We are all bombarded with ads for products that promise to keep us younger, reverse aging, and fix whatever ailments might be slowing us down.  Whether their products are legitimate or not, the longevity movement has certainly ignited a curiosity in patients.  Although everyone is interested in living as long as possible, an equally important goal is to increase our health span  This is the amount of time we have when we remain active and able to do all (or most) of the activities we have come to enjoy.

At Priority Physicians, longevity has been our singular focus since Dr. Veatch and I founded the practice in 2002, long before the term became a buzzword.  As part of our standard membership and annual exam, we offer a unique panel of tests and treatments for our patients.

As the science of preventative medicine evolves rapidly, we see our role clearly: to help you separate medical fact from marketing fiction.  We evaluate the latest trends, so you don’t have to, filtering out the unproven noise to find what actually works.  Right now, we are putting together LONGEVITY PLUS, a curated selection of next generation testing and treatments that represent the future of longevity medicine. 

These include cutting-edge approaches to brain health, the gut microbiome, cardiovascular optimization, functional movement, and AI-driven genomics. We’ll be exploring all of these in upcoming publications of THE PULSE, starting with the Movement Assessment Blog in today's edition, featuring Dr. Amanda Morris, and will continue to introduce each element one by one over the next several months, as well as the associated costs for each.

As you sort through the clutter of “longevity advice” from books, social media and conversations with others, we want to continue to be your guide in this new era of medicine that can understandably cause confusion. Please do not hesitate to bring questions to your physician for guidance and direction.

Whether you are interested in LONGEVITY PLUS or those within our traditional membership structure, your physician is available to help you learn more.  

Sincerely,

Dr. Matthew Priddy

LET’S GET MOVING

We sat down with Dr. Amanda Morris to discuss our first and foundational phase of LONGEVITY PLUS, the physical movement assessment. Spoiler alert: Dr. Morris was generous enough to also include video to provide the full picture of what to expect!

Welcome, Dr. Mooney!

Dr. Michael Mooney recently joined our Indianapolis location (8333 Naab Rd) and is quickly filling his patient panel. Have family members or friends interested in joining? You can share this link and someone will reach out to them shortly. Watch a video or read more to get to know Dr. Mooney!

Did you know?

We conveniently carry cash-pay generic meds that you can purchase at the time of the visit. Sometimes it makes sense to skip the hassle of going to a pharmacy and leave our office with your first dose! Be sure to ask if your script is available and focus on getting feeling better in no time. Medications range from generic antibiotics to medications for blood pressure and statins.

Pre-Race Prescription

We know our Priority Pacemakers have been training hard, so here is a little pre-race prescription for success on May 2, whether you’re taking on the Mini or the 5k:

• Taper Time: Your heaviest training is likely behind you. Use these final weeks to taper—maintain a lighter workload to let your body recover fully. Focus on getting quality sleep.

• Stay Hydrated: Don't change things up on race week. Stick with your familiar hydration and fueling strategies. Consider increasing water intake slightly in the days leading up, but don't overdo it on race morning.

• Gear Up Right: Wear clothes and shoes you've trained in. Avoid anything new on race day.

  
  

We want to help the Priority Pacemakers stay comfortable and show our team spirit! We will have Priority Physicians goodie bags available to our team members the week leading up to the mini!
