FAQ

What is Angel Longevity Medical Center?

Angel Longevity Medical Center is a functional medicine center specializing in anti-aging medical services such as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement and the treatment of autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. Dr, Anju Mathur, our founder, has years of experience in the use of alternative medicine and has helped thousands of patients return to a much healthier and robust quality of life. She believes in finding and addressing the root cause of health problems, not the treatment symptoms. She also believes each patient is unique and thus specializes in the creation of personally tailored wellness programs with the range of medical services offered.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical hormones are the same hormones produced in the body, molecule by molecule. Derived mostly from plant material and modified in a lab, they are natural and accepted by the body because they identically match its own hormones.

What services do you offer?

We offer a wide variety of medical services aimed at helping our patients regain their health and youthful vitality. We are specialists in anti-aging services such as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for men and women. Additionally, we specialize in treatment services that get to the root cause of chronic diseases and auto-immune disorders. These include personalized nutritional programs, IV Therapies and natural hormone replacement therapy.

How are IV therapies beneficial to the body?

Unfortunately the foods we eat and the compromised condition of most people’s digestive system leads to a problem of getting the body what it needs to rebuild and repair itself. IV Therapy is intended to bypass the digestive system and bring mega doses of much-needed vitamin, mineral and/or essential fats to aid in the repair and healing of the body. Our patients benefit greatly from IV Therapies from our list of medical services.

What is chelation therapy?

Chelation therapy delivers powerful antioxidants (EDTA) into the bloodstream intravenously to help remove plaque and calcium buildup from the arteries and veins, increasing blood circulation and reducing the risk of vascular disease.

How does the weight management program work?

Angel Longevity Medical Center customizes a weight loss and fitness plan for each individual that will help maintain a healthy weight. We design a program centered around balancing hormone levels, good nutrition, and proper physical activity to achieve an overall sense of wellbeing and health.

Are the physicians at Angel Longevity Medical Center experts?

Yes, all the doctors at Angel Longevity Medical Center are board certified and considered experts in their field. Dr. Anju Mathur is board certified in Anti-Aging Medicine and has helped hundreds of people achieve a better quality and quantity of life.

Are there any side effects to any of these therapies?

Fortunately, all the therapies we use are natural. Therefore, the risk of any side effects is quite minimal and in most cases nonexistent. However, there are contraindications to some of our IV Therapies and that is why it is essential to have a doctor’s consultation before having any IV Therapy. Our professional staff are proud to say that because of their professionalism and expertise our patients enjoy the best of what our therapies have to offer without experiencing any unnecessary side effects.

What kind of laboratory testing does Angel Longevity Medical Center conduct?

We offer a wide variety of testing for our patients. We use blood, urine, saliva and stool tests as needed to diagnose and treat your problems. We also refer out to specialists to perform additional tests as necessary. Our testing is very thorough and precise and Dr. Mathur is expert in the interpretation of your tests and using them to create individual treatment programs from our medical services.

Does hormone replacement therapy actually slow down the aging process?

Hormone therapy is designed to rebalance hormones to a more youthful level, return your vitality and help you enjoy the highest quality of life for the longest period of time. The aging process is sped up by a number of additional factors such as nutrition, environmental stress and spiritual and emotional stress. Our approach for those patients who truly want to slow down the aging process is not to only balance hormone levels but improve the patient’s overall health by addressing all the factors that speed us to poor health and premature old age.

Do you take insurance?

This is probably our most commonly asked question. The simple answer is that we do not bill insurance. We do use a lab for certain blood tests that accepts virtually all insurance. However, we use several different labs depending on the test needed and not all of them accept insurance. For our non-lab related charges, we do provide a superbill which our patients can submit to their insurance carrier for reimbursement and depending on the insurance coverage many of our patients receive reimbursement on a good portion of their treatment.

Dr. Mathur’s decision to not bill insurance is a decision that has not come lightly. The bottom line is she has made a choice that her patient’s health is more important than their insurance coverage. The hard cold truth is once you become an insurance based practice the insurance industry dictates what you charge, what treatment protocol is acceptable etc. What effectively happens is the insurance industry dictates your health care not your doctor. One prime example of this is the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Dr. Mathur is a highly trained specialist in this field and she firmly believes that specially compounded Bioidentical Hormones are far superior to synthetic hormones. However, insurance will not cover BHRT. So the choice is to do something that is detrimental to the health of the patient in order to collect insurance or do what is right for the patient. Dr. Mathur has made her business philosophy based on what is best for the patient.

We do understand that having to pay cash can be a hardship on our patients as many are used to going to doctors who accept insurance. However, what we find is the vast majority of those doctors, because of their training and the insurance orientation of their practice, are very limited in what they are able to do for their patients and the patient suffers health wise.

This is unacceptable to us. We want you well. In the long run coming to our practice and getting back to health is the most economical thing you can do. The statistics show very clearly that the out of pocket expense for people with insurance is going up and up because they are not really getting well. Our model is to get to the basic cause of your problem and get you back to a state of wellness where you do not need to continue to see a doctor due to deterioration of your health over time.

Take our alternative medicine challenge. Come see us, get back to health and see for yourself that even if your insurance ends up not covering anything that getting healthier and staying healthy ends up saving you money in the long run.

Why Choose Integrative Medicine?

When seeking to manage health, there are many paths that you could take. Modern medicine seeks to treat symptoms. When you have an infection, it prescribes antibiotics. When you have pain, it gives you a pill to dull the pain. At Angel Longevity, we take a completely different approach. We believe in finding the root of underlying health conditions and treating your body as an integrated system. Our goal is to treat you as a whole person, and helping your achieve health for your body, mind, and spirit.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a holistic method of healthcare, blending both the western and eastern traditions. We use the best of western medicine and combine it with ancient eastern medical traditions. Integrative medicine is a patient-first approach to treating the whole individual. The focus is upon identifying the cause of underlying health issues. From anxiety and fatigue to pain management, we seek to help you feel well and allow your body’s systems to function as a harmonious unit.

