The West Islip Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed a new business called Alluring Age Anti-Aging and Wellness Center. This seemingly chic office offers both overall wellness and aesthetic services. Dr. Luis M. Fandos describes the goal of Alluring Age Anti-Aging and Wellness Center: “We try to address the root cause of the problem as opposed to treating the symptoms.”

Fandos and the rest of his team help those struggling with health issues and other debilitating illnesses through the use of peptide therapy. Additionally, they assist patients with medical weight loss and provide IV therapy and hormone replacement services. These health amenities are used in tandem with cellular medicine.

Fandos describes this as “using the cell as the main focus of what they (his team and other cellular medical practitioners) do.”

He mentioned as people age, the issues they experience, such as weight gain, hair loss, and cardiovascular disease, are due to the cells’ decreasing efficiency. Fandos compares the cells’ functioning to the functioning of a factory. They have the structure to do what they are supposed to. Still, the cells need the energy to carry out those activities, and as someone ages, their cells lose that power, so the factory makes less than it is supposed to.

“With this approach, by addressing how the cell functions, you can improve almost any bodily function,” Fandos said.

Fandos used arthritis as an example. The cells that are in the joint that create the cartilage are not as effective anymore because they do not have the energy. By knowing this, some measures can be taken to improve the function of the cells.

Aesthetic services such as injectables and laser treatment are also available. Fandos said this is because “as people feel better, they feel stronger and have more energy, and as we improve them from inside out, then any aesthetic treatments will have a profound, lasting effect.”

Fandos didn’t always study cellular medicine; he was in the field of pain management. However, that changed when he discovered his cardiovascular health was in jeopardy. He prides himself on living a healthy lifestyle. Despite his clean eating and exercise regime, he had high blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol. After taking a calcium score test, he was dismayed that his chance of having a heart attack within the next 10 years was very high.

That was when he met with a cardiologist who told him to live a lifestyle he had already been living. He was unsatisfied with his cardiologist’s consultation.

“That was a wake-up call for me; I’m not just going to let my life go down the toilet,” he said. And that was when he vigorously researched everything related to cellular medicine. Once he understood the approach more, he was utterly drawn to the subject. He used this approach on his mother and father, who both have debilitating health issues, and he began seeing overall improvement in their health.

“So imagine me going to work every day, seeing people suffering and knowing that they have another option that’s not being offered, so one day I said, ‘I have to do something about it,’ and that’s how we created this practice,” he continued.

Fandos believes cellular medicine will become standard within 10 to 15 years.
