Longevity medicine is moving faster than most people realize.

In the past few years, we’ve watched GLP-1 medications, PCSK9 inhibitors, metabolic therapies, hormone optimization tools, and even new dementia treatments become part of real clinical practice. These aren’t futuristic ideas anymore ,they’re already reshaping how we think about aging and prevention.

But there’s an important balance to remember.
Longevity medications can buy you time, but lifestyle is what buys you life.

In my latest Substack post, I break down the medications that truly matter, the science behind them, and how they fit into a smarter, preventive-care approach to aging. If you care about your long-term health, this is worth a read.

This morning, I have the solemn duty of sharing that my long-time patient and friend, Robin, passed away after his fight with cancer. Robin and I had known each other for nearly 15 years, from the time he and his wife, Beth, whom we also lost last year, became my patients.

One thing I truly value as a healer is how the bonds we form in care transcend all differences. Robin was Jewish and I am Muslim, but those labels never mattered in the face of the simple, shared humanity that defines the relationship between a doctor and a patient. We never needed to focus on any divides; instead, we found so much meaning in the trust, the conversations, and the genuine human connection that healthcare can bring.

At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about: humanity and compassion. Robin, you will be deeply missed, and I am grateful for the time we shared.
