What is Longevity Medicine? A Beginner’s Guide to Extending Healthspan
At HormoneSynergy® Clinic in Portland and Lake Oswego, our mission is to help patients optimize healthspan—not just lifespan. Longevity medicine combines the latest advances in functional medicine, preventive cardiology, hormone optimization, and precision diagnostics to help you live longer, healthier, and with more vitality.
Healthspan vs. Lifespan—Why the Difference Matters
-
Lifespan is how long you live.
-
Healthspan is how long you live in good health—free from chronic disease, frailty, and cognitive decline.
At HormoneSynergy®, we focus on maximizing healthspan by identifying and addressing risk factors before they become problems.
