Based in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, Dr. Stephen Petteruti serves as a doctor of osteopathy at Intellectual Medicine, a company that offers alternative health treatments. Previously, Dr. Stephen Petteruti practiced family medicine for 20 years.
Intellectual Medicine is a boutique health practice. Rather than billing for individual appointments, patients receive a full range of services for a flat monthly fee. Conventional services offered by the clinic, such as blood work and x-rays, are covered by insurance plans.
The doctors and staff at Intellectual Medicine offer the following treatments that aim to promote longevity:
– Anti-aging treatments: One factor in aging is the presence of free radicals–chemicals that have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and other conditions. The clinic offers antioxidants, such as glutathione, which can help reduce the presence of free radicals. It also provides bio-identical hormonal therapy, which uses of artificial hormones to mimic natural hormones, helping to slow the aging process.
– Weight loss treatments: The Intellectual Medicine plan provides patients with guidance on adjusting their intake of macronutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). These adjustments are enhanced through exercise and pharmacological treatments.
– Aesthetic reconstruction: Patients can reverse skin damage with treatments such as facial peels, photodynamic therapy, botox, and skin tightening.
– Intravenous infusions: Intellectual Medicine’s IV drips promote the health of the single cell through chelation, a process that improves blood flow by removing heavy metals from the bloodstream.
