💬 Community Spotlight
Buzz In the Chat: Would love to create a Longevity Docs Faculty to start exploring those academy/private sector partnerships. Who’s in?
More than 20 Longevity Docs have expressed interest in collaborating with academic centers to develop more evidence-based research in the field of longevity medicine. We are moving towards a more data-driven, outcomes-focused, and evidence-based approach to medicine. Perhaps this is exactly what good medicine should be.
Doc 1: There’s tremendous interest as academic health center. I have been working with a number of interested “hospital” faculty to put together a cohesive longevity program. We are looking at a digital twin model, wearables, and big data to help inform care. We’ve crossed multiple specialties, including women’s health, neurocognitive preservation, and advanced cancer screening and testing.
Doc 2: Academic health centers Don’t want to be left behind and are very excited about the research potential. It should be done in collaboration with the Private Sector, which currently see most of the patients. We’re gonna see more and more public longevity Institutes back by research.
Doc 3: Our paper how to set up lmc in publicly funded systems is coming out next days - without public hospitals we will not have the capacity to train and teach - essential to work together, publicly and privately
Other Docs: Very interested! We need to keep spreading the word - Definitely in x10. Love this im interested - Interested too - Let's do this! I'm already an attending clinical instructor of medicine - Count me in - We’ve got longitudinal data.

Topical rapamycin reduces markers of senescence and aging in human skin: an exploratory, prospective, randomized trial
Clinical improvement in skin appearance was noted in multiple participants, and immunohistochemical analysis revealed improvement in histological appearance of skin tissue. These results indicate that rapamycin treatment is a potential anti-aging therapy with efficacy in humans.

Homocysteine metabolites inhibit autophagy by upregulating miR-21-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-216-5p, and miR-320c-3p in human vascular endothelial cells
Nutritional and genetic deficiencies in homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism lead to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and cause endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of atherosclerosis, which is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) Signaling in Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells is Required for Vascular Function
Together, these data suggest that vascular mTORC1 signaling is a critical regulator of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle function. mTORC1 signaling may represent a potential target for the treatment of vascular diseases associated with altered mTORC1 activity.

Intra-pancreatic fat is associated with continuous glucose monitoring metrics
Increased fat in the pancreas is associated with excessive glycaemic variability. Fatty change of the pancreas may contribute to heightening the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Conclusive demonstration of iatrogenic Alzheimer’s disease transmission in a model of stem cell transplantation
Stem cell transplantation from donors harboring a pathogenic mutant allele can effectively transfer central nervous system diseases to healthy recipients, mirroring the pathogenesis observed in the donor. Our observations advocate for genomic sequencing of donor specimens prior to tissue, organ, or stem cell transplantation therapies, to mitigate the risk of iatrogenic diseases.

10 key lessons for building a sustainable Longevity Clinic: insights from experience
For clinics looking to navigate the evolving landscape of the longevity market, here are key lessons based on experience.
Capital Raising Caution: Raising large amounts of capital, especially from venture capital in volatile markets, should be approached with caution. Evaluate the necessity and timing carefully. Many clinics are not structured to scale at the pace expected by venture capital investments.
Service Offering Diversification: Offering a broad range of services, including advanced diagnostics when possible, can enhance your appeal and effectiveness.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Prioritize understanding and optimizing the cost of acquiring new customers. Focus on quality over quantity to ensure sustainable growth. Leverage unconventional partnerships and marketing strategies over traditional paid advertising to avoid high costs and enhance customer engagement.
Privacy Regulations and Advertising: Adhere to privacy regulations meticulously when advertising, especially in the health and wellness sector.
Marketing and Differentiation: Investing in strategic, organic marketing and clearly articulating your clinic’s unique services is crucial. Without clear differentiation, a clinic risks being viewed just as another medspa. Clear communication and organic marketing are key to building a distinct and recognizable brand.
Recurring Revenue Model: Establishing a recurring revenue model through memberships and subscriptions is crucial for growth.
Leveraging Behavioral Economics: Implementing strategic discounts, promotions, and considering the psychology behind opt-in versus auto-renewal options can enhance customer retention.
Technology and Operations: Technical constraints, particularly in payment processing and scheduling, can significantly impede business efficiency. Additionally, implementing a data-driven Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system tailored for longevity care is crucial, as patients increasingly seek data and measurable outcomes.
Balance Online Presence with Operational Integrity: An excessive focus on online presence and growth fueled by outside capital can detract from building a solid internal business foundation.
Regulatory Environment Consideration: Being mindful of the regulatory environment, especially in locations like NYC with stringent medical regulations, is vital. Choosing a location that supports quicker adaptation and growth is advisable.
In summary, clinics operating in the longevity field should focus on innovative and natural growth strategies, make informed funding choices, rigorously control customer acquisition costs, and build a robust internal operational structure, all while being flexible to the nuances of regulatory environments.
To fully unlock your clinic's potential in the ever-changing longevity market, consider partnering with us. Our expert advisory and consulting services are customized to meet your specific challenges, turning them into opportunities for substantial growth.
