Anti-aging medicine views disease as a condition
caused by toxins in your body, nutritional
deficiencies, and stress. These factors in your body
then eventually result in changes in enzyme and
hormone production, which produces signs and
symptoms of biochemical dysfunction. Over time, a
chronic illness could develop.
Our medical program is a proactive approach that
encourages and promotes healthy living and aging.

t hasn't taken long for Josh Molino
to make a huge impact on the
state high school tennis scene.
In two seasons (fall 2012 and fall
2013) coaching the Detroit Country
Day School boys tennis team, he's
guided the Yellowjackets to back-to-
back Michigan High School Athletic
Association Division 3 state champion-
ships with record-tying dominance
both times.
Country Day scored 39 of a possible
40 points in both state tournaments.
That's happened on only two other
occasions in state tournament history.
Ann Arbor Pioneer had 39 points in
2002 and 2005.
Country Day was ranked the No. 1
boys tennis team in all classes in 2012
and 2013 by the Michigan High School
Tennis Coaches Association.
Molino, 26, was named the Oakland
County boys tennis coach of the year
in 2012 by the Oakland Press and
Division 3 regional boys tennis coach
of the year in 2013 by the coaches'
association.
He's actually been at Country Day
for three seasons. He was an assistant
coach in fall 2011, when the team won
the first of what is now a three-year
streak of state titles.
Molino coached the Bloomfield Hills
Andover girls tennis team for two
seasons (spring 2012 and spring 2013)
before losing the job because Andover
consolidated with Bloomfield Hills
Lahser High School.
In those two seasons, Andover won
two MHSAA regional champion-
ships and finished fourth twice in the
Division 2 state tournament.
Molino will be coaching high school
girls tennis next spring. He's been
hired to coach at West Bloomfield
High School.
The West Bloomfield resident's
coaching philosophy is simple, but
obviously effective.
"I want everyone to get better every
time they're on the court," he said.
Alex Gruskin was a member of
the 2011 and 2012 Country Day state
champion boys tennis teams and a state
champion at No. 1 doubles both years.
The University of Michigan fresh-
man is a big fan of his former coach,
calling him a "player's coach" who puts
his team and players ahead of all else.
And there's more.
"Josh can teach you the technical
stuff, of course, but what he's best at
is knowing what to say to you during
a match to calm you down or get you
focused," Gruskin said. "He can be
funny or he can be serious.
"The mental part of your game is so
important. It's very easy to over-think
things in tennis and get off-track:'
Gruskin remembers a coaching
session with Molino during the No. 1
doubles state tournament semifinals in
his junior season.
After beating a team from arch-
rival Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-
Kingswood 6-4 in the first set, Gruskin
and his partner found themselves
behind 5-2 in the second set.
"Josh told us to calm down and think
of the score being 0-0," Gruskin said.
"That really helped us. We won the
next five games, won the set 7-5 and
the match. We would have lost the
second set without Josh's help and who
knows what might have happened in
the third set:'
Gruskin, a Franklin resident, is still
playing competitive tennis on the U-M
men's club team.
Born in Detroit, Molino moved
to Florida in 1994 and grew up in
Weston, about 20 minutes west of Ft.
Lauderdale.
He played high school and junior
tennis in the Sunshine State, and he
graduated from the University of
Central Florida, where he worked in
the athletic department for two years
in the communications office.
He wrote stories on several UCF
sports teams, was the assistant sports
information director for women's golf
and helped with media relations at
home football and basketball games.
It wasn't long after Molino moved
back to Michigan in June 2011 that he
was hired by Country Day.
He also teaches tennis at the Sports
Club of West Bloomfield.
Tennis is in his blood — Armand
Molino, his father, is a renowned area
tennis coach — and he says it's his
passion.
"I heard a long time ago that if you
love what you do, you'll be good at it,"
he said. "I love what I'm doing:'
