reconsider these in light of ancient and state-of-the-art anti-aging and longevity practices and how functional disorders can be reversed with improved diet and nutritional supplements, photostimulation, appropriate exercise, ancient Oriental health practices, and more.
