Longevity clinics charge $5,000 to $100,000+ annually for comprehensive health optimization programs that go far beyond traditional medicine. These facilities combine advanced diagnostics, personalized protocols, and cutting-edge therapies to detect disease years before symptoms appear. The market has exploded since 2020. Prenuvo generated $100 million in 2024. Fountain Life operates multiple centers. Forward Health raised $225 million before shutting down. Furthermore, the model is reshaping how affluent Americans think about healthcare. This is no longer concierge medicine. This is performance engineering for the human body.
How Longevity Clinics Differ from Traditional Medicine
Traditional medicine is reactive. You get sick. You see a doctor. They treat the illness. Longevity clinics invert this model entirely. They use advanced diagnostics to detect disease risk years before clinical symptoms appear. Furthermore, they design personalized intervention protocols based on your unique biology.
The diagnostic toolkit includes full-body MRI scanning, advanced blood panels testing 90-150+ biomarkers, genetic testing, coronary calcium scoring, DEXA body composition analysis, VO2 max cardiovascular fitness testing, and AI-powered risk modeling. These assessments create a comprehensive baseline. Consequently, changes can be detected early during annual or quarterly follow-ups.
The treatment side incorporates hormone optimization, peptide therapies, IV nutrient infusions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, and personalized supplement protocols. Some clinics offer experimental interventions like senolytics (which clear damaged cells) and NAD+ infusions. Furthermore, most include nutrition planning, exercise programming, and sleep optimization.
Top Longevity Clinic Models
Fountain Life operates multiple locations and offers executive health packages ranging from $2,500 to $10,000+. Co-founded by Peter Diamandis and Tony Robbins, it combines AI diagnostics with comprehensive imaging. The basic package includes a full-body MRI, advanced blood testing, and coronary calcium scoring. Furthermore, premium tiers add genetic testing, brain health screening, and specialist consultations.
Prenuvo focuses specifically on whole-body MRI screening. With 17 clinics, $100 million in 2024 revenue, and $120 million in fresh funding, it’s the largest pure-play imaging company in the space. Scans range from $999 to $4,499. Furthermore, the company has added blood testing, brain health assessments, and body composition analysis to its offerings. See our detailed Prenuvo review.
Wild Health offers precision medicine programs starting around $2,000 annually. It emphasizes genetic testing and genomics-based personalization. Moreover, 10X Health System, founded by Gary Brecka, provides blood chemistry analysis, genetic testing, and customized supplement and hormone protocols. Brecka’s work with Dana White brought massive visibility to the model.
What Longevity Programs Cost
Entry-level longevity assessments run $2,500-5,000. These typically include advanced blood panels and a single imaging study. Mid-range programs cost $5,000-15,000. They add full-body MRI, genetic testing, cardiac imaging, and extended physician consultations. Furthermore, premium comprehensive programs range from $15,000-50,000 and include everything plus ongoing monitoring, specialist access, and experimental therapies.
The most exclusive programs exceed $100,000 annually. These provide dedicated physician teams, quarterly full assessments, real-time biomarker monitoring through wearable integration, and access to cutting-edge interventions. Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint at $2 million per year represents the theoretical ceiling.
The Evidence Gap
The central challenge facing longevity clinics is the same one facing the entire preventive health industry. Early detection sounds logical. However, proving that it actually extends life requires long-term studies that most companies haven’t yet completed. The ACR does not endorse routine whole-body MRI screening. Furthermore, false positives generate anxiety and unnecessary follow-up procedures.
Nevertheless, compelling anecdotal evidence accumulates. Prenuvo patients have discovered Stage 1 cancers that would have gone undetected for years. Fountain Life has identified cardiac risks in asymptomatic executives. Furthermore, the data from continuous monitoring through wearables and repeated testing does provide physicians with information that traditional annual checkups cannot match.
Where Longevity Clinics Fit in the Economy
The longevity economy has emerged as a distinct market category. It sits above concierge medicine and executive physicals in both cost and comprehensiveness. The target audience is affluent individuals willing to invest significantly in extending healthspan. For the Hamptons and Manhattan set, longevity clinics have become the new status health investment. The conversation at dinner parties has shifted from which doctor you see to which diagnostics you’ve run.

Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint protocol represents the ceiling at $2 million per year. Most programs are self-pay.
What do longevity clinics test for?
Tests include full-body MRI, advanced blood panels (90-150+ biomarkers), genetic testing, coronary calcium scoring, DEXA body composition, VO2 max fitness, and AI-powered risk modeling. Furthermore, some include brain health screening, hormone panels, and inflammatory marker analysis.
Are longevity clinics covered by insurance?
Generally no. Most longevity clinic services are considered elective preventive screening. Insurance may cover specific individual tests if ordered by a physician for medical necessity. However, comprehensive packages are typically self-pay. Furthermore, HSA and FSA accounts may be eligible for certain services.
What is the best longevity clinic?
Top options include Fountain Life (comprehensive diagnostics + AI), Prenuvo (whole-body MRI leader with $100M revenue), 10X Health System (Gary Brecka’s personalized protocols), and Wild Health (genomics-based). Furthermore, academic centers like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic offer executive longevity programs.
Do longevity clinics actually extend lifespan?
No long-term controlled studies prove life extension from these programs. However, early cancer detection and cardiac risk identification have demonstrably improved individual outcomes. Furthermore, continuous biomarker monitoring provides data that traditional annual checkups miss. The evidence base is growing but not yet definitive.
