Dr. Maureen Sweeney, and Lucy Watson, Live Young’s Office Manager
Dr. Maureen Sweeney “It’s hard to believe we’ve been here 10 years,” says Dr. Maureen Sweeney. “It seems like just yesterday that I moved the practice from Yates Street to Sidney. And what a good decision — I’ve never looked back.” Office manager Lucy Watson joined the practice soon after. “It’s funny — we didn’t ‘discover’ Sidney until we started working in the community where we both live. And our patients are delighted to save themselves a trip downtown.” Live Young Medical focuses on age management from the inside
out. Dr. Sweeney began her career as a family doctor, and quickly realized how important lifestyle factors were to the process of healthy aging. She runs her practice and lives her own life according to the acronym DESSERT, where D refers to diet, E to exercise, S to sleep and stress management, S to supplements, E to early detection of disease, R to restoring hormone balance, and T to treating the outward signs of aging.
Just as important as how you look is how you feel. Dr. Sweeney has 16 years of experience with age-enhancing treatments like bio-identical hormones – the naturally derived substitutes for the estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones that diminish in the body as we age. Patients rave about their improved sleep and renewed energy once their hormones are restored to optimum levels.
Those outward signs of aging are addressed using aesthetic medicine, including BOTOX®, BELKYRA™, fillers, laser skin renewal, and hair removal, and the treatments are popular among many age groups, with an ever-increasing level of interest from men.
“We get a great deal of enjoyment from helping our patients look and feel their best,” says Dr. Sweeney, “and we’re grateful to be part of this vibrant and caring community.”
