Aging & Longevity

Introduction: Why Aging Needs a New Approach

Aging is inevitable—but how you age is not. At Patients Medical in New York City, we view aging not as a disease but as a process we can optimize. Our integrative model combines functional medicine, lifestyle therapy, and advanced diagnostics to help you live longer and healthier.

We don’t just add years to your life—we add life to your years.

What Is Aging—and Why It Accelerates

Aging is the progressive decline in cellular function, hormonal balance, and organ performance. While aging is natural, it is often accelerated by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and hormonal decline.
Key contributors to accelerated aging:

  • Cellular damage from oxidative stress and toxins
  • Chronic inflammation (inflammaging)
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced energy production
  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol)
  • Poor gut health and microbiome dysregulation
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Psychological stress and poor sleep

Common Signs of Accelerated Aging

If you’re experiencing the following, it may be time to address aging proactively:

Root Causes: Why Am I Aging Faster Than I Should?

Our integrative team looks deeper than just your birth date. We investigate the biological drivers of aging through functional medicine:

  • Chronic inflammation (“inflammaging”)
  • Oxidative stress damaging cells and DNA
  • Hormone decline (testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, thyroid)
  • Leaky gut and immune dysregulation
  • Exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors
  • Telomere shortening and mitochondrial depletion
  • Stress and cortisol imbalance
  • Poor detoxification and liver function

Advanced Diagnostic Testing We Use

We offer cutting-edge lab testing to understand your biological age and what’s driving it:

Comprehensive hormone panels (thyroid, cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, melatonin)

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine, cytokines)

Mitochondrial function and energy markers

Nutrient and antioxidant panels

Oxidative stress and toxin burden tests

Gut microbiome and leaky gut testing

Genetic markers for longevity and detoxification (MTHFR, APOE)

Telomere length and epigenetic age testing

Real Case Study: Evelyn’s Age Reversal Journey

Evelyn, 59, came to us with chronic fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormonal symptoms. Her biological age tested 10 years older than her chronological age.

We developed a personalized plan:

  • Hormone balancing with bioidentical estrogen and thyroid support
  • Gut repair and detox protocol
  • Anti-aging diet with intermittent fasting
  • IV NAD+ and glutathione infusions
  • Resveratrol and CoQ10 supplementation

After 4 months, Evelyn lost 18 pounds, restored energy and mental clarity, and reversed her biological age by 7 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. By reducing inflammation, optimizing hormones, supporting detox pathways, and enhancing cellular energy, we can slow biological aging.

Chronological age is your calendar age. Biological age reflects how well your body is functioning—and it can be reversed.

Bioidentical hormone therapy is safe when used under physician supervision and individualized based on testing.

NAD+ is a coenzyme critical to energy and cellular repair. IV or oral NAD+ can restore vitality and slow aging.

 Many patients notice improvement in energy, mood, sleep, and skin within 4–8 weeks. Deeper cellular and hormonal shifts take 3–6 months.

Yes, we tailor treatments to your hormonal profile, lifestyle, and health status—including andropause and menopause support.

Our Longevity Protocol combines diet, hormone optimization, IV therapy, detox, and stress management customized to your biological needs.

Yes. We offer telomere, epigenetic age, mitochondrial function, and advanced biomarker panels to measure and monitor aging.

No. Our goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and habits to maintain your progress long-term.

 We are an out-of-network provider but offer superbills for insurance reimbursement. Some labs may be partially covered.
