Healthy Aging
My definition of “healthy aging” is when all of the body’s organs age at the same rate.
The following situation commonly occurs in my medical practice. A person consults with me for a complex medical problem and, after the problem improves, they continue as my patient to work on promoting longevity and healthy aging.
​
The many HIV/AIDS patients I have been caring for over the past twenty years are a good example. Since they’ve been following my immune strengthening program, their immune systems are in great shape. Since improving their immune system is no longer the main focus, our goal has evolved to protecting them against heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Patients with digestive disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease or fibromyalgia are other examples. As a person's original condition improves, our focus shifts to healthy aging and promoting longevity.
During my over thirty years of practicing medicine, I’ve learned there are several important keys to longevity and healthy aging. By embracing these keys, I believe you will have the best chance of supporting your long-term health and living a long, healthy life!
​
The 7 Keys to Longevity & Healthy Aging are:
1. Eating a Healthy Diet
2. Supporting Your Mitochondria
3. Aerobic Exercise
4. Resistance Exercise
5. Supporting Gut Health
6. Social Engagement
7. Deep Restorative Sleep
​
Putting the above keys together in a personalized way helps to maximize your well-being and longevity. Having a physician with deep experience using each of the above interventions leads to the best outcome.

I want you to know that because of your guidance and treatment, I have lived a full life for the last 20+ years. After living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for so long, I never thought that would be possible. You made that possible! Thank you so much!

I have been with Dr. Kaiser now for over 15 years and I can say for sure that he is truly a lifesaver and a game changer. I will never forget when my previous doctor told me that I had a terminal illness. However, from the moment I met Dr. Kaiser, he let me know he would put no limit on my lifetime. Dr. Kaiser not only extended my lifetime, he has also greatly improved its quality.
Working with Dr. Kaiser from out of town has been easy. I flew to see him for the first few visits and since then have had all my appointments by phone. Lab slips are sent to me and I get blood work done and results are sent to Dr. Kaiser and then we have our phone visit, easy as that. Thank you Dr. Kaiser for changing my life forever!

When I first met with you, my entire intestinal system was devastated from intestinal parasites and chronic antibiotic treatment. Your care, attention, knowledge, and the treatments you offered me based on your research, helped me rebuild my whole life.
If I hadn't found you, things could have gone in a really bad direction. As it was, you set me on a gentle and gradual course for recovery that healed my entire life. An unexpected effect of improving my gut health was that the migraines and chronic sinus infections I'd had my whole life completely stopped.
Thank you for how much you helped me and I am so happy that you have returned to private practice. I know that everyone you care for will be very, very lucky.
With love and respect,
