About

At Protocol, the focus is on performance health and longevity for adults who treat their own biology as seriously as any other high-stakes pursuit. Dr. Rue Laka serves as Healthspan Director, leading clinical care across Boston and New York City. The practice pairs advanced physical and metabolic testing with expert clinical interpretation, building a personalized longevity plan for each member.

Protocol tracks metrics like VO2 max, muscle mass, ApoB, A1c, and metabolic health over time. Members reach their provider directly by text, call, or message. The Healthspan Advisory Team delivers remote support by phone, email, or video. In-person visits cover vaccinations, blood draws, and urgent care needs. Three annual membership tiers start at $995 per year, and the practice also offers ongoing primary care membership. Protocol accepts FSA and HSA invoices upon request.

Protocol tracks a range of performance and longevity markers. These include VO2 max, muscle mass via DEXA scanning, metabolic health, ApoB, A1c, hormone levels, inflammatory markers, and nutrient status. Members see their numbers change over time, with the care team adjusting their plan based on progress.

Protocol begins with an open conversation, not a signup form. Prospective members share their goals and health concerns directly with the team. Protocol accepts new members on a limited basis, so availability shifts over time. Interested adults can reach out through the website to connect with the team and learn which membership tier fits their needs.

Yes. The Standard Member tier includes analysis of existing bloodwork from services like Function Health, Superpower, or Lifeforce. Protocol focuses on expert clinical interpretation of that data, not just automated reports.
