I've heard of Biohacking Buff Brian Johnson. Meet this fresh face now.
Dr. Jonathan Kuo is running Extended HealthManhattan Longevity Clinic specializes in expensive treatments that are against age, such as $12,000. Plasma replacement Session and $5,000 Enhance sex Treatment.
Fans include stars such as biohackers, CEOs, Justin Bardoni, athletes like Troy Aikman, and even royals who can afford cutting-edge care.
Kuo, 46, started a pain clinic, Hudson Health, which eventually shifted his focus from pain management to regenerative medicine and cellular health after encountering closely with his father's time.
“Even though I'm a doctor, I was overweight. I was pre-diabetic and had a brain fog. I couldn't focus,” Kuo posted. “I'm really late. This was like I was in my late 30s. “What's going on?”
The two fathers traveled the world and consulted other doctors. New technologies tested I devised a biohacking plan about six years ago.
Now trimmed with carved features and boyish face, Kuo practices preaching at Extended Health, 160 7th Ave s. Officially rebranded last summer As a rejuvenation destination.
“There's no other place in New York City. I'm honestly aware that even the world I know they have all of these latest treatments,” Kuo said.
He plans to roll out a $250,000 annual membership covering “the most advanced testing and treatments available.” The two “affordable” tiers start at around $10,000 a year. Currently the service is a la carte.
“You can spend anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. Everyone has a price,” Kuo said. “My goal is to make this accessible to as many people as possible.”
Frequent flyer
The cozy, luxurious West Village space, featuring lush green walls of greenery, symbolizing growth and vitality, usually attracts two types of patients.
Some people have chronic illnesses – people who suffer from Lyme disease or years of mold exposure “failed [by] Traditional healthcare systems,” Kuo said.
And the other half are biohackers. Millennial celebrities And a middle-aged CEO trying to restart his body, Even piers around the world A few days or weeks of treatment.
Recent acolites contain multi-hyphenates La La Anthony45, “It'll End with Us” Filmmaker Justin Bardoni41, Coach Tesla (and Elon Musk's brothers) Kim Balmsk52, and soccer is great Troy Eyckman58.
“Some of these are extremely healthy 50 years olds, and there's nothing wrong with a 60-year-old,” Kuo said of the patients. “But they're very interested in what's out there, what's next?”
A new beginning
New patients will receive a thorough evaluation and share their health goals. consultation Start at $400.
“Most patients these days, they complain about anxiety issues, sleep, brain fog issues, energy issues, and traditional medicine doesn't have a great way to deal with it,” Kuo said. “So I came up with all these little protocols and peptide therapy and some helpful steps.”
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve any drugs to treat aging. The institution is not considering aging the disease, so doctors can still prescribe “out of labels.”
Kuo aims to optimize three key body function indicators: metabolism, hormones and inflammation.
His $999 comprehensive diagnostic package It includes a dexas scan that reveals body composition and bone density. The VO2 Max test highlights aerobic exercise and cardiovascular fitness. 3D posture alignment scan. A test to determine the number of calories burned at rest. Blood-sucking field for assessing biomarkers, hormone levels, inflammation and metabolic markers. Consult with.
“It's really good because you really get all the basic information you need to plan,” Kuo said.
Basic Diagnostic Packagewhich does not include blood work and costs $699. Patient insurance may cover some lab work, but other than that, not much.
“Pep” in step
At a basic level, Kuo is targeted at diet, sleep and exercise.
“Without these three basic pillars you really wouldn't go anywhere,” he said.
That's the level 2 treatment peptidesupplements and medications. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that affect cell function by binding to receptors on the membrane.
In anti-aging treatments, peptides stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, protect the skin from environmental stressors, and act as an antioxidant. It can be administered via injections, tablets, or topical creams.
Peptides can cost over $300 a month. Some patients take some of them.
“Peptides and hormones can do a lot,” Kuo said. “You can really optimise someone metabolically, hormonally, lower the levels of inflammation, lose weight, increase insulin resistance, improve the system. After all, it comes down to cell health.”
Retired hairdresser Craig Lindsley, a Quo patient for over a decade, said he was taking three peptides to keep his arthritis at bay. He estimates it will cost around $5,000 a year.
“I just feel strong and more sturdy,” Lindsley, 67, told the Post.
There's no fear
Level 3 is more advanced regenerative medicine, gene therapy, plasmapheresis (body's plasma removal, treatment, and return), and autonomic nervous system reset.
Kuo is known for these “Neuroreset” It is supposed to readjust your combat or flight response, boosting focus, memory, brain function, sleep, digestion and immunity. The 10-minute procedure is intended to alleviate anxiety, stress and PTSD.
Kuo injects local anesthetics in the neck into the nerves in the neck, temporarily blocking signals to the brain's fear center, and injects fluid around the vagus nerve to relieve pressure and promote relaxation.
“I've done thousands of these cases,” Kuo said of Neuro Reset. “I'm not bragging about it, but I see some heads of state in the Middle East and in the royal family. [who come to] New York for this type of treatment. ”
The Neuroset is $1,500. A “complete neuroreset” with ketamine therapy costs $2,000. This is for some people to do four neurosets a year.
In fact, Kuo tends to track progress by repeating scans and blood tests every quarter.
Luke Moron, 37, said he visits extended health once a month.
He initially tried to avoid surgery on the disc for a herniated neck. And it relaxed from $20,000 to $30,000 with peptides, exosomes (small packets of RNA), and platelet-rich plasma therapy (using my own blood to promote healing).
He has since “down the rabbit hole” by experimenting with other treatments.
“A balanced act makes many of it expensive pretty quickly,” Moron, who works for real estate private equity, told the post.
What's next?
In addition to launching membership packages, Kuo is interested in setting up online destinations for longevity drugs such as metformin and rapamycin.
Kuo, who? I'll work with JohnsonI've been taking rapamycin for nearly 10 years. For the power of anti-aging. He pointed out there is no “fitting all sizes” path to a long lifespan.
As a lead guinea pig in extended health, Kuo is constantly exploring new drugs and approaches – he will soon test hemofiltration treatments in the clinic – and brainstorming with fellow youth trackers.
He is in “very active group chats” with 200 longevity doctors across the United States.
“I want to separate the noise from the real thing and make it possible to provide it to my clients,” Kuo said.
