DEXA and VO₂ max testing in San Francisco Bay Area

The measurements that track whether you will still be independent in thirty years: bone density, lean muscle, and the cardiorespiratory fitness that predicts longevity better than almost anything else you can measure.

Body composition is measured by DEXA or by bioimpedance, which are different tests at different prices. Bioimpedance is offered under brands like InBody.

Longevity and regenerative medicine clinic

Biohackr Health, Palo Alto

Bryant Street, downtown Palo Alto

The Peninsula half of a two-clinic brand, with the $295 monthly testing membership and an IV, EBO2 and metabolic-testing menu.

Biohackr's second Bay Area clinic, on Bryant Street in downtown Palo Alto, opened in 2022. The brand sells two structured longevity products, a $295 monthly membership that runs one new test a month for six months and a $7,750 Benchmark baseline that adds cancer screening and a coronary calcium scan at Stanford, and both are advertised across the brand rather than per site. What the clinic says about this address is narrower: medical grade skin care and supplements, semaglutide weight management, aesthetic treatments, IV infusion therapies, EBO2 and laser treatments. Two testing pages add to that, naming Palo Alto as where VO2 max and resting metabolic rate testing run, with San Francisco coming soon. Treatment is given by registered nurses under one supervising physician, Dr. Lori Bluvas, a board-certified OB/GYN who co-founded the brand and is shared between both sites. Insurance is not taken. Prices are published for the memberships and for a handful of tests, and not for treatments bought singly.

Concierge primary care with an executive health program

My Doctor Medical Group

Union Square, San Francisco

An executive physical spread over three to four weeks, with the marker list published and the physician still there afterwards.

A physician-owned concierge practice on Sutter Street that has been running since 2008, built around two things you can buy separately. The first is an executive health evaluation that runs over three to four weeks rather than one morning: a 60-minute video intake before any test is ordered, a coordinated testing day downtown, a physical at the Sutter Street office, then a written report, a slide deck and a 60-minute conversation about what it all means. The clinic publishes what is in it, down to the marker names: NMR lipoprofile, Lp(a), ApoB, hs-CRP, fasting insulin, a thyroid panel, a CT calcium score, a carotid CIMT ultrasound, a stress test, a 163-gene hereditary risk panel, Galleri multi-cancer detection, a home sleep study, spirometry, optometry and audiology. It starts at $12,500. The second is membership, in a Priority, VIP or Home Care tier, where the same physicians carry the plan forward with 24/7 access, house calls where indicated and admitting privileges at CPMC. No membership fee is published anywhere, and the add-on studies are priced individually at intake, so the two numbers that decide your total are both conversations rather than pages.

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.
