What our clients are saying

Dr. Joel is incredible.  The changes I have made based upon his evaluation are profound.  At age 69, I have no time to wait to become more aggressive about my health. Dr. Joel ordered a customized set of lab work, most things my primary care physician never evaluated. I realize now that I was conditioned to think that everything I needed to monitor was covered by my insurance.  Not so!  I wish I had started investing in my “preventative maintenance” sooner.
My insulin resistance is now being treated BEFORE it turns into diabetes. I look to control by ApoB levels, not my cholesterol. I sleep better. My arthritis inflammation has improved. I encourage everyone interested in healthier golden years to contact Dr. Joel. He is the professional you need to guide your longevity healhspan.

I’ve always considered myself as someone in good health, working out 4-5x per week and maintaining a healthy diet and weight. But I always wanted to understand what is going on inside my body and take measured steps to reduce the risk of disease later in life.
Dr. Wussow made the entire process easy and helped me better understand my health, mind, body, and what to do to optimize them all. He helped me move from good to great in several areas we tested and are still monitoring. I look forward to see how much more improvement I make as we continue my personalized regimen.

Dr. Joel is an amazing anti-aging doctor who has helped me feel better than ever before. I was struggling with fatigue, low energy, and a general feeling of malaise. I had seen other doctors, but no one could figure out what was wrong. Dr. Joel took the time to listen to my concerns and ran a comprehensive set of tests. He then developed a personalized treatment plan that included diet, exercise, and supplements.
Within just a few weeks of following Dr. Joel’s plan, I started to feel a difference. I had more energy, I was sleeping better, and my mood improved. After six months, I felt like a new person. I was back to doing the things I loved, and I had a renewed zest for life.
I am so grateful to Dr. Joel for helping me feel better. He is a true expert in anti-aging medicine, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their health and vitality.
