GET READY FOR the next big thing in your personal healthcare. The fast-emerging trend of longevity clinics has the goal of making you healthier longer by giving you deeper knowledge and insights into your own biology. This new medical approach that is gaining momentum is the new disruptor to current traditional medical practices. Right now, it’s out of the price range of many people, but with continued advancements in technology, it may help lead the way to a whole new approach to our health. Here’s a look at what’s out there changing the landscape now.

Fueled by the advancements in medical technology converging with artificial intelligence, innovative doctor-led clinics are using evidence based big data combined with your personal data to develop better diagnoses and treatments for personalized intervention plans.

Unlike the usual 15–20-minute visit with your primary care doctor, imagine the idea of spending several hours having a complete workup that starts with an in-depth medical consultation, followed by genetic and epigenetic testing, gut and oral microbiome analyses, glucose monitoring, therapeutic plasma exchange and more. Now imagine added layers that look at your diet and nutrition, body composition and VO2max numbers, your sleep patterns, all leading to an individualized plan that is designed just for you and all monitored over time by your wearable of choice.

Created by a growing breed of doctors, scientists, and investors who are immersed in the idea of longevity as the new horizon for medicine, its purpose is to be a more proactive and preventative approach, regardless of your age.
