Age Management, Hormone Rebalancing & Lifestyle Medicine: A Personalized Approach
Achieving Optimal Health – Beyond “Normal”
Do you want to feel and function at your best—now and for years to come? Dr. Sweeney’s personalized Age Management approach helps men and women take control of their health and vitality through mid and later stages of life. With a holistic strategy that combines the art of hormone balancing integrated with Lifestyle Medicine and by proactively evaluating and managing the risks of premature disability and degenerative disease, you can slow or even reverse aspects of the aging process. You will receive a tailored plan designed specifically for you. If you are in midlife or later, partner with an experienced clinician who understands that optimal health is not about accepting ‘normal’ aging—it’s about thriving.
Why Age Management with Dr. Maureen Sweeney
I have spent many years doing what I love to do. In 2003, I named my medical practice LIVE YOUNG with the spirit of exactly that: working with patients to live life while staying young in health.
At Live Young Medical, age management is a collaborative partnership. You bring your goals, concerns, and life realities; I bring the latest evidence, deep clinical experience, and a boutique practice that allows me to get to know every patient.
Modern medicine has added years to the average life; my focus is your healthspan—the years you remain energetic, clear-minded, mobile, and fully engaged.
My approach:
• Deep dive into how you feel and function. We explore your health and quality of life past and present, and the role your family’s health might play in your own.
• Proactive testing. Comprehensive metabolic and hormonal panels reveal the earliest signs of age-related change— which can start in our 30s and 40s, when insulin resistance or perimenopausal shifts first appear.
• Body-composition focus. Excess body fat amplifies the risk for almost every chronic disease, from heart disease and type 2 diabetes to dementia, certain cancers and osteoarthritis. Fine-tuning metabolism and body composition is woven into every plan.
Symptoms often act as early warning lights:
• Severity of hot flashes are linked to a higher future risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Erectile dysfunction can surface three to five years before Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and may signal future heart issues.
• Mood changes may not always be the sign of a disorder; in some instances they can be symptoms of shifting hormone functioning.
By treating these clues seriously, we can intervene long before certain diseases take hold.
Your program may include:
• Tailored nutrition you can live with
• Targeted movement that fits your structure and schedule
• Restorative-sleep strategies
• Practical stress-regulation tools
• Precisely calibrated hormone health interventions with close monitoring
• Early intervention for the risk factors for disease and dysfunction.
My role is clear: add life to your years, so you can live fully—with greater confidence and lasting health—for decades to come.
