Researcher Mission

Empowering seniors through Clinical Health Literacy. As an independent researcher managing Type 2 Diabetes and Liver Cirrhosis, I bridge the gap between complex medical data and the lived reality of chronic disease management.

About the Researcher: Tommy T. Douglas

Bridging Lived Experience with Clinical Health Literacy

Welcome to Aging Health. I am an Independent Health Researcher and patient advocate dedicated to helping seniors navigate the complexities of chronic disease management.

My work is driven by a singular mission: to translate high-level clinical data into actionable, easy-to-understand health literacy for those living with liver disease, cardiovascular complications, and metabolic disorders.

My journey: From Patient to Researcher

My perspective is rooted in E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). 

My research is informed by my own health journey:

  • 2008 Cardiovascular Event: After surviving a major heart attack, I shifted my focus to the study of vascular protection and long-term recovery.
  • Metabolic Management: I actively manage Type 2 Diabetes using a clinical regimen of Metformin and GLP-1 (Ozempic), combined with low-glycemic nutritional strategies.
  • Advanced Liver Research: I specialize in the study of Liver Cirrhosis, focusing on stabilizing portal hypertension and understanding the mechanics of decompensation. Because, I have liver cirrhosis.

My Research Methodology

I do not provide medical advice; rather, I provide Health Literacy. Every article on this site is developed by:

  • Synthesizing Clinical Data: Reviewing latest studies from the NIH, AASLD, and American Diabetes Association.
  • Lived Verification: Cross-referencing clinical guidelines with the practical realities of daily disease management.
  • Peer Review: Referencing established medical institutions to ensure all data is current and factually sound.
  • Transparency Note: I believe that an informed patient is an empowered patient. By sharing my personal successes and research findings, I aim to help my peers have more productive conversations with their own healthcare providers.

Contact & Collaboration

I am always open to discussing health research, patient advocacy, and the challenges of geriatric health.
