Dr. Carl Paige
MEDICAL TRANSFORMATION CENTER Written by Bridget Williams
Necessity, as they say, is the mother of invention, and this was certainly the case for Dr. Carl Paige and his wife Terri, founders of Medical Transformation Center (MTC). After decades of practicing "traditional" internal medicine, Terri's ongoing health struggles following the birth of their eighth child led the couple, Western Kentucky natives who have been married for four decades, on a shared journey to embrace a more holistic approach to obtaining optimal health. Following my attendance at several evening "meet the doctor" sessions at their Anchorage office, covering topics from maximizing athletic performance to aging as gracefully and healthfully as possible, I met with Terri to learn more about their unique approach, which includes a suite of non-invasive and innovative aesthetic procedures for looking as good as you feel. Terri displays the vitality of the Energizer Bunny and the enthusiasm of a kindergarten teacher as she paints a compelling picture of MTC's holistic approach. It's easy to see why she's so enthusiastic, as her radiant skin and trim figure belies her status as a grandmother of three. A decade ago, Terri said she was fifty pounds overweight, suffering bouts of recurring shingles, and lacking energy. After one particularly tough day, she told Carl, "You're a 70 slmag.net
doctor, fix me!" which set them on the path to harnessing the power of personalized regenerative and cellular medicine. Following extensive research and development, the Paige’s launched Medical Transformation Center in 2013. Seven years later, they moved the practice into a state-of-the-art facility in Anchorage. Treating both children and adults, Terri describes their patients as either people with specific problems or those who are looking to optimize their health, with the former being those who have an existing diagnosis and are investigating alternative treatments, and the latter are those who want to stay ahead of the curve concerning their health. Terri describes their approach as "foundational," focusing on all aspects of a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise. "You can't out-exercise a bad diet," she explained, adding that MTC helps people connect their choices with outcomes so that they are more likely to make lasting lifestyle changes. Recently, the practice added a new suite of innovative, noninvasive aesthetic procedures that Terri says use physics (heat and energy) to prompt the body to do things it already knows how to do.
