+advitam® is an extension of the Shafer Clinic, where the focus is on metabolic optimization. Our programs assist patients in restoring optimal cellular functions by targeting specific cell signaling pathways. By fine-tuning these pathways we can help restore the metabolic functions of the body. This can be useful in balancing and optimizing hormones, assisting in weight management, accelerating wound healing for our surgical patients, improving sexual health, aid in hair restoration and optimizing the body’s immune response.
Under One Roof
+advitam® and Shafer Clinic are seamlessly integrated under the same roof, offering you a unique combination of aesthetic and wellness services. This collaboration allows you to experience the most effective plastic surgery and med spa treatments in NYC alongside +advitam®'s advanced metabolic and wellness programs—all in one comfortable, inviting environment.
Personalized Wellness Solutions
We offer a comprehensive initial consultation including physical examination, body composition analysis and bloodwork. We review patients health histories, nutritional, lifestyle, social habits and assess short and long-term health goals. Creation of individualized longevity and wellness programs involving:
- Hormone replacement
- Peptide Optimization
- Sexual health
- Weight management
- Hair restoration
- Immune system support
- IV Vitamin Infusions
- Epigenetic Testing
- Pre and post operative/procedure wound healing protocols
HORMONE REPLACEMENT
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone is what makes men, MEN. It is the life source of the male body. In recent years testosterone levels in men have been declining at an accelerated rate. Studies suggest that this is because of environmental factors such as pollutants and chemicals. Testosterone Replacement Therapy has shown to:
- Increase sex drive
- Strengthen erections
- Increase lean muscle mass and muscular strength
- Decrease body fat and abdominal fat
- Increase energy, focus, and concentration
- Improve sleep
- Improve mood
Our TRT programs are carefully custom-tailored to each individual patient. We closely monitor patients to keep their hormones balanced, maximize outcomes and avoid unnecessary side effects. This is NOT a “one size fits all” approach! Start feeling improvement within 2-3 weeks!
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone/Peptides
As we age, the amount of growth hormone we make naturally declines. By age 55, blood levels of growth hormone are about one-third lower than they are in people ages 18 to 35. A few signs of decreasing Growth Hormone are decreased muscle mass and increased body fat. Growth Hormone is very important to:
- Improve cellular efficiency
- Improve cellular function
- Improve cellular repair
- Decrease overall body fat
- Increase lean muscle mass
- Increase your metabolism
- Increase healing and recovery time
AND…typically when these processes improve, you feel better, function better, look better, and have better defenses against illness!
PEPTIDE THERAPY
Very simply put, Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, instructing other molecules and cells on what to do. There are over 7,000 discovered peptides inside our bodies. There are many FDA approved medications available today that contain peptides. Various Peptides can be used to:
- Increase sex-drive and function in both men and women
- Assist in weight loss/ metabolizing body fat
- Improve metabolic function
- Treat hormonal imbalance
- Increase lean muscle mass
- Improve skin appearance (reduce wrinkles/ fine lines)
- Increase hair growth
- Significantly improve wound healing
- Significantly strengthen the immune system
Peptides are administered via injections, nasal spray, topical creams, and oral forms.
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT
Aging is one of the leading non-modifiable risk factors in all chronic diseases. It negatively effects our bodies ability to fight against disease. We can now “fine-tune” how our cells respond, substantially improving our immune systems.
Customized programs combining IV infusions, various oral and injectable peptides, targeting various cell signaling pathways, improving the body’s immune response. We offer long and short-term immune system support programs.
