“Normal for your age” describes a population, not a physiology. Longevity medicine asks a different question: not whether you are sick today, but how well the systems that keep you strong are actually working.

Longevity & Regenerative Medicine For Women & Men
Most medicine waits for something to break. Longevity medicine supports the systems that age first.
Aging is not a single event — it is a slow drift in the systems that keep you resilient: mitochondria, hormones, skin, tissue repair. Regenerative longevity care reads those systems while they are still “in range,” and supports them before decline becomes diagnosis.
In Plain Terms
What Is Regenerative Longevity Medicine?
Regenerative longevity medicine is physician-led care aimed at how well you age — your healthspan — not only how long you live. Rather than waiting for a disease to declare itself, it measures the systems that age first, such as mitochondrial function, hormones, body composition and cellular repair, and supports them while there is still room to act. Its tools include regenerative peptide and bioregulator protocols, hormone and skin therapy, hair restoration and advanced diagnostics — each chosen for your biology, never off a template. The aim is not to look untouched by time; it is to keep the machinery of a strong, capable body working for longer.
Healthspan Vs. Lifespan
The Distance Between “In Range” And Aging By Intention
Most care is built to catch disease once it arrives — it waits for a number to fall out of range, then treats the break. But the systems that decide how you age (how your mitochondria make energy, how quickly tissue repairs, how well hormones hold their signal) decline for years while every lab still reads “normal.” That silent decline is the distance. Optimization is the work of closing it before a result turns abnormal.
Waiting For The Break
- Care begins only once a lab is already abnormal
- Aging treated as inevitable decline to ride out
- Mitochondrial and cellular-repair function never assessed
- “Normal for your age” accepted as the goal
- Skin and hair changes dismissed as purely cosmetic
Supporting The Systems That Age First
- Function measured while results are still in range
- Mitochondria, hormones and body composition read as one system
- The shift caught before decline becomes diagnosis
- Optimization toward how you should function, not the average
- Skin and hair read as signals of metabolic and hormonal health
Healthspan, Not Just Lifespan
- Lifespan is how long you live; healthspan is how long you live well — strong, clear, mobile and independent. Longevity medicine works to extend the second, so the added years are ones worth having.
Mitochondrial Function
- Mitochondria turn food and oxygen into usable energy. As they falter, fatigue, slower recovery and cellular wear follow. Protecting mitochondrial function is central to how the body resists aging.
Cellular Repair & Renewal
- Tissue is constantly broken down and rebuilt. When repair slows and worn-out (senescent) cells accumulate, they drive inflammation and aging. Supporting repair keeps the balance tilted toward renewal.
Biological Vs. Chronological Age
- Two people the same age can be years apart biologically. Advanced diagnostics — from comprehensive lab work to biological-age and genomic testing — measure how your body is actually aging, the number worth tracking.
Service · Regenerative & Physician-Led
Regenerative Peptide Therapy
Peptides and bioregulators are short chains of amino acids that act as precise signals — telling the body to repair tissue, steady metabolism, support recovery or protect the mitochondria that power every cell. Used thoughtfully and only inside physician-led care, they are among the more targeted tools longevity medicine has for supporting the systems that age first.
Peptide and bioregulator therapy is deeply individual — the right protocol depends on your biology, your labs and your goals, not a menu. A few well-studied options are shown below; your specific plan is chosen and explained one-to-one in your visit.
Tesamorelin
SS-31 (elamipretide)
NAD+
Beyond these, care draws on a broader range of regenerative peptide and bioregulator protocols, matched to you and explained in your visit.
What Peptides & Bioregulators Do
Peptides are the body’s own signaling language. The right one can prompt tissue repair, support metabolic and hormonal balance, aid recovery, or protect the energy machinery inside cells. Because they are targeted signals rather than blunt drugs, they are chosen carefully and matched to what your physiology actually needs.
SS-31 (Elamipretide): Mitochondrial Support
SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that stabilizes cardiolipin — a molecule the cell’s energy machinery depends on. Elamipretide received FDA approval in 2025, and its mechanism is among the most studied in mitochondrial medicine. Any use is individualized and physician-directed.
