Biograph, San Francisco Bay Area
Biograph's founding clinic sits in San Mateo, not in San Francisco, about fifteen minutes from SFO. You buy a year, not a visit: one six-hour day in a private suite running twenty or more assessments, then a report and a one-to-one review with a Biograph physician about three weeks later, then calls with a dietitian and an exercise physiologist. Core covers whole-body MRI, a comprehensive blood panel, DEXA and VO2 max. Black roughly doubles the price and adds coronary CT angiography, a low-dose lung CT, a multi-cancer blood test, brain health assessment, mid-year labs and a glucose monitor. Two physicians are named for this clinic, which is more than most operators of this size publish. What you will not find anywhere we read is a phone number, opening hours, or what year two costs.
Diagnostics include: Genetic & genomic testing · Neurocognitive testing · Continuous glucose monitoring
Young Naturopathic Center for Wellness
A naturopathic clinic on Blossom Hill Road that has been in the same place since 2004, built by Dr. Renee Young around testing rather than treatments. The diagnostics list is the most detailed part of the site and it is unusually specific: VO2 max, InBody body composition and grip strength measured in the office, take-home sleep studies, a NutrEval panel the clinic says reads over 130 biomarkers, hormone panels itemised marker by marker for women and men, GI-MAP and GI Effects stool testing, a 189-food sensitivity panel, urine toxin and heavy-metal screens, Galleri, Cologuard, polygenic risk scores, ApoE, calcium scoring, DEXA and telomere testing. Blood is drawn in the office on the day of your appointment and the named lab partners are Quest, Labcorp, BioReference, Genova, Doctor's Data and Galleri. Results take one to four weeks. The treatment side is what a naturopathic longevity clinic usually carries: hyperbaric oxygen, IV nutrient therapy, NAD+, peptides, bioidentical hormones, testosterone and GLP-1 weight care. Dr. Young is primary care doctor for most of the practice. The first conversation is free and nothing after it has a published price.
