Explore the Future of Medicine Today & Control Your Health & Aging!
As most of us know, one size fits all medicine and a medical approach that waits for disease to emerge and then treats the end-symptoms of disease doesn't provide optimal health. For some individuals based on their DNA, a glass of wine a day contributes to good heart health, for another it’s a stepping stone to alzheimer’s or a heart attack. You may or may not be aware that recent advances in science and technology such as personalized genomics, free radical biology, mitochondrial biology, neuro-immunology, etc. have made it not only possible for us to live longer, but for us to actually live healthier and with more vitality. We can predict future health risks far in advance and prevent them from occurring.
CENIGENT Health Enhancement Medical Institute is distinguished to be the first medical facility in the world to take advantage of all of these advancements and integrate them into a systems approach and individualized health programs that allow us to predict potential or existing medical conditions, future health risks and genetic weaknesses with comprehensive health assessments, rigorous and advanced testing (500 cellular biomarkers, genetic SNP testing, predictive whole body MRI imaging and other diagnostic tests), customized research which then allows us to treat the core systems (rather than end-symptoms) that lead to those potential issues and age related health decline before they become serious health conditions with personalized therapies, restorations, recommendations and ample follow-ups. Our advanced personalized medical programs are matched by the personal attention our physicians provide each patient at any visit in a soothing and aesthetically pleasing environment.
By treating those potential health problems with a systems-based approach personalized to each person’s genetic signature we also address its respective symptoms and are able to predict, prevent, personalize and treat many age related health conditions including:
Loss of Memory
Erectile Dysfunction
Overall Age Related Health Decline
Low Libido
Menopause
Andropause
Diabetes
High Blood Pressure
Elevated Cholesterol
Obesity
Neuropathy
Cardiovascular Disease
Stroke
Neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Osteoarthritis
Osteoporosis
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Poor Skin Health
Poor Circulation
Frequent Colds
Poor Sleep
At CENIGENT we are dedicated to help you achieve your peak health, peak performance, and healthy aging – at any age. Explore the future of Medicine today and discover HOW CENIGENT can benefit you.

Understanding The Immune System by Lida Ghaderi MD
Understanding The Immune System
Constant Surveillance & Error Correction
The Immune system is yet another amazing and critical pillar that impacts many aspects of your functioning through communication with all the other CENIGENT systems - mutually exchanging information, receiving and conferring.
Your immune system is your body’s self-esteem. Think of it as a refined and cohesive blend of an army’s central intelligence system, hospital, judge, proofreader, teacher and janitorial service. The immune system has soldiers, correction officers and guards named T-cells and B-cells, macrophages, monocytes, natural killer cells and others that also produce a variety of unique chemical signals called cytokines. These cytokines provide specific information to a variety of other cells.
All the soldiers, guards and correction officers are in constant communication, checking for errors inside cells, identifying and battling foreign invaders and instructing other systems on how to deal with problems. Ironically, the immune system has the power to fight disease and prevent us from catching a common cold, yet it can also be the underlying reason we get sick. A healthy immune system has an arsenal of tools and weapons to do its job. It can shoot holes in the invader, tag or capture it for others to deal with or repair the problem.
Inflammation is a natural life preserving process of recruiting the immune system’s artillery to curb infections, offending organisms, toxins, injury and error. We may experience it as swelling, fever, or redness. If, however, this life saving inflammation becomes ongoing at your cell level we call it chronic Inflammation. Chronic inflammation at your cell level becomes a trigger for many other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s and many other conditions such as osteoporosis, insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, cancers, and metabolic syndrome to name a few.
Chronic inflammation instructs our genetic system to create more damaging inflammatory chemicals by activating a dangerous genetic reader called Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NFKB) (you may explore this in more detail in the epigenetic section). Chronic inflammation can lead to the shrinking of specific types of nerve cells which are involved in learning and memory as well as to lower specific hormones such as testosterone.
In short, Chronic Cellular Inflammation is WAR on our bodies…
As we age, our overall immune function declines. Combine that with a decline in hormones, chronic stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins such as garden herbicides, pesticides, industrial toxins and heavy metals, adverse lifestyle habits, certain drugs, chemicals, and your genetic susceptibility, plus a decline in your cellular and mitochondrial health, and your immune system is very likely to become faulty.
An example of a faulty overactive immune system is when it attacks itself, giving rise to a variety of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, sarcoidosis, or inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis to name a few.
Whether it is chronic Inflammation at your cellular level, a declining immune system as a result of aging, and/or the failure of your immune system to distinguish self proteins from foreign proteins, it can to lead to a lack of vitality and, at its very worst - debilitating chronic diseases.
At CENIGENT we meticulously assess every aspect of your immune system, which is possible through extensive health questionnaires and testing of specific immune markers, markers of cellular inflammation, a variety of inflammation promoting cytokines as well as testing for chronic bacterial and viral exposure, and toxic heavy metal levels.
We also test you for specific food allergies and check the health of your digestive system, both of which are critical factors as whether or not your immune system is functioning at its peak level. A complete action plan is then designed and implemented to restore and balance your immune system.

Unlock A Healthier You! by Dr. Lida Ghaderi
UNLOCK A HEALTHIER YOU!
by Dr. Lida Ghaderi
Your endocrine system can help you process and convert sugar, feel satisfied after a meal, warn you of stress or danger, or allow you to remain calm and solution oriented in the face of challenges. The relationship among the endocrine glands demands that they work in harmony, and that hormone levels stay within specific ranges to maintain system integration as well as function optimally. If hormone levels go above or below a certain level, the chemical messenger’s instruction can be dramatically altered, or it may fail to send a signal at all.
As we age, most hormones and receptors naturally decline, and so do the other CENIGENT systems. If the other CENIGENT systems are not operating at optimal levels, this too can lower hormones. Additionally, there are external factors that can stimulate or inhibit hormonal secretions to abnormal, problem causing levels such as poor nutrition, chronic stress and toxic environmental exposures.
You should know that I do not recommend hormone optimization until you’ve completed an intensive, comprehensive evaluation, screening diagnostics, right down to your genetic coding including checking for certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). Genetic SNP profiling provides us with unique information on how your hormones are broken down by your body, your body’s intolerance to its own hormones and what other risk factors you may have.
