Preventive medicine with a longer time horizon: measure what predicts the next thirty years, change what can be changed, and be honest about the rest. In Conroe, Houston, Fulshear and Katy, and by telehealth for patients in Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina.
No drug, peptide, supplement or infusion has been shown to extend human lifespan. What can be changed is how the next decades are spent — and most of that is measurable.
Longevity medicine is the organised, measured practice of reducing the risks that shorten healthy life and preserving the capacities that make later decades worth having: cardiovascular and metabolic health, muscle and strength, sleep, cognition, hormones where they are genuinely out of range, and the preventive screening you are due for. It is not a product, a protocol or a stack. Our approach follows the National Institute on Aging's position that the evidence for healthy aging rests on physical activity, nutrition, sleep, cognitive and social engagement, and managing treatable risk — not on anti-aging products.
It is also not a promise. Compounds that extend lifespan in the NIA's Interventions Testing Program extend it in mice. That is real science and it is not a human result. Any clinic that tells you otherwise is describing what the FDA calls a health fraud scam, and we will not be that clinic.
This is the table most longevity pages leave out. It is the first thing we go through with you, because it determines where your money and effort should go.
| Approach | What the evidence supports | What it cannot claim |
|---|---|---|
| Physical activity, strength training and protein adequacy | The NIA identifies physical activity as central to healthy aging, alongside nutrition, sleep, and cognitive and social engagement | An exercise plan is not a lifespan guarantee, and no single programme suits everyone |
| Treating blood pressure, lipids and blood sugar | Validated risk estimation such as the AHA PREVENT equations, and diagnostic thresholds such as the ADA's A1c of 5.7–6.4% for prediabetes, turn a vague worry into a number you can act on | Risk estimates describe populations; they do not predict one person's future |
| Preventive screening | USPSTF grade A and B recommendations identify the screening with net benefit at your age and risk | Screening finds disease earlier; it does not replace treating what is found |
| Medical weight management, including GLP-1 medication | FDA-approved medications with labeled indications, used with nutrition and activity under supervision | These are approved for weight and metabolic indications — not as anti-aging drugs |
| Hormone therapy | Appropriate for people with a properly diagnosed deficiency, on symptoms plus repeated testing | The Endocrine Society states symptoms alone are not diagnostic, and that obesity-related low testosterone is usually treated first with weight loss |
| Longevity peptides, NAD precursors and anti-aging supplements | Active research, and some FDA-approved peptide medicines for specific indications | The NIA is explicit that no supplement has been shown to prevent aging; compounded and research-only products are not FDA-approved for human use |
| "Biological age" and epigenetic clocks | A useful research tool for studying populations | Not standardised or validated for clinical decisions; we do not treat a number from one |
Which tests are ordered depends on your age, sex, history and risk. These are the areas a longevity evaluation covers, and what is being looked for in each.
Blood pressure, lipids, fasting glucose and A1c, kidney and liver function, and a validated risk estimate over ten and thirty years. The ADA's thresholds — an A1c of 5.7–6.4% for prediabetes — decide whether this is watching or acting.
Weight is a poor summary. What matters is the ratio of muscle to fat, whether muscle is being lost, and whether strength and function are holding — the things that decide independence later.
Tested when symptoms and history justify it, on early-morning, repeated measurement. Treated when the diagnosis is real; not treated when the better answer is sleep, weight or another cause.
Sleep quality, snoring and daytime sleepiness, mood, alcohol, and cognitive and social engagement. Untreated sleep apnea undoes a great deal of otherwise good work, and it is easy to miss.
We check what the USPSTF recommends at your age and risk, and tell you what is outstanding — including the screening we do not perform ourselves and will refer you for.
Sell you a supplement stack as a mechanism, treat a biological-age score, prescribe hormones on symptoms alone, or describe a compounded or research-only product as FDA-approved.
History, medications, family history, sleep, activity, and what you actually want the next decades to look like. Selected laboratory testing is ordered from that conversation, not from a fixed panel sold in advance.
Results are reviewed with you against published thresholds and a validated risk estimate. You leave with a short list in priority order, including the items that are not treatments — sleep, strength, a screening you are overdue for.
Follow-up at a set interval repeats the measurements that matter, so the question "did this work?" has an answer. Anything that did not move gets changed or stopped.
Practical planning information, not promises. Your consultation determines the actual plan.
Each of these has its own page with candidacy, evidence and regulatory status set out in full. A longevity plan decides which, if any, belong in yours.
Physician-supervised weight care including FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, used for their labeled indications with nutrition and activity — not as anti-aging drugs.
What is FDA-approved, what is compounded, and what is research-only are three different things. Our peptide education centre separates them before anything is prescribed.
Evaluation first, on repeated early-morning testing. For men and for women, with the risks and the alternatives stated before anything is prescribed.
Erectile dysfunction, energy, body composition and hormones share risk factors, so they are evaluated together rather than one prescription at a time.
Sun damage, texture and volume loss are visible, measurable and treatable — LaseMD resurfacing, Glo2Facial GENEO, injectables and facial balancing sit alongside the medical side of a plan.
Consultation and follow-up by telehealth for patients physically located in Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina, with in-person steps where they are required.
Longevity consultations are available at all four Greater Houston locations, and by telehealth for patients physically located in Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina, subject to law and clinical appropriateness. Laboratory testing, an in-person examination or a local referral may be required.

Pricing: Consultation required. Cost depends on evaluation, laboratory testing, any medication prescribed, pharmacy and insurance coverage.
No treatment offered here — or anywhere — has been shown to extend human lifespan. Testing carries its own burdens: incidental findings, false positives and follow-up procedures that were not needed. More testing is not automatically better testing, which is why we follow published screening recommendations rather than ordering everything available. Any medication prescribed carries the risks on its label, and compounded products are not FDA-approved.
This page is patient education, not medical advice, and it is not individualized to your history. Longevity care does not replace a primary care physician or emergency care.
Medical-content evidence review: October 1, 2026. Content is written for patient education and structured from current primary regulatory, professional and government sources. It has not been individualized to your medical history. Guidance and labeling change; a licensed Identity Aesthetics provider confirms current suitability, informed consent and treatment details before care.
Bring your medication list, any labs from the last year and the questions you have been putting off. You will leave with a short, prioritised plan — including the parts that cost nothing.
