About

At Birmingham Longevity, two physicians combine over 37 years of medical experience to deliver advanced preventive and functional medicine. Dr. Jerry L. Kitchens, Jr. founded the Vestavia practice after completing the Institute for Functional Medicine training program in 2024. Dr. Kristi Brunsvold serves as Physician and Director of Women's Health, bringing her own certification as an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. The practice builds each membership around a comprehensive first visit that runs approximately four hours. That initial evaluation includes advanced laboratory, genetic, and epigenetic testing, CT and ultrasound imaging, DEXA scanning, hormone and sleep evaluation, and a two-hour physical therapy and fitness assessment. Members receive quarterly progress scorecards and year-round access to physicians, a physical therapist, and the full medical team. Birmingham Longevity focuses on cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalances, neurodegenerative conditions, cognitive decline, osteoporosis, and chronic inflammation. Advanced diagnostics can detect early signs of disease decades before formal diagnosis, and the team measures every result against optimal health benchmarks rather than average population statistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Birmingham Longevity membership costs $9,000 per year. That fee covers the annual evaluation, year-round access to the medical team, a customized health plan with ongoing follow-through, fitness and nutrition guidance, targeted therapies, and quarterly progress scorecards.

The initial consultation runs approximately four hours. Members complete a comprehensive series of medical tests and exams, followed by a 90-minute in-depth interview with their physician and a two-hour physical therapy and fitness evaluation. This baseline visit establishes the foundation for each member's personalized plan.

The practice conducts laboratory testing, genetic and epigenetic testing, CTA and CT imaging, ultrasound imaging, DEXA scanning, hormone evaluation, cardiovascular testing, VO2 max assessment, strength testing, glucose monitoring, and sleep consultation. The team tailors each test to the individual member's health history, family history, and risk profile.

Members receive year-round access to physicians, a physical therapist, and the full medical staff. The practice also delivers quarterly progress scorecard reports with ongoing health monitoring between visits. Higher membership tiers include a wearable monitoring device for continuous 24/7 health tracking.

The practice focuses on cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalances, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative conditions, cognitive decline, chronic inflammation, and cancer risk. Diagnostics can detect early signs of some conditions decades before a formal diagnosis, giving members time to intervene meaningfully.

The practice primarily serves adults from their 30s through their 60s and beyond. The team holds that longevity work produces the greatest benefit when it starts in the early 40s. Members tend to be proactive about their health and want real data, a clear plan, and a medical team that holds them accountable year-round.

The practice measures every clinical result against optimal health benchmarks, not average population statistics. This means members receive context for their data based on what genuinely healthy looks like, not simply what falls within a broad normal range.

Yes. Each physician at Birmingham Longevity limits their patient panel. That limit allows the team to invest meaningful time with each member throughout the year rather than the four-to-seven minute visits typical elsewhere.

Prospective members can reach Birmingham Longevity by phone at (205) 855-7787 or by email during Monday through Friday business hours. The practice also offers an online contact form and a scheduling tool to reserve a consultation spot directly.
