Methuselah Protocol

LONGEVITY MEDICINE FOR A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE

Danielle Ruiz, CEO and Medical Director of Everest Health Partners, has been working with the Methuselah Foundation for the past 7 years to develop the Methuselah Protocol. She brings to the clinic this innovative approach that measurably reverses biological aging while promoting long-term health and vitality.

The Methuselah Protocol is based on decades of cutting-edge longevity medicine research spanning hundreds of thousands of research papers. It incorporates evidence-based strategies that target key factors influencing:

  • Longevity and mortality rates
  • Age-related diseases
  • Overall health outcomes
  • Biological aging markers
  • Health risk indicators
  • Optimal wellness measures

Our approach is highly personalized, taking into account each patient's unique health profile, current medications, and personal goals. While not every strategy is suitable for everyone, we carefully select the most appropriate interventions from the Methuselah Protocol to create a tailored program for each individual.

For some patients, this may involve a natural, holistic approach focused on lifestyle optimization. Others may benefit from targeted interventions addressing genetic and epigenetic risks associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Regardless of your specific health objectives, we're committed to providing you with the most advanced and effective interventions available in longevity medicine today. Our goal is to help you achieve measurable improvements in your biological age and overall well-being.

LONGEVITY MEDICINE FOR A LONG A HEALTHY LIFE

Expanded physical exam

The first step in triaging health priorities and goals is a deep dive into your health history, a thorough physical exam, and extensive lab work. Finding out what precisely is going on and why is important to elucidate a plan of action to rectify these problems.

Additional things our providers look for:

  • Detailed review of personal, family, medical, life history: (Risks, epigenetic factors)
  • Detailed review of health concerns: (how your symptoms and body systems connect, and things you learn to ignore)
  • Expanded, detailed physical exam: (checking subtle, early warning signs)
  • Expanded lab work with longevity, biologic age, and health optimization-adjusted reference ranges: (cellular function, communication, energy, nourishment, age, and function of organs in isolation and in concert)

EXPANDED PHYSICAL EXAM

Biological aging and health optimization measures

We don’t all age at the same rate as each other: We all have that friend who looked 40 at 18 and your friend’s mom who could be their sister. Similarly, our body parts don’t always age at the same rate to each other. Our skin may be much older than we are, or our liver might be 80 when we’re 30. We may look great on the outside but be very ill on the inside.

The extended physical exam’s bloodwork estimates the biological age of our red blood cells, white blood cells, kidneys, liver, thyroid, as well as phenotypic age. It also has optimized ranges (versus standardized “normal” lab ranges) that are evidence-based, the values in people with the least mortality/morbidity, the least risk of disease and death; the healthiest. These updated ranges have been developed as part of the Methuselah Protocol by our CEO, which is exclusive to clients of Everest Health.

his is important when optimizing health, because you want to review your lab results looking for measures that reflect best health outcomes, not what is average.

In addition to the recommended lab testing for the Protocol, we also offer a wide range of additional tests for the client who wants to know as much as possible. We can assist the client in selecting the tests which will provide the most meaningful data. We have also assessed many of the commercially available lab tests which relate to health optimization and longevity, and work to secure discounts for our clients.

Longevity Medications

While there is currently no known method which allows humans to live forever, there are certainly prescription medications which can be used off-label to reduce risk of disease, improve overall health, and potentially extend life. Some include rapamycin, semaglutide, and metformin. Additionally, there are a multitude of non-prescription medications which are appropriate for longevity and healthspan applications.

Everest Health Partners maintains a HIPAA compliant client registry to monitor outcomes in relation to various aspects of the Protocol to ensure safety, efficacy, validity, and to optimize individualized care on an ongoing basis. Use for scientific study and publishing is entirely at the discretion of clients.

We recognize the many challenges our clients have faced when trying to source longevity medications, both prescription and non-prescription, and we are here to pave the road. We have ample experience in assisting with the most cost-effective and reliable methods. When it comes to non-prescription drugs, the volume of possibilities and questionable nature of a largely unregulated field is a concern. We have done the research to identify what are the safest, most potent, most research-based options, and can then isolate an adapted, personalized protocol which will be the best for you based on your goals, your health, and background.

Beyond Pills

Treatments and interventions such as non-ablative laser skin resurfacing, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, platelet rich plasma, and autologous stem cell treatments are some of the jumps forward in novel technology for anti-aging and health optimization. These are interventions that can turn back the clock, treat a wide range of challenging conditions (such as healing wounds, trauma, and chronic pain, advanced/chronic brain injury, vascular disease, skin photoaging, autoimmune disease and some cancers, etc.), and drastically improve quality of life even in healthy individuals.

