Diverse Health Needs for Diverse Population

AHPRA and the TGA refer respectively to the ‘anti-ageing and performance enhancement public’. I believe this is an error - we live in a diverse community with diverse outlooks, values and goals. The old medical model referred to as ‘dogmatic, paternalistic and allopathic’ is evolving. The mechanisms of Ageing is a target for therapy and should increasingly become so.

These are not fads from irresponsible uneducated individuals - they are based on explosive evolution of geroscience.

Medicine and medical practitioners risk become obsolete if these areas are ignored or suppressed. Public Health is enhanced by mature and responsible responses to these issues, risk mitigation through professional oversight, and explicit recognition that the medical family is indeed a broad church.
