[LIVE AND LEARN] Longevity clinics need formalized training, standards

The recently released “Longevity Clinics Survey 2025,” published by Longevity.Technology and sponsored by Everest Health, draws on responses from 82 clinics across multiple continents, ranging from solo practices to larger, integrated centers. It documents not only what is being done in these clinics today, but how, by whom and with what tools.

The report highlights a sector in flux. Although medical professionals are embracing tools such as advanced diagnostics, digital platforms and age-related biomarker tests, standards of practice vary widely, and formal training in longevity medicine remains inconsistent.

To address these challenges, stakeholders have launched initiatives such as the Roundtable of Longevity Clinics and the Biomarkers of Aging Consortium. These initiatives speak to a collective effort within the longevity community to standardize practices, enhance training and foster innovation.

 “As the field advances, qualified training and ongoing education are critical for providers to stay informed about emerging therapies, safety protocols, and scientific evidence for best practice,”  writes Danielle Ruiz, CEO and Chief Medical Officer of Everest Health, in the report’s foreword.

The data confirm the need, according to the survey: although 73% of clinics said they pursue continuing medical education  in healthy longevity, many respondents acknowledged the lack of formalized education pathways and recognized the need for internationally accredited training. One respondent noted: “There needs to be formalized training that’s internationally recognized. Already people with ‘interest’ are putting out expensive courses and touting unrealistic claims.”

Despite these limitations, 77% of clinics reported plans to expand operations – even as just 39% said they were currently profitable, pointing to a sector still in the early stages of maturity, according to the report.

The survey also reveals how deeply digital health tools are integrated into longevity care. Over 70% of clinics support wearable data integration, and more than half have developed proprietary client tracking systems. Yet only 40% have fully integrated their longevity protocols with electronic medical records – a finding that highlights both technical hurdles and philosophical boundaries between conventional and longevity-focused care models.

The full report features additional insights into the full landscape of longevity clinics.
