Longevity Medicine FAQ
10 frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about longevity optimization, healthspan extension, and anti-aging medicine at IAM Wellness.
1What is longevity medicine?
Longevity medicine focuses on extending not just lifespan, but healthspan—the years you live in optimal health, energy, and vitality using evidence-based interventions.
2What's the difference between lifespan and healthspan?
Lifespan is how long you live. Healthspan is how many of those years are spent in good health. Our goal is to maximize both.
3How do you measure biological age?
We use advanced biomarkers including DNA methylation (epigenetic clocks), telomere length, inflammatory markers, metabolic health, and organ function tests.
4Can you really slow down aging?
Yes, research shows that lifestyle modifications, targeted supplements, hormones, peptides, and other interventions can measurably slow biological aging.
5What treatments are included in longevity programs?
Our programs may include NAD+ therapy, peptides, hormone optimization, IV nutrients, senolytics, hyperbaric oxygen, and comprehensive lifestyle protocols.
6At what age should I start longevity optimization?
The earlier, the better. Prevention is more effective than treatment. However, benefits can be achieved at any age.
7How much does a longevity program cost?
Comprehensive longevity programs range from $2,500 to $10,000+ annually depending on the treatments included and testing frequency.
8How often do I need to see you for longevity care?
Typically quarterly visits for testing and protocol adjustments, with ongoing support between appointments.
9What lifestyle changes are most important for longevity?
Sleep optimization, regular exercise, stress management, nutrition, social connection, and purpose are foundational. We build on these with medical interventions.
10Are longevity treatments safe?
Yes, we use evidence-based treatments with established safety profiles. All protocols are physician-supervised and regularly monitored.
