What constitutes a longevity clinic? You can find a well-structured answer in a wonderful white paper “In search of best practices for Longevity Clinics," which is a solid reference point for longevity practitioners of various backgrounds (linked in the comments). Here are some common “traits” of longevity clinics: ✔ They are focused on measuring biological age using advanced diagnostics such as DNA methylation clocks (e.g., DNAmAge, PhenoAge) and multi-omics approaches. ✔ Such clinics employ comprehensive health assessments including whole genome analysis, precision imaging like MRI and CT scans, and epigenetic testing. For instance, Fountain Life’s ‘150GB Upload’ program integrates imaging, genetics, and blood diagnostics, while the European Longevity Center offers assessments incorporating mitochondrial and blood marker analysis. ✔Interventions in the longevity clinics are highly personalized, often involving genomics-based exercise plans, nutrigenomic diets, and sleep optimization via wearables like EEG headbands. ✔Clients receive customized action plans that may include innovative therapies like hyperbaric oxygen therapy for muscle regeneration or cryotherapy for inflammation reduction. ✔The clinics typically leverage AI and machine learning for continuous health monitoring and predictive analytics, exemplified by deep phenotyping and immune response predictions. ✔Stress management and hormonal health are addressed through biofeedback and personalized hormone replacement therapies. Clinics often provide multi-cancer early detection diagnostics, utilizing AI-driven imaging and blood tests for preventive care. ✔Additionally, these centers tend to support at-home diagnostics, collecting longitudinal data via wearables to enhance personalized treatment strategies. So, longevity clinics thus represent a convergence of advanced diagnostics, personalized medicine, and preventive care. The central idea of the longevity industry is to shift the existing medical paradigm from reaction,disease treatment, to prevention and health optimization. Longevity clinics are the closest we can get to this paradigm, at the moment. #longevity #longevityclinics #agingresearch Kudos to Evelyne Bischof, MD, PhD Joanna Bensz, Eric Verdin, David Karow Andrea B.

Two metrics we’re not ignoring from our Economic Report. As a data driven company, The Confident Clincian’s mission is to make research more accessible for practitioners in integrative medicine. With such a large community, we’re able to provide insights into the health of our practitioners business’s, and help them make decisions based on population data. Aside from a few “don’t worry you’ll make money” pamphlets from ND schools, there isn’t enough published data on what actually happens when people graduate. We’re 2 weeks way from closing the survey and there are two startling statistics to note. 📈Everyone feels they make a big difference in their patients health care. 📉Everyone has considered leaving the profession. We’re not happy about the disconnect between the passion for helping patients and the frustration felt by practitioners and we’re building the solutions for our members for 2025. From our member-only business training to our high level Vista coaching with Sean Robertson, we take care of our members so they can take care of their patients.
