Why our membership

Why most people in their 30s and 40s have never had this

Standard primary care looks at cholesterol, blood pressure, maybe an A1C, and tells you everything's fine. Meanwhile your recovery is slower, your sleep is shallower, your body composition has shifted, and you suspect something has drifted in the wrong direction. The numbers your primary care runs are not built to catch that.
Foundations runs the panel that does. 80+ biomarkers including hormones, metabolic markers, inflammatory markers, cardiovascular risk markers, heavy metals, and nutrient status. Functional testing across strength, endurance, and recovery. Body composition. Your biological age via PhenoAge, a validated formula that compares your biology to your chronology.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers To Common Questions

We believe in transparency. Here are answers to the most common questions about our approach and programs.

Is this covered by insurance?

Lifetime is a membership-based program and isn't billed through insurance. Many lab and diagnostic costs may still be reimbursable depending on your plan, and HSA or FSA funds can typically be used.

Do I need to switch primary care doctors?

No. Lifetime works alongside your existing primary care. We focus on optimization, performance, and longevity, and share findings with your PCP when relevant.

How long does each visit take?

Initial assessments run 90 minutes. Follow-up visits average 45 to 60 minutes. Every visit is one-on-one with your physician, never rushed.

How quickly will I see changes?

Most members see early markers shift within the first three months. The full 12-month plan is built to drive measurable improvement across all six Body Score domains.

Can I cancel my membership?

Yes. Memberships are annual, but you can pause or cancel by speaking with our team. We'll always walk you through your options first.

Where is Lifetime Performance Medicine located?

Our clinic is in Los Gatos, California. All testing, visits, and diagnostics happen on-site.
