Hey there... Do you have a longevity doctor? Or just a "regular" doctor? 

In this week's newsletter:🩺 Time to Find a New Provider🌐 Junk Food = Memory Issues?   

Primary Doctor, Out. Longevity Doctor, In.

In the United States, the use of a primary doctor has been in decline for years.Today, one fourth of all adults, and nearly half under the age of 30, don't have a primary care provider at all. This trend is due to a variety of reasons, which include:

  • The famous "doctor Google"

  • A decline in the actual number of primary care physicians available

  • High insurance and visit fees

  • Disenchantment with today's medicine practices (i.e. pills and band-aids)

  • The rise of urgent care centers and mini-clinics

  • Telemedicine

However, one trend that has been very clear is the rise and demand for Longevity Doctors.We've written about this extensively in the past.And now we're working on a new tool so anyone can find a preventative healthcare specialist that they can rely on. Currently, we're scanning the globe to find the best physicians who specialize in longevity medicine.We've already found dozens (New York, San Francisco, and Miami included!)... and we'll be adding many, MANY more!Until then, we want to know: 

  • Do you use a longevity doctor?

  • What has your experience been?

  • Have you asked your current doctor what kind of preventative therapies they offer?

Feel free to reply directly back to this email. 

Thanks,
