Welcome

Welcome to the first installment of my blog dealing with aging and longevity. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr.Lou Moretti and for the past 30 years I have practiced full time emergency medicine in the Chicago metropolitan area. During that tenure I have had the unique opportunity to see first hand (and attempt to correct), the consequences of the aging process. Also, the cumulative effects of physical neglect and abuse to the human body.
The human lifespan is ever increasing due to advances in modern medicine and ongoing research in the area of aging.
It is my intent, over the ensuing months and years, to discuss with you what I have learned in my personal and professional life with regard to aging. I will also present current research that has practical relevance to this topic. If we are lucky, we will all have the luxury of growing old. Let's develop a strategy.

If you live in Chicago and are a man or woman over 50 years of age and thinking about starting a fitness program, I invite you to view my website: www.personallybest.com.
