At HB Health we believe wholeheartedly that prevention is better than cure, and that you should be young from the inside out. Many diseases of modern society are silent and degenerative; such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes and Alzheimer’s .HB Health believe that an early detection plan, together with an individualized programme targeting lifestyle, nutrition and fitness, will prevent and possibly reverse the effects of preventative disease, optimise well-being and delay ageing. For clients to achieve their personal wellness and performance goals it requires care and planning. Our philosophy therefore is that clients should possess ‘A Prescription for Life’, supported by our “7 Pillars Plan”, being the seven core components which we believe will provide our clients with the optimum results. Our teams include internationally respected doctors, working alongside a wide range of superior practitioners, who through an integrated approach deliver great results every time. Our research includes continued development of nutritional and cosmetic products designed to maximise client and patient results. We take into account every patient’s personal and family history, lifestyle and work commitments to tailor for them ‘A Prescription for Life’. 45 5 Academic Associates The World Anti Aging Academy of Medicine (WAAAM) is dedicated to the protection and preservation of the health of the public, and the advancement of education in connection with anti- ageing medicine.
