About

At BLU by ThriveWell, co-founders Dr. Gordon Chen and Dr. Jessica Chen bring two decades of outcomes-based care to Fort Lauderdale's first longevity-focused health and wellness facility. The pair previously led clinical operations at ChenMed, where Dr. Gordon served as Chief Medical Officer and Dr. Jessica as Chief Clinical Officer. They opened BLU by ThriveWell in October 2025 at a 20,000-square-foot facility on East Commercial Boulevard. The practice operates around a proprietary 3x5 Approach© that addresses three key areas: advancing health and wellness, identifying and managing risk, and measuring and maximizing vitality. Five Vitality Measures guide progress: VO2 Max, Lean Muscle Mass, Visceral and Body Fat Percentage, Balance and Mobility, and Grip Strength. Diagnostic tools include the Gold Standard Lunar iDXA body composition scan, continuous glucose monitoring, genetic and epigenetic testing, and advanced biomarker panels. Beyond medicine, the facility houses Reformer Pilates, yoga, cold plunge, infrared sauna, EMS technology, personal training, IV therapy, and mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The on-site BLU Café draws from the practice's 5 Drivers of Health and Wellness© framework. Memberships range from facility-only access starting at $279 per month to longevity medicine tiers reaching $24,000 per year, and all qualify for HSA and FSA use.
