Summary

  • As a board-certified Internist, I became frustrated and disenchanted with what I was able to deliver to patients. The symptom driven approach to conventional care wasn't working to keep people well. I felt as though I just helped people tread water until they slowly got tired and drowned in the sea of otherwise preventable chronic diseases. That's when I founded Alternity Healthcare.

    Age Management is at the heart of our approach to optimal health and well-being. Advancing age is the biggest risk factor for any chronic disease, which is why we take a proactive approach to reduce the risk of these diseases. Using cutting-edge biomarker testing, artificial intelligence, and advanced diagnostics, we address and reverse risk factors for heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, cognitive decline/Alzheimer's, and other age-related conditions

    Our focus on Longevity and Healthspan sets us apart. First, we understand the impacts of the nine hallmarks of aging and use this knowledge to measure, track, personalize, and boost the factors that are known to correlate with living a healthier, longer life. We use cutting edge science to lower biological age, maximize lifespan and optimize quality of life.

    By utilizing next-generation regenerative therapeutics, including peptide therapy, we are able to transform physiological function to rejuvenate both the body and mind. We incorporate personalized Bio-Transformation and Performance Optimization principles that leverage the latest in medical technology and cutting-edge interventions to optimize health and wellness.