Recovery, Body Composition & Cognition
Regenerative protocols are used to support recovery, lean body composition, cognitive clarity and cellular repair. Tesamorelin is one physician-prescribed option studied for its effect on visceral fat, and NAD+ supports the cellular energy pathways that decline with age. What fits you is decided from your data, not a template.
Always Inside Physician-Led Care
Peptides are prescribed only after evaluation, only when clinically appropriate, and always under a physician’s direction — sourced through licensed, LegitScript-certified compounding pharmacies. Every plan is personalized to your biology rather than applied from a template.
Service · Skin As A Hormonal Organ
Anti-Aging Skin Therapy & BHRT
Skin is not just a surface — it is the body’s largest organ, and it is deeply hormonal. Estradiol, testosterone, thyroid and metabolic health govern its collagen, thickness, hydration and capacity to repair. Treating skin only from the outside misses the signal underneath, which is why Eterna pairs compounded topical solutions with bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) when it fits your physiology.
Skin Is A Hormonal & Metabolic Organ
The changes people read as “just aging skin” — thinning, dryness, loss of firmness — often track with hormonal and metabolic shifts. Around perimenopause and beyond, falling estradiol alone accounts for a meaningful share of collagen loss. Reading skin as an organ, not a cosmetic layer, points to the real source.
Compounded, Not Off-The-Shelf
Compounded topical solutions are formulated for your skin and your goals rather than pulled from a shelf. Because they are prepared through licensed compounding pharmacies and directed by a physician, ingredients and strengths are matched to what your skin actually needs, and settled in your visit.
BHRT And The Skin
When hormones are behind it, supporting them changes what the skin has to work with. Bioidentical hormone therapy, when clinically appropriate, addresses the internal signal while topical care addresses the surface — two halves of the same picture rather than a cream working against a deficit it cannot see.
Read Alongside Your Labs
Skin therapy is not treated in isolation. It is planned alongside the right lab work — hormones, thyroid, inflammatory and nutritional markers, and ideally the comprehensive 70+ biomarker panel for a fuller picture — so the plan reflects the whole system. That is how a skin concern becomes a window into metabolic and hormonal health, for women and men alike.
Service · Hair Health, Read Systemically
Hair Restoration Therapy
Hair thinning is rarely just about hair. It is often the visible edge of something systemic — hormones, thyroid, iron and nutrient status, stress and metabolism. Compounded hair therapy at Eterna combines oral and topical solutions, supported where appropriate by regenerative peptides, and begins by finding the metabolic and hormonal reason the follicle is struggling.
Thinning Starts Somewhere Deeper
Follicles are metabolically demanding and hormonally sensitive, which makes them an early reporter of trouble elsewhere. Thyroid slowdown, iron or nutrient shortfalls, hormonal shifts and chronic stress all show up as thinning. Naming what is behind it — rather than covering the symptom — is where lasting care starts.
Compounded Oral & Topical Solutions
Hair therapy is built from oral and topical compounded solutions, formulated for your physiology and prepared through licensed compounding pharmacies. Combining routes lets a plan work on the follicle from more than one direction. Specific formulations and strengths are tailored to you in your visit.
Peptide-Supported Where Appropriate
When it fits the plan, regenerative peptide and bioregulator protocols may support the tissue environment the follicle depends on. As with all peptide care, this is individualized, physician-directed and used only when clinically appropriate — never a fixed protocol applied to everyone.
Measured, Then Monitored
Because thinning is usually systemic, hair care is planned from the right lab work — a targeted hair and hormone panel, or the comprehensive 70+ biomarker panel when a fuller picture is wanted — and followed with regular monitoring. Correcting an underlying deficit or imbalance is often what gives the follicle what it needs — and tracking over time is how the plan is adjusted to your response.
Seeing What Standard Care Doesn’t
Advanced Diagnostics
You cannot optimize what you never measure. Longevity medicine looks earlier and deeper than an annual physical — imaging and body-composition tools that reveal risk and reserve years before symptoms, so decisions are made on data rather than guesswork. Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Renée can incorporate the following.
Full-Body MRI
- A radiation-free, whole-body screen that surveys organs and soft tissue for early changes — a broad look at the body with no ionizing radiation, used as one input among many.
