Longevity medicine
should be
good medicine.
I write about prevention, symptoms, labs, and the places longevity medicine gets ahead of itself.
A physician’s read on longevity claims.
01
Tests that change decisions
Which labs and scans are worth doing, and what to do with the results.
02
Before you add anything
When a medication, supplement, or habit earns its place.
03
When you need a doctor
The problems that need a clinician, not another article.

Doctor-written guides on labs, exercise, supplements, medications, and longevity claims that deserve skepticism.
New work
From the desk.
The newest episode, guide, and essay — one of each, replaced as they publish.
Looking for a specific lab, supplement, medication, or symptom?
Where to start.
Know your biological age.
Not a wellness quiz. A structured assessment — sleep, exercise, labs, metabolic markers, and functional tests — that estimates where your body is relative to your calendar age.

Example: sleep, exercise, and metabolic markers align to shave ~5 years.
Good medicine first.
The same standard I use in clinic: good evidence, a clear reason to act, and a willingness to stop when something isn’t helping.
Know what you’re measuring
A lab is useful when it changes the decision, not because it makes the report look complete.
Results need context
A lab value only means something alongside symptoms, history, and what you’re trying to change.
Stopping is a treatment too
Anything worth starting deserves a check-in, and an exit if it isn’t helping.
Medicine, then systems.
Hillary trained at Stanford and Columbia, then built companies around the same problem: how to turn medical evidence into decisions people can actually use.
Clinical training
Stanford biology and medicine, Columbia oncology training.
Company building
Built a VC-backed mental health company and learned where plans break when real patients are on the other side.
CareCore
Practical safeguards for longevity care: physician review, documentation, and clear ways to pause or change direction.
Offering real care?
CareCore helps health companies offer longevity care with physician review, documentation, and follow-through, so patients get real care instead of content.
Physician review
Review care paths, catch contraindications, and keep decisions tied to a real clinical record.
Partner support
A way for health brands to offer more than content without pretending software is a doctor.
Clear follow-up
Documentation, handoffs, and a plan for when something should change or pause.
This is where I think in public.
Prevention, labs, symptoms, and healthspan, written for people who want straight answers without the miracle language.
Building in care? The CareCore Stack is the builder-side note.
For health topics that attract bad slogans.
Longevity science, women’s health, clinical AI, and how care actually gets delivered.
