Take preventative health measures now and worry less later with Ageless Living
With 1 in 10 Canadians lacking a regular healthcare provider, New York Tech looks at how Ageless Living makes preventive self-care possible.
Do you tend to avoid visiting the doctor’s office at all costs, despite that uncomfortable pain in your abdomen, rogue rash on your arm, or tweaked back from your soccer match last week? Going to the doctor’s is less than enticing — but think of it as self-care, a common New Year’s resolution that begins at the top of people’s lists and too frequently falls to the bottom.
Over the past few years, the share of Canadians participating in physical activity and consuming the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables per day declined by 3% and 8% respectively. The Canadian health care system is under severe strain, with some 2.5 million people reporting unmet health care needs in 2021 — roughly 1 in 10 Canadians lack a regular healthcare provider.
If you’re among the Canadians without a family doctor, or simply looking to invest in your self-care, there are other resources to turn to — including entrepreneur and pharmacist Michael Forbes’ company, Ageless Living. Forbes has a BSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of British Columbia and is certified in age management medicine and hormone restoration.
“I listened to the patient’s needs first. And that’s why I’ve been successful — because I built businesses to serve people. I believe that truly if you can be a steward of service, you will be successful,” emphasizes Forbes.
His integrated medical practice focuses on age management using a wide range of evidence-based treatments and services developed by certified leaders in the medical, skin health, and pharmaceutical fields. “So many people don’t understand that, hey, we’re all going to die eventually. And when you go to these nursing homes and see what it’s like, you quickly realize, I don’t want my last years to be like that,” Forbes explains.
The company helps individuals care for themselves through a blend of traditional medicine and groundbreaking wellness therapies, since evidence suggests as much as 80% of health is influenced by how we live each day. Services include biohacking, health weight, hormone balancing, and skin rejuvenation. “I’ve created a way for everybody to experience some longevity medicine and live longer,” Forbes shares. Your future self will thank you for investing in your well-being now.
