KNOW your blindspots. CREATE health. ENJOY healthier living longer.
Dr. David Tsai
Being a family physician for over 25 years, I have done my best to help people with their health. I was using the best conventional approaches to diagnose and medications to treat, but inevitably my patients ended up taking more medications and were not getting healthier. I realized over time, that I was really managing their symptoms and disease, rather than helping them become healthy.
The current healthcare system of ten-minute visits is not conducive for helping individuals create health in their lives and despite my advanced medical training, I did not have the tools to help.
I have pursued additional training and started LongevityMD to be in a situation where I can best help people in their journey for being the healthiest version they can be.
The LongevityMD Approach
Systems Medicine
Systems Medicine (SM) looks at the human body
as part of an integrated whole, so that when a person experiences multiple symptoms or diseases. SM investigates the underlying cause(s) by considering complex interactions within the human body in light of the person’s genomics, lifestyle, and environment
Functional Medicine
Conventional medicine focuses on naming or diagnosing disease and treating it with the appropriate drug or surgery. By contrast, the goal of Functional Medicine is to uncover the root causes of illness and then provide you with the tools to create health and vitality.
Longevity Medicine
Aging is the greatest risk factor for most acute and chronic diseases. We can now both measure biological aging and treat the underyling hallmarks of aging, in order to not only extend lifespan, but more importantly healthspan.
Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine combines both conventional and unconventional therapies, focuses on the whole person, using evidence to understand how best to combine these therapiesI
