Seema Patel, MD MPH to visit Mumbai India

Seema Patel MD, MPH, Director of Shanti MedSpa at The Institute for Optimal Health and a native of Mumbai India, discusses her recently released book- Your Guide to Optimal Health: Creating Your Personal Wellness Wheel with India Entrepreneur online. Dr Patel is a recognized authority in age management, integrated medicine and advanced skincare. Your Guide was released in October 2008 and Dr Patel is currently scheduling a 2009 visit to Mumbai India to promote her work.

This innovative work combines the most innovative medical treatment and prevention strategies with complimentary areas of diet, nutrition, lifestyle behavior modification, stress management, hormone modification and optimistic mindset development. She's used her life experiences with southern Asian philosphies of balance to create a unique and effective means to prevent the development of chronic diseases like heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer. The Optimal Health program also permits these disorders to be more easily managed when the program is instituted.

With economic prosperity in India, the incidence of obesity has increased as have the chronic medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, stroke and heart attack. Like America, these conditions have become an epidemic. Prosperity does have its detriment.

Mumbai India has always been a meeting place for the most beautiful, wealthy and elite class of India as well as a magnet for wealthy Europeans. It's no wonder that Mumbai has seen its fair share of Wellness Centers.

Dr Patel states: "I opened the Shanti MedSpa four years ago with the goal of introducing Asian hospitality in a medical setting to the US. It quickly became apparent with the creating of The Institute of Optimal Health that there was a huge demand for an integrated program where people wanted the best preventative and treatment practices that medicine has to offer. I had long ago realized that the medicine that I was taught in American medical school was a fix it when it's broken approach. Also, it looked only at a single area of the patient and not the patient as a whole. I adopted many of the concepts of health that I had grown up with including Ayeurvedic concepts to create an integrated program which has been well received."

"Im excited about travelling to India to share my work and to meet with others who are interested in addressing many of the tremendous healthcare challenges that we are confronted with in India the rest of Asia and abroad."

Dr Patel has attended training at the prestigious Cenegenics Medical Institute located in Las Vegas Nevada. Recently, Cenegenics Medical Institute announced plans to extend its age management services to India by opening a Cenegenics Medical Institute facility in Hyderabad India. The Cenegenics Medical Institute is recognized for development of programs designed to slow the process of aging with innovative medical protocols. Thriving metropolitan areas like Mumbai and Hydrabad have become prime targets for medical programs such as these as the affluent seek the best care available.

"Your Guide To Optimal Health" packages this integrated program into a concise, easy to apply, step by step program that people can begin at home and introduce to their physician.

Seema Patel MD, MPH is a recognized leader in the field of advanced skincare and age management. The genesis of this new medical field is a consequence of several factors including an increasing desire by the individual-at-large to improve their health profile, the recognition that individual health is a major determinant of quality of life as one ages and the acknowledgement that the financial strain of chronic disease can be catastrophic to our financial health.

Dr Patel has personally treated thousands of patients with the latest advanced skincare strategies as the Medical Director of The Institute for Advanced Skincare and Optimal Health. The evolving philosophy of skincare is simple and mirrors the newest treatments for most other medical disorders. We now recognize that the condition of the skin is the external manifestation of our body's internal condition. Poor diet, behaviors such as smoking, poor nutritional supplementation, hormonal disorders and untreated medical disorders are reflected in our skin's appearance. The ability to treat these factors in concert permits the results of a skin intervention and maintenance skin care to be much more successful and sustainable over time. As with other medical disorders, one day we'll successfully identify the gene that controls the process and our therapy will allow us to turn this gene off. But until then, treatment of the underlying cause is the perfect synergy.

Currently, Dr Patel, provides state-of-the-art treatments with technologies such as laser skin resurfacing, The Pixel®, Botox®, Restylane®, Juvaderm® and minimally invasive body contouring using the Accent Laser®
