Longevity Clinics: how to choose a clinic

What to look for

• A named medical director with published or verifiable clinical background.
• A diagnostic panel that goes beyond a "biological age" score — ApoB, Lp(a), fasting insulin, hs-CRP, DEXA, VO2 max.
• A written plan you own — not just a dashboard you log into.
• Willingness to say "no" to interventions that lack evidence for you specifically.

Questions to ask

• What is included in your baseline workup and how often is it repeated?
• Which biomarkers do you actually treat to, and what are the targets?
• Do you have exercise physiology and nutrition on staff, or is it all referrals?
• How do you handle CGM, HRT, or peptides — as defaults or as options based on labs?
• What is the all-in annual cost?

Red flags

• Charges $10k+ for a "biological age" test with no clinical follow-through.
• Sells stem cell or exosome IVs for general "anti-aging" without a real indication.
• Every patient leaves with the same 15-supplement stack.

Typical cost

US longevity programs typically range from $2,500 for a one-time diagnostic workup to $10,000–$25,000/year for a full concierge program including labs, imaging, and coaching.
