Clinical Age
Management
Welcome to the Lee-Benner Method! We have many treatment options that will
enable you to decide on a specific, individualized program that best suits your goal and
budget. You may choose to be in any one or all of the levels below. Because our program is
highly individualized, the levels listed may only serve as a general guidance to help you
with your decision. A specific course of treatment will be decided by you along with Dr.
Lee-Benner’s recommendation.
Level I: Self-Managed Care
This is the beginner level to our "Anti-Aging Program" and is the
only level that does not require an evaluation by the physician. This program optimizes
and balances your health through the use of diet, exercise, antioxidants, immune system
builders, and "smart nutrients". Please click here to learn more about our
dietary supplements for
self-guidance.

Level II: Comprehensive Evaluation
A comprehensive Anti-Aging
evaluation requires a complete neuroendocrine work-up. This consists of a
specific battery of laboratory studies (blood tests), a personal history,
physical and neurological evaluation. The Level II initial comprehensive
evaluation with Dr. Lee-Benner requires a full day of his time and expertise.
The preparation for this evaluation includes:
|
|
Laboratory Studies: consists of a neuroendocrinological panel. Please contact the
office so that the patient coordinator can provide you with the request form. These
initial studies should be done in the fasting state. No food other than water for 9 hours
prior to having your blood drawn. For your convenience, we do have a list of recommended
laboratories. However, you have the option of choosing your own. This panel will take
approximately 10 days to finalized all lab results. The cost of laboratory studies is not
included in this evaluation. It will vary depending upon the laboratory you use. Each
laboratory has its own policy regarding insurance.

|
The Patient Health History
Questionnaire: Please bring this completed form with you at
the time of your evaluation.
|
|
|
The Rate of Aging
Analysis: Please fill out the answer sheet and bring it with you at
the time of your evaluation.
|
|
|
Dr. Lee-Benner also requests that you provide us with any records of
pertinent medical
history at the time of your consultation.
|
The level II initial comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Lee-Benner requires a minimum
of six hours to complete, depending upon the complexity of your medical history and
current condition. At the end of the evaluation, you can expect to have a comprehensive
proposal of treatment options which will enable you to decide on a specific course of
treatment that best suits your individual needs, lifestyle and help you achieve your
personal goals.
Level III: Early
Disease Detection Program
We recommend this program to anyone over 30 years of age. A family history of
heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, chest pain, smoking or sedentary
lifestyle can make this program especially beneficial.
This is a two-day evaluation consisting of the following:
|
|
Comprehensive anti-aging
evaluation (Level II).
|
|
|
Early Disease Detection:
while the annual physical is still important, an early detection system
can uncover asymptomatic and often life-threatening disease generally not
detectable by physical exam or standard screening tests. This allows for
management of disease at earlier stages, where medical therapy and
treatment options are less costly and less invasive.
|
|
|
An in-depth 3-dimentional
non-invasive scan: a
computerized journey through your own body, from your the neck to your
pelvis. This comprehensive review includes: the heart and arteries,
identifying near-microscopic amounts of plaque; the lungs at the air cell
level showing the earliest stages of smoke damage, emphysema or lung
cancer; the breasts, providing invaluable information to women in early
breast cancer detection, augmenting the mammogram; the spine, evaluating
for osteoporosis, disc disease, and other back problems; internal organs
for detection of small tumors, stones, and cysts; aneurysms in the
abdominal and chest cavities; thyroid and parathyroid disease; uterine,
ovarian and prostate disease. This process of self-visualization is a
powerful motivational guidance system for making important life changes.

Patient Education,
Empowerment and Treatment Options:
The Lee-Benner
Institute will educate you about the disease and work along side with you
to help keep you on the right course towards optimum health. We will help
you meet your specific needs through our comprehensive range of services
and treatment options.
|
|
|
Unique Tracking Capability:
your data is stored electronically in our data base to assess your current
health and track it into the future. Comparison studies give you the
necessary feedback to stay on course with your therapy or make the
appropriate changes. Most importantly, this type of tracking will allow
you and your doctor to optimally manage the disease in order to alter or
reverse its course.

Note: Cost of CAT scan is
not included. Blue Cross, Blue Shield, HMO, and Medicare will not pay for this scan.
Cost of Scan is not included in this evaluation.
You will make no formal commitment as to
how long you will stay in the program. You may discontinue the service and withdraw from
the program at any time. However, please anticipate at least a year (12 months) stay in
the program to give yourself adequate time for evaluation. Your biologic age indicators
are monitored on a monthly basis. From these indicators, various conclusions about your
individual direction and strengths are determined. When certain thresholds are met, a
change in your program is indicated. Decisions are made and initiated by joint agreement
between you and Dr. Lee-Benner. Once the decision is made to make a change in your
program, further analysis will be necessary to determine the effect and length of time
needed to optimized your results.
This proprietary clinical age management
system, designed by Dr. Lee-Benner, based on your individual needs, has produced results
far in excess of the typical “hormone replacement programs” currently available.
Dr. Lee-Benner will review in detail his clinical age management results with prospective
new clients, including his own personal results, and may provide client references in
certain circumstances (allowing for confidentiality issues).
