Dr. Gunderson's thoughts:
"I believe that the medical paradigm in the 21st century will shift into prevention of chronic disease and life extension. The current health care model is flawed and based on a fix it when it is broken model. The emphasis is shifting to optimizing body composition. This will improve most medical conditions of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and elevated cholesterol levels. Bioidentical hormone replacement will become the norm to replace hormones that decline with the aging process. The modern diet will be cleaner, organic, and based on lean protein, carbohydrate intake from fruits and vegetables and the incorporation of healthy fats. The human body needs rest, stress reduction, moderate exercise and rational nutritional supplementation. The principles at Age Management Institute will slow aging, control inflammation and vastly improve quality of life. The Age Management Programs and Weight Management Programs provide outstanding results and are being endorsed by scores of health care professionals who are patients of the Age Management Institute."
