Fellowship in Integrated Longevity Medicine

Offered by Doctyn Academy

🧬 What is Longevity Medicine?

Longevity medicine is an emerging field focused on preventing, slowing, or reversing age-related decline, using cutting-edge science in:

• Molecular biology of aging

• Lifestyle medicine

• Personalized nutrition

• Advanced diagnostics (genomics, biomarkers)

• Hormone optimization

• Regenerative therapies
  The aim is to help patients extend healthspan, not just lifespan — meaning more years lived in good health.

🎓 What is a Fellowship in Longevity Medicine?

A fellowship in longevity medicine provides post-graduate medical professionals with advanced knowledge in:
✅ Biology of aging and age-related diseases
✅ Precision medicine and personalized anti-aging protocols
✅ Biomarkers of aging (epigenetic clocks, telomere testing, etc.)
✅ Hormonal therapies (testosterone, estrogen, growth hormone)
✅ Regenerative and cellular therapies (stem cells, exosomes)
✅ Nutrition, fasting, supplements for healthy aging
✅ Cognitive and physical function preservation
✅ Ethical and practical considerations in longevity care

🔹 European Society of Preventive, Regenerative, and Anti-Aging Medicine (ESAAM): Offers modules and workshops.
🔹 Buck Institute for Research on Aging (California, US): Conducts research and some specialized training opportunities in aging science (more research-focused than clinical).
🔹 Online certificates: Many platforms like A4M, Medvarsity, or Doctyn Academy offer shorter programs focusing on anti-aging and longevity medicine fundamentals.

🎯 Who Should Enroll?

• Primary care physicians

• Internists, geriatricians

• Endocrinologists

• Wellness doctors

• Physicians looking to build a private practice focused on longevity/anti-aging

🚨 Important Note

While the field is booming, longevity medicine is still a frontier area. Many therapies are off-label or lack large-scale long-term studies. Ethical, legal, and regulatory considerations vary by country.
