Unleashing Human Vitality
Healthspan optimizes human performance through interventions targeting cellular senescence. We empower our patients to regain control over the levers of aging that are at the foundation of most age-related chronic diseases.
The Biological Targets of Aging
Therapy for Your Cells
As we age, we accumulate more damaged and dysfunctional cells that are unable to carry out their original functions. Some of these cells—senescent cells—go a step further and recruit healthy cells to be dysfunctional as well.
Healthspan focuses on interventions that target these damaged senescent cells.
Autophagy
Autophagy is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells.
Cellular senescence
In aging, all roads lead to senescent cells. As we accumulate senescent cells, we have less energy and are more fragile.
Metabolic Health
Interventions that increase mitochondria efficiency in health cells, and cutting off preferred fuel sources for dysfunctional cells.
mTOR Driven Aging
The Rapamycin Protocol
Rapamycin is considered to be the most promising healthspan-promoting intervention for its role in slowing down the formation of senescent cells.
Using the Healthspan™ algorithm, our medical team creates a custom treatment and dosing protocol of Rapamycin. Your doctor prescribes a treatment plan, explaining the benefits and what to expect. Your doctor will review & optimize your dosage every 30 days.
