Longevity Medicine - A Novel Paradigm or Refurbished Healthcare?



​


The emerging field of longevity medicine might be just Wellness 2.0 with doctors. Or it could be the field that unlocks immortality. Everyone from tech bros to academics debate on the actual definition of what constitutes longevity medicine, with each player claiming a piece of the industry (while it's hot, anyways).

In my view, longevity medicine is the pinnacle of functional, integrative, precision, preventive, and personalized healthcare. But while functional or precision medicine takes a paragraph to describe, longevity medicine is instantaneously something anybody could get behind.

Whether it includes regenerative interventions like peptides and stem cells, or is simply optimized evidence-based healthcare, the common ground definition of longevity medicine is its mission to extend not just lifespan but healthspan—the period of life spent in good health, free from the chronic diseases and disabilities of aging. It integrates advancements in biotechnology, personalized medicine, and preventive health strategies to delay (or even prevent!) the onset of age-related decline.

This week, I’m digging into the fascinating—and sometimes messy—reasons I believe in longevity medicine. What is it really? Is it just hype? A billionaires-only club? Or is it a necessary shift in how we approach health for individuals and society?...

Dr. Hillary Lin & Livora Health The Long Game Hi Reader, Happy Holidays!
