Longevity Medicine
We used to think aging was inevitable. However, research has definitively shown you can stall and reverse the aging process. Longevity medicine is legitimate science. Aging is a choice. A healthy life span means being healthier for longer. We all want to maintain a pain-free and healthy life, and there are many things we can do that will allow us to live that way. Living a healthy and vibrant lifestyle shouldn’t be daunting, overcomplicated or expensive.
In our practice, we address is you: the individual. We’ll examine your medical history, medical records, blood work, hormone levels, dietary habits, sleep habits, supplements, medications and family history. Through careful examination and a thorough consultation with Dr. Bloch, we can help improve your vitality, promote hormone balance, improve sleep and aid in weight loss.
There’s the old joke… an old man was asked his secret to a long life. His answer was, “If I knew I was gonna live this long, I would’ve taken better care of myself.” Allow yourself to learn about the aging process and what you can do to be happier and healthier in the future. The future is now.

bioidentical hormones
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
As we age, our hormone levels decline. We simply chalk it up to aging, and suffer or become uncomfortable. But aging is optional! The decline in health and functioning typically associated with aging is not inevitable. Many of these changes are a result of hormone imbalances and nutritional deficiencies, which are potentially reversible. You can keep those hormone levels up with the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. You will feel healthy and vibrant with optimized hormones. Common symptoms of hormone imbalance can be effectively treated with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance include:
Difficulty sleeping at night
Lack of energy and fatigue during the day
Reduced mental focus, memory and poor concentration
Moody, anxious or depressed
Weight gain, including increased fat around the midsection
Inability to lose weight regardless of healthy diet and exercise
Decreased muscle strength
Muscle and/or joint pain
Reduced sexual desire and performance
Finding the right hormone balance offers women significant benefits. Research has also shown that hormone therapy improves overall health by reducing the risk of disease. Dr. Dean Bloch’s unique focus is not simply on prescribing, but combining the appropriate dosage and delivery method to balance hormones. Each person is different, and their needs change over time. That’s why Dr. Bloch creates an individualized program designed for each patient that prevents the symptoms that are so commonly associated with the aging process. Bioidentical hormones are specifically compounded to identically match what your body once produced.

thyroid optimization
Thyroid Optimization
The thyroid controls how your body’s cells use energy from food, a process called metabolism. Among other things, your metabolism affects your body’s temperature, your heartbeat, and how well you burn calories. The primary thyroid hormones are triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). T4 is mostly inactive and converts into the active thyroid hormone T3. Thyroid imbalances occur when your thyroid produces too few or too many of these hormones, or is unable to convert the T4 hormone into the active T3 hormone. Thyroid hormones are the key regulator of the metabolism.
Symptoms of Thyroid Imbalance include:
Fatigue
Weight gain
Skin dryness
Constipation
Heavy menstrual cycles
Sensitivity to cold
Hair loss
If you have symptoms of hypothyroidism, Dr. Bloch will check the levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. If your laboratory tests are consistent with hypothyroidism, he will prescribe an appropriate dose of supplemental thyroid hormone and frequently monitor and adjust your dose based on both laboratory assessment and through your ongoing feedback about how you feel. If you’d like to feel energized, lose weight and be healthier, contact Dr. Dean Bloch to schedule a consultation. Get in Balance today!

adrenal fatigue
Adrenal Fatigue
Also called hypoadrenalism, untreated Adrenal Fatigue steals your energy and makes you exhausted. Simply put, the adrenal glands regulate the body’s stress response by producing cortisol, the stress hormone. When stress becomes chronic and not well managed, the glands overproduce cortisol which leads to adrenal burnout.
Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue include:
Waking up in the mid-portion of the night
Inability to achieve quality sleep
Anxiety / Depression
Increased susceptibility to infections
Midday fatigue
Reduced tolerance for stress
Craving for sweets and salty foods
Allergies to things you were never allergic to before
Chemical sensitivities
A tendency to feel cold
Reduced energy levels
Weight gain
Foggy brain
Decrease in the production of insulin (which regulates blood glucose levels)
Decreased libido
Low blood pressure
Benefits of treating Adrenal Fatigue include:
Renewed energy to get out of bed in the morning
Higher levels of energy throughout the day
Ability to better handle stress
Diminished cravings for sweet or salty foods
Reducing the need for stimulants like caffeine
Supporting healthy immune systems
If you have symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue, Dr. Bloch will check your cortisol levels. A thorough analysis of your results and consultation with Dr Bloch will direct you towards stress management, a healthier diet and careful selection of supplements to support your adrenal gland. This, combined with an individualized nutrition, supplement and fitness program, will maintain your normal hormone levels and can effectively eliminate the symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause. If you’d like to feel energized, sleep better, lose weight and be healthier, contact Dr. Dean Bloch today to schedule a consultation. Get in Balance today!

hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Medical Aesthetics of the Hudson Valley is a non-invasive treatment that substantially increases the amount of oxygen in a person’s bloodstream, promoting stem cell mobilization and repairing damaged tissue to heal internal and external wounds in the body.
Because it’s a versatile therapy that can be utilized by a wide range of patients, including diabetics and those who've experienced a concussion, a stroke, or cancer treatments, it is often incorporated into a variety of health optimization and recovery plans. A new study indicates that Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments in healthy aging adults can stop the aging of blood cells and reverse the aging process. In the biological sense, the blood cells actually grow younger as the treatments progress.
Since the body requires oxygen in its healing process, doctors use hyperbaric therapy to increase a person's oxygen levels, which in turn can help the body regenerate red blood cells, fight bacterial infections, and speed up its natural healing. Our soft sided HBOT delivers 1.3 ATM.
This makes the therapy helpful for those suffering from:
Decompression sickness (aka the bends)
Burns
Skin infections
Anemia (iron deficiency)
Other injuries, including those incurred during sports or athletic activities
Possibly migraines, allergies, asthma, and heart disease, although there is less scientific evidence to back these claims.

massage
Massage by Korneel
Relax and release with our signature massage, the MAHV 75. This massage lasts a luxurious 75 minutes, is fully customized to your needs, can range from the deeply relaxing to the therapeutic (or both), and has an optional aromatherapy component. Massage therapist Korneel Bouman has taken up residence at Medical Aesthetics of the Hudson Valley on Thursdays and Fridays, and you’ll be in his very capable hands.
At once analytical, intuitive and compassionate, Korneel uses a mix of modalities to customize his clients’ treatments based on their physical and emotional needs. He helps his clients restore balance to their mind-body connection through therapeutic touch and the resulting downregulation of their sympathetic nervous system.
Korneel is a careful listener, takes the time necessary to talk with his clients to get to the heart of what’s going on, and works with (and within) their comfort level. He cares deeply for his clients, which shines through in the calm, comforting, and restful container he creates while working with them, which in turn allows them to release and relax. Massage therapy is as much an art as a science, and often Korneel will be intuitively drawn to areas needing attention that neither he or his client knew were there.
Born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Korneel now calls the Catskills his home, drawn in by the mountains, skies, and nature. He is licensed in New York State, and draws from the following modalities: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques, and Cross Fiber Friction.
