The longevity medicine field is growing rapidly but remains unregulated in most jurisdictions. The most reliable indicators of a legitimate, evidence-based longevity physician are: familiarity with peer-reviewed aging research (Kirkland, Sinclair, Lopez-Otin), willingness to discuss risk-benefit analysis, and transparent pricing. Certifications from A4M, ABAARM, and the Longevity Medicine Alliance provide some quality signal.
Do I need a longevity doctor for natural senolytics?
No. Fisetin and quercetin are OTC dietary supplements with excellent safety profiles. A general practitioner or internist should be aware of your supplement use, but a longevity specialist is not required for natural senolytics.
How much does a longevity physician consultation cost?
Initial comprehensive consultations at longevity clinics typically cost $500–2,000 depending on the practice. Ongoing quarterly monitoring visits may cost $200–500. Telehealth options are typically lower cost ($150–400 initial).
