With each new year people set new health resolutions. Unfortunately, they are seldom kept. There are many reasons and excuses, but the bottom line is that health is complicated, and resolutions are inadequate to really make the kind of difference people would like.
As we begin the new year, it’s time to set resolutions that can truly transform our health and reverse the aging process (if your goals involve living life to the fullest).
By focusing on the 7 key areas of health, we can turn back the clock and restore vitality. Let’s explore how to make 2025 the year you invest in your health & future self.
The 7 Keys to Health and Age Reversal
Key # 1. Sound Body & Joint Structure
Maintaining a strong musculoskeletal system is crucial for healthy aging. Incorporate weight-bearing & resistance exercises along with flexibility training to keep your joints supple and your bones strong.
The biggest impediment to performing the appropriate exercise to maintain your joints is pain and degeneration. This often starts a major downward health spiral.
Once joint pain and degeneration set in, more aggressive intervention is often needed to turn things around. That’s where Regenerative Injection Therapy comes in. It has been used for almost 90 years to help repair & restore proper joint integrity. The newer solutions (stem cells, exosomes, PRP, etc.) take the regeneration to the next level to help get you out of pain and back into the game.
Key # 2. Proper Nutrition
Fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods that support cellular health. Aim for a diet rich in healthy proteins & fats, while limiting excess carbohydrates, empty calories, highly processed and junk foods. Nutrient dense vegetables, limited fruits, seeds, and nuts help to round this out while providing many additional vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
Many people would benefit from some detailed nutritional coaching due to the huge amount of misinformation propagated by both mainstream media and online sources including the many influencers who are often misguided.
Key # 3. Exercise
Physical activity is a cornerstone of health and age reversal. Resistance training and High-intensity interval training (HIIT) have been shown to dramatically slow cellular aging by boosting muscle mass & mitochondrial regeneration. Combine this with endurance training to improve cardiovascular health and maintain muscle mass.
A little know exercise system called EWOT (exercise with oxygen training) is perhaps THE most important single type of exercise to do. It is the ONLY type of exercise documented to open & reset the body’s microvascular system to youthful levels.
Although home EWOT systems are available, coming to our center for a series of sessions is really the best way to implement EWOT under proper guidance.
We also have the latest & greatest Resistance exercise equipment called ARX (Adaptive Resistance Exercise). It is the most effective way to restore strength and lean body mass (muscle) known.
Key # 4. Microvascular Health
Support your body’s smallest blood vessels through regular exercise and specific nutrients that help to restore the Glycocalyx (proteoglycans (sugar-protein chains) that protect the inside of our body’s blood vessels).
The microvascular system (primarily capillaries) accounts for 99% of the entire circulatory system. Conventional medical practitioners do not address these vessels at all, and we’ve only been able to test the health of the Microvascular system for a short time. We have the only testing equipment in the entire region that can test it. It is called the Glycocheck, google it to learn more.
Key # 5. Mitochondrial Health
Protect and enhance your cellular powerhouses that also regulate apoptosis (programed cell death), stem cells, calcium channels, and more. We use EWOT & HIIT (high intensity interval training including altitude training) to significantly boost mitochondrial function and mitogenesis. Additionally, managing oxidative stress through a balanced diet and targeted supplements (like our Mito Energy & Mito Boost) can support mitochondrial health.
Key # 6. Metabolic Health
Maintain a healthy weight and blood sugar levels to support overall metabolic function. A healthy, balanced metabolism is much more complicated than just balancing blood sugar; however, it is impossible to balance overall metabolism without first balancing blood sugar.
We evaluate and support blood sugar and insulin levels, adrenal function, thyroid function, and sex hormone levels (testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone) to help support a healthy, balanced metabolism.
Overall lifestyle is vital to a balanced & healthy metabolism. We also use various detoxification strategies, dietary modifications, intermittent fasting, calorie manipulation, and more as part of our approach to help balance and support a healthy metabolism.
Key # 7. Building Metabolic Reserve
Our metabolic reserve is best represented by our lean body mass which is mostly comprised of muscle. Our other organs make up the rest, however, they are more difficult to measure and modify. By focusing on muscle, both maintaining it and building it, we can dramatically enhance our overall health and metabolic reserve.
Everyone loses muscle, and therefore metabolic reserve as we age, UNLESS we actively work to maintain it. That’s right, losing muscle is NOT inevitable, it is just the norm. We can prevent this from happening and rebuild muscle/metabolic reserve with a combination of… the 6 other keys already discussed! Loss of muscle mass is called sarcopenia, it is a key indicator of premature aging.
Proper nutrition & resistance exercise (which requires healthy joints), along with healthy microcirculation, mitochondria (muscles have among the highest concentration of mitochondria in the body along with nerve tissue), and metabolic balance are all involved in maintaining &/or rebuilding our metabolic reserves.
Putting It All Together
Understanding how these elements interconnect is vital to developing an effective health enhancement & age reversal program. At the Age Reversal Technology Center, we specialize in creating personalized plans that address all seven keys to health. Our comprehensive approach ensures that you’re not just treating symptoms but actively reversing the aging process at a cellular level.

The journey to optimal health and age reversal begins with a single step. Schedule an initial consultation at the Age Reversal Technology Center to determine the most efficient path for your unique needs and health goals.
Why listen to me? I’m Max MacCloud and I have 3 doctorate level degrees in the health sciences (DO, ND, PhD) with over 45 years of clinical experience in the areas of health enhancement & age reversal. I’ve been studying & personally practicing these principles since 1969 and I’m as strong and fit at 67 as I was at 17 (really). I’ve damaged and repaired multiple joint injuries including neck, thoracic spine, low back, sacroiliac joint, shoulder, wrist, ankle, and most recently a meniscus tear and ligament sprain in my knee. The therapies I employ work and I’m constantly tweaking them to make them even more effective.
We are constantly adding new things to help people’s bodies heal better. Most recently we’ve add Adaptive Resistance Training with the ARX, Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy, the Xeo+ laser & intense pulsed light system (photo-rejuvenation, reduction/elimination of pigmented spots & spider veins, as well as hair removal), and a special rapid Cryo freezing system that helps with spot reduction and skin tightening.
I will work with you to design & guide you through a custom-tailored program that integrates all aspects of health optimization.
Remember, age reversal isn’t about quick fixes or miracle cures; it’s about making consistent, science-backed choices that compound over time.
Since I mentioned ‘science-backed,’ please note that I distinguish between ‘real & fake’ science. (As a quick aside, most of what conventional doctors rely on, and mainstream media report on, is ‘fake & biased’ science that is sponsored by the Medical Industrial Complex that is much more focused on profit than building health.) This is not a conspiracy theory; it is a well-documented fact. Our health (actually ‘disease’) care system has been hijacked and it’s time to take back control of our health.
By committing to the right resolutions and working with professionals who understand the intricacies of building health and reversing the deleterious effects of premature aging, you can make 2025 the year you truly invest in your long-term health and vitality. Start your journey today and look forward to a future where you feel as young as you aspire to be.
Health is a function of your intention and the effort you put into building & preserving it. Unfortunately, most of us have been trained to treat our body like a car instead of the miraculous organism it is. We wait until there is a problem with our car, a check engine or oil pressure light, a strange new noise, etc. Then we ignore it for a while and eventually take it to the mechanic for repair. STOP treating your body this way, BE PROACTIVE and build health to optimize function and prevent breakdowns.
