What is Longevity Medicine? A Beginner’s Guide to Extending Healthspan

At HormoneSynergy® Clinic, we help patients in Portland and Lake Oswego go beyond simply living longer - we focus on living better. Longevity medicine combines functional medicine, preventive cardiology, hormone optimization, weight loss programs, and advanced diagnostics to help you achieve optimal healthspan—the years you live free from chronic disease, frailty, and cognitive decline.

Healthspan vs. Lifespan - Why the Difference Matters

• Lifespan = total years you live.

• Healthspan = years you live without chronic disease or loss of function.

At HormoneSynergy®, we use cutting-edge tools to maximize healthspan—not just lifespan—so you feel your best at every age.