What are the Principles of Integrative Medicine?

At Angel Longevity, Dr. Anju Mathur creates a personalized strategy unique to each patient and their individual needs. That strategy includes:

  • Creating a partnership between doctor and patient to foster the healing process
  • Understanding all of the factors that influence wellness including body, mind, spirit, and community
  • The use of both traditional and alternative medicine to complete the wellness journey
  • Examining both traditional and alternative methodologies with a critical eye
  • Promoting overall health in order to prevent new health conditions from arising
  • Both partners committing to a practice of self-exploration and self-development

How Can I Benefit from Integrative Medicine?

At the core of integrative medicine is a partnership between the doctor and the patient. Integrative medicine requires you to fully participate in your wellness journey, learning to make lifestyle choices which will benefit your overall health. While some forms of medicine seek to suppress medical conditions or symptoms, integrative medicine seeks to find the cause of that condition and remedy it at the root. Integrative medicine can successfully treat chronic issues such as asthma, allergies, or pain. It seeks to bring your entire body into balance and optimize your health.

Why Are Painkillers the Wrong Approach?

Living with chronic pain can make life intolerable. Painkillers simply dull your nervous system’s response to the cause of the pain. In integrative medicine, we understand that pain is the body’s signal that something is wrong. The initial step is to fully understand why the pain is occurring, so the underlying condition or illness can be treated.

How Does Integrative Medicine Treat Pain?

In addition to treating the symptom of pain, integrative medicine goes a step further to the “why.” Why is pain occurring? Integrative medicine uses alternative therapies that treat the entire body. Treatment plans which include a whole-body approach and methods such as detoxification, rejuvenation, and revitalization can often alleviate the origin of the pain and allow you to live your life to the fullest. Exercise, physical therapy, talk therapy, and non-opioid painkillers have all been shown to be beneficial in managing long-term pain.

Is Integrative Medicine Beneficial for Athletes?

Yes! Integrative medicine’s whole-body approach to health allows Dr. Mathur to identify potential weak points in your health so that they may be addressed before they worsen. Additionally, athletes are frequently plagued by old or recurring injuries. Integrative medicine allows for the cause of the condition to be addressed, increasing your range of motion, stamina, and strength following these injuries to get you back to peak performance. Integrative medicine uses practices such as acupuncture, massage therapy, hypnosis, guided imagery, and reiki in order to help you perform at your best.

Why Should I Choose Dr. Mathur for Integrative Medicine?

Dr. Anju Mathur’s career in general medicine began through traditional means. She quickly found that traditional western medicine was not enough to allow her patients to achieve optimum health and wellbeing. With integrative medicine, Dr. Mathur creates individualized plans for each of her patients allowing them to address chronic health issues, while seeking health for body, mind, and spirit. Her goal is to allow men and women to lead longer, healthier, happier lives through the use of alternative therapies, seeking traditional pharmaceuticals only when necessary. Allow Dr. Mathur to guide you on a journey that to attain optimal health.

If you are interested in this new blood test to find out what the overall state of your immune system is like, you should contact us right away and make an appointment.

Our doctor has also prepared a special message for you:

Update March, 16th:

In recent weeks we have all seen the news about the Coronavirus and even worse, we have seen blatantly threatening news reports, and our friends and family scared out of their wits.

I urge you not to panic. If you are not sure what to do, contact us and we will help you.

Coronavirus is real, but for healthy people it is not a death sentence. The mortality rate is only relatively high in immune compromised people or with other medical issues. Per Dr. SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, “Viruses are NOT what kill & harm us (trillions of them in & around us) - rather the over-reaction of a weak & dysfunctional immune system caused by “underlying pre-existing conditions””… “CDCgov can bring CoronaVirus to its knees fast & stop deaths of seniors & immunocompromised by AT LEAST EQUAL emphasis- NOW - on specific foods & supplements to STRENGTHEN our Immune Systems.”

The best and right thing to do is to build up your immune system to be more resistant. In addition to high dose vitamin C, major autohemotherapy, and ultraviolet blood irradiation intravenous therapy, we are putting together our anti-viral supplement package for you. Call us for details.

Until then, we recommend you use very good hygiene practices:

  1. Wash your hands for 40 seconds with soap and hot water.
  2. Wear a mask if you are sick, coughing or sneezing, or have mucus. (Change mask every day).
  3. Wipe down your phone and doorknobs.
  4. Do not touch your face (eyes, nose, mouth).
  5. Use chemical-free anti-bacterial sprays and wipes (you can use essential oils, apple cider vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide)

Also, I want to share a wonderful anti-viral tea recipe:

Anti Viral TEA Recipe by Dr Mathur

Ingredients:

  1. Fresh Grated Ginger-3 Tablespoons
  2. black whole kernels peppercorns- 20-30 pieces
  3. Cinnamon Stick- 1
  4. Black Cloves- 5-8.

Place all of the above ingredients in 3 cups of water and then boil for 20-30 minutes until the water turns black. Then strain it and drink it with some coconut or Almond milk and palm sugar or stevia.

Remember, these symptoms are treatable. You do not have to freak out. Be smart, keep your immune system healthy.

If you do contract the virus, let us know. Don’t panic, we are here for you.

Find facts instead of hysteria here.

John Hopkins reports 70,000 people have recovered worldwide.

Highest percentage of deaths are from immunocompromised patients and patients over 80 years old.