Cleerly Coronary CTA
- AI-assisted analysis of a coronary CT scan that characterizes and quantifies arterial plaque — reading heart risk as anatomy you can see, not a cholesterol number alone.
DEXA
- The reference standard for body composition and bone density — distinguishing fat, lean mass and visceral fat, and flagging bone loss early enough to act on.
Longitudinal Biomarker Tracking
- Advanced diagnostics, repeated over time, turn single readings into a trend — how your biology is actually aging, measured against your own baseline rather than a population average.
How Eterna Approaches It
Caught In The Years Before A Diagnosis
Longevity and regenerative care at Eterna is one connected system — peptide therapy, skin and hair care, hormones and advanced diagnostics working from the same physiology, measured the same way and followed the same way. It starts upstream, with data.
Advanced Diagnostics
- Comprehensive lab work, biological-age and genomic testing, and advanced imaging where appropriate — the mix chosen for you and read together as one picture of how you are aging, not one number at a time.
Physician-Led, Start To Finish
- A board-certified physician interprets your results and any imaging, decides whether and when peptide, hormone, skin or hair therapy belongs in the plan, and stays the one directing your care — women and men alike.
Personalized To Your Biology
- Regenerative peptide and bioregulator protocols, BHRT, skin and hair therapy are combined and dosed for your physiology and goals — each only when clinically appropriate, never off a template.
Monthly Monitoring
- Biomarkers, body composition and symptoms are reviewed regularly, so every therapy is checked against your data and refined over time — toward function you can hold, not a one-time result.
Screening begins with the Ground Zero Screening ($247). Ongoing care is offered through concierge membership; a standalone Physician Lab Report is available. Advanced imaging is arranged separately when clinically appropriate.

Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What is regenerative longevity medicine, and how is it different from anti-aging?
Anti-aging is often about appearance. Regenerative longevity medicine is about function — supporting the systems that determine how well you age, such as mitochondria, hormones, body composition and cellular repair. It measures those systems while results are still in range and works to keep them strong, so the goal is a resilient body over time, not a cosmetic result in the mirror.
Which peptides do you use — can you tell me the names?
A few well-studied options that Dr. Renée commonly uses include Tesamorelin, SS-31 (elamipretide) and NAD+. Beyond those, your care draws on a broader range of regenerative peptide and bioregulator protocols, chosen and explained one-to-one in your visit — because the right protocol depends on your biology, your labs and your goals, not a menu. Specific plans and dosing are set individually with your physician.
Is SS-31 (elamipretide) FDA-approved?
Yes. SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that received FDA approval in 2025. Its mechanism — stabilizing cardiolipin to protect the cell’s energy machinery — is among the most studied in mitochondrial medicine. As with any therapy at Eterna, its use would be individualized, physician-directed and considered only when clinically appropriate.
How is anti-aging skin therapy connected to hormones?
Skin is the body’s largest organ and it is deeply hormonal — estradiol, testosterone, thyroid and metabolic health govern its collagen, thickness and repair. Treating skin only from the outside misses the signal underneath. Eterna pairs compounded topical solutions with bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) when it fits your physiology, so the internal source and the surface are addressed together.
What actually causes hair thinning, and how is it treated?
Thinning is usually systemic — hormones, thyroid, iron and nutrient status, stress and metabolism all show up in the hair before anywhere obvious. Care begins by finding what is behind it, then uses compounded oral and topical solutions, supported where appropriate by regenerative peptides. It is planned from the right lab work — a targeted hair and hormone panel, or the comprehensive 70+ biomarker panel when you want the fuller picture — and followed with monitoring, for women and men alike.
What advanced diagnostics do you offer?
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Renée can incorporate full-body MRI through Prenuvo (a radiation-free, whole-body screen), Cleerly coronary CTA (AI-assisted analysis of coronary plaque from a CT scan), VO2 max testing (a direct measure of cardiorespiratory fitness, among the strongest predictors of longevity) and DEXA (the reference standard for body composition and bone density) — alongside comprehensive lab work tracked over time. Together they show how your body is aging earlier than symptoms would.
Is this care for men too, or only women?
Both. Mitochondrial decline, hormonal shifts, changes in body composition, skin and hair affect women and men, and the diagnostics and physician-led approach are the same for each. Care is tailored to your physiology and goals regardless of sex.
