Northwestern Medicine Human Longevity Clinic

The Human Longevity Clinic's biological age assessment is a wellness consultation, and insurance does not cover it. Patients pay out of pocket for the program. The clinic recommends speaking with your healthcare professional about how results fit into your broader medical care.

The initial visit runs approximately half a day. During that time, the clinic conducts testing across multiple organ systems, including cardiopulmonary, neurocognitive, musculoskeletal, sensory, and body composition assessments. The team also performs advanced epigenetic, molecular, and AI-based analyses to estimate biological age.

The clinic uses a wide range of tools. These include VO2 Max testing, epigenetic clock analysis via DNA methylation, AI retinal imaging, DXA body composition scans, pulse wave velocity, comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1c, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein(a), advanced lipids, EKG, heart rate variability, spirometry, grip strength, gait speed, and neurocognitive and sensory assessments.

After the initial half-day visit, patients meet with their physician for a detailed results consultation and a customized report. They then consult with an exercise physiologist and registered dietitian to build fitness and nutrition plans. At six months, the clinic repeats key tests to measure progress. A final follow-up reviews results and refines the health plan.

A physician reviews your results with you during a dedicated follow-up consultation. The clinic's team includes specialists in family medicine, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and cardiology. An exercise physiologist and registered dietitian also work with patients to translate results into actionable fitness and nutrition strategies.

Yes. The Human Longevity Clinic collaborates with the Human Longevity Laboratory within the Potocsnak Longevity Institute at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. That collaboration keeps clinical assessments grounded in current longevity research, including work on SuperAger populations and molecular markers of aging.

No. The biological age assessment does not replace medical advice for diagnosing, treating, or preventing any disease or medical condition. The clinic recommends that patients consult their healthcare professional before using biological age results to guide any health or medical decisions.

Yes. The program includes a six-month follow-up that repeats key tests to evaluate changes in biological age markers. The clinic also sets up wellness platform profiles for each patient, allowing ongoing tracking of health data and progress toward personalized goals.
