Longevity Medicine

We know it might be a little confusing…

Longevity Medicine is an important part of the whole bunch of services we have that address healthspan and preventative health, under what we refer to as our “superpower” of longevity.

There are many ways to get started and engage with longevity services. Longevity medicine is for people who want to work with an MD over a year to address their health goals.

If medically indicated based on your history and your metrics, potential pharmacological interventions can be discussed with your longevity physician. These may include cholesterol-lowering medications (e.g. statins), anti-hypertensives, blood sugar lowering medications (e.g. metformin, GLP-1 agonists) and hormone-replacement therapy.

Our longevity medicine service is for motivated people who are keen to optimize their health, including making changes to their habits and physical activity.

This is not an “anti-aging” solution. There is no quick fix when it comes to improving your healthspan. It usually takes changes to optimize your exercise, sleep, nutrition, and emotional health. With an investment in proactive screening and testing, our longevity medicine program and specialized team can help you mitigate your risk and prevent chronic disease.

There are no real shortcuts to good health. We believe you will get out what you put in.

The personalized interventions our team suggests will vary based on your metrics, goals, and motivation. Expect to move more, eat better, test yourself, and have regular visits with the Longevity Physician.

There are certainly people who can tackle this without our help. We’re here to help make the process easier, more efficient and effective. We recognize that knowing what to do is not enough to do it. Our programming is meant to help you address hard-to-change behaviours.

We’ve already sifted through the evidence - so you don’t have to. Based on our ongoing research, learning, and evaluation, we can help you put best practices into action. Beyond that, we are experts in our fields, and we’re available to help you understand your current level of health and potential risks so you can take steps to optimize your health and live longer. We’re your support system and clinical team combined. We’ll help you put a plan in place and make sure you reach your goals.

The Longevity Program is not eligible for MSP coverage. Some insurance providers may cover certain services in the program, but you’ll need to check with your provider to confirm.

If you have a health spending account through work (or another organization), fees for the Longevity Program are often an eligible expense. Check with your employer or provider to confirm.

To make our program more accessible, we offer the option to pay in installments. However, this is not a monthly subscription; instead, it's a payment plan for the entire year-long program. By committing to a full year, you gain long-term benefits while enjoying the flexibility of installment payments.

Yes, every patient enrolled in our program will have a consult letter sent from our longevity doctors to your physician, ensuring they are informed about your enrollment, the treatments we provide, and what we do not cover. We take full responsibility for your testing and medications—we are not shifting this onto your GP. However, we prioritize keeping your doctor in the loop to ensure seamless communication. We understand the current strain on the healthcare system, and our goal is to support both primary care providers and patients by making the healthcare experience as smooth and coordinated as possible.

No problem! We offer comprehensive medical assessments, and you can opt for just our metrics phase as a standalone service. If you later decide you'd like to continue, you can easily transition into the full program at any time.

Chronic Illness: We don’t specifically investigate pre-existing health conditions unless they’re identified during our program assessments.

Comorbidities: Our focus is on proactive pre-screening and management of comorbidities that impact longevity and overall health.

Pre-existing Conditions: For conditions like IBS, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, joint pain, musculoskeletal injuries, skin conditions, and food sensitivities, while they aren’t directly treated within our program, we’re happy to refer you to the appropriate specialist within the Tall Tree network to ensure you receive the support you need.

Our program is dedicated to aggressive screening and proactive testing, evaluating your current health status and providing targeted lifestyle and/or pharmaceutical interventions to combat the Four Horsemen of chronic disease: cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.

If recommended by our longevity physician and supported by your metrics, we will intervene and connect you with the appropriate specialist. Any prescriptions initiated within the program will be closely monitored and managed throughout your participation. Medication is just one of the tools we use to help optimize your healthspan and overall well-being.

Absolutely! We can tailor this to be a shared experience, allowing you to journey through life and enhance your longevity together as a couple.
