Advanced and emerging care in San Francisco Bay Area

These sit at the experimental end of the field, and they are grouped separately for that reason rather than mixed in beside a calcium score. Below is what each is intended to do and the evidence tier we assign it. Several are sold confidently by clinics that publish no outcome data, and a clinic offering them is not thereby doing something wrong, but the burden of proof sits differently here than it does on a blood panel.

2 of the 9 clinics in our San Francisco Bay Area guide, each with the published services behind the claim.

What is in this group, and how well established it is

Peptide therapyexperimental: Compounded peptides marketed for recovery, growth hormone and repair.
NAD+ therapyexperimental: Infusions or shots of a cellular-energy cofactor.

Tiers are ours, not the clinic’s, and describe the strength of published evidence for the test rather than the quality of any clinic offering it.

Naturopathic and functional medicine practice

Radiant Health SF

Marina and Cow Hollow, San Francisco

Biological age measured with an epigenetic test, then a hormone-led plan built from the result.

A naturopathic practice in the Marina with three doctors, built first around hormones and now selling a longevity track on top of that. The front door is biological age: they use the TruAge epigenetic test from TruDiagnostics, an at-home kit you mail back, and turn the result into a protocol that can include peptides, metformin, bioidentical hormones, supplements and lifestyle changes. Alongside that sit NAD+ infusions and injections, GLP-1 and HCG weight loss, thyroid and menopause care, and a long menu of send-out functional lab tests through named outside laboratories. New patients start with a Health Strategy Call rather than an appointment. Nothing we read says what any of it costs, whether insurance is billed, or when the office is open, and the site publishes two different San Francisco addresses.

Naturopathic longevity and functional medicine clinic

Young Naturopathic Center for Wellness

Blossom Hill Road, Los Gatos

A naturopathic practice that leads with testing: VO2 max, grip strength and the clinic's NutrEval panel of over 130 markers before anyone reaches for a treatment.

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.

Diagnostics include: VO2 max testing