This is a swiftly advancing field of exciting new options coming soon. Here at Everest Health, we are always embracing change when scientifically proven to help and not harm. Because of our partnerships with Methuselah Foundation, Methuselah Fund, and their seed biotech companies, our clients will have the first opportunities to participate in research trials if desired, and to innovative life-saving treatments upon FDA approval.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Hormone Replacement Therapy

The effect of reproductive hormones on overall health is extensive. Both men and women experience decreases in sex hormones with increasing age which poses significant health risks, reduced quality of life, and speeds up the aging process. At Everest Health Partners, hormone testing is standard for every client to identify risk and prevent harm early! Our priority is to help you safely, effectively, and measurably optimize your health. For many clients, this includes supplementing reproductive hormones to preserve your health and youth.

Men: After age 30, testosterone drops 1% yearly and by age 60, over 20% of men have dangerously low testosterone. This is a concern because testosterone is essential for healthy, youthful function. For individuals who have low testosterone, supplementation has many benefits including improved bone density and strength, increased muscle mass, improved physical function, decreased fat mass and visceral fat, correction of anemia, better sexual function, better mood, and reduced risk of all-cause mortality.

Women: Every single woman experiences a loss of reproductive hormones beginning around age 40, with menopause at an average of age 50. This transition has serious implications for both short and long-term health. In fact, up to 80% of women have significant negative symptoms from this loss of hormones and 100% of women experience health risks associated with menopause. Replacing these hormones in the proper way improves bone density and strength, increases muscle mass, decreases fat mass and visceral fat, improves sexual function, mood, and sleep, ameliorates genito-urinary symptoms, enhances perceived quality of life, and reduces risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and all-cause mortality.

Weight and Body Composition

In the U.S. over 70% of people have a weight that exceeds what is best for long-term health. There are many extrinsic and intrinsic factors that result in this sobering number. Despite the hard work that goes into weight loss, over 80% of weight is regained without intent. Weight loss by traditional means is nearly impossible to accomplish in the first place, let alone to maintain long term. 

At Everest Health, we use a holistic approach that combines extremely safe and effective medications, supplements, and lifestyle changes that are individualized to ensure that you are able to reach a healthy body composition and maintain it in the long term without the insurmountable effort of the past. Our goal is to address the root causes that make it difficult to reduce adiposity to ensure that this is the last time you will have to struggle with your weight.

We all want to feel comfortable in our skin and to enjoy the positive results that come with a healthy body composition and mass such as reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, osteoporosis, and injury, with improved overall organ and system function, hormone balance, mood, and athletic ability. One of our best tools to combat our genes is to maintain a body with optimized lean and adipose mass. We are here to help you, with a deep understanding of the challenges and the ability to get you to your goal!

Longevity Medicine is Rapidly Advancing

Longevity medicine is all about living a longer, healthier, happier life. Its benefits extend to people of all ages, not just seniors. While some may believe geroscience only aims to extend life's final years, our research demonstrates otherwise. By addressing the fundamental processes of aging in healthy individuals, we can increase both lifespan and "healthspan" – the period of life free from debilitating chronic diseases.

Our approach potentially slows aging or even reverses biological age to some degree. These remarkable changes can be measured using biomarkers strongly correlated with chronological age, mortality, and morbidity.

Our partnership with the Methuselah Foundation, a pioneering non-profit in longevity research, ensures we remain at the forefront of scientific advancements. This collaboration allows us to offer you the most current knowledge, precise diagnostics, and innovative treatments in the field of longevity medicine.

Here at Everest Health, we find the best so you can be your best.

BEST-IN-CLASS IN THE HEALTHSPAN SPACE

Longevity medicine holds immense promise for transforming healthcare, yet the field is not without its risks. Some practitioners offer unproven or potentially harmful treatments, while the traditional medical establishment often lags behind, taking nearly two decades to implement research-backed innovations.

At Everest Health, we navigate this complex landscape with precision. We understand that our clients value both their time and well-being, and cannot afford to wait for the sluggish pace of conventional medicine. However, we also recognize the dangers of rushing into unproven therapies.

Our approach balances innovation with caution. We rigorously evaluate emerging treatments, identifying those with the strongest scientific foundation and the most favorable risk-benefit profiles. This ensures that our clients receive cutting-edge care without compromising their safety or wasting resources on ineffective interventions.

Our partnership with the Methuselah Foundation grants us unique access to leading geroscience experts. We leverage this collaboration to stay at the forefront of longevity research, continuously refining our practices to reflect the latest evidence-based advancements. This commitment to scientific rigor and patient safety sets Everest Health apart in the field of longevity medicine.
