Purpose: Evaluate cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and metabolic efficiency.
Benefits: Sets a baseline for training, identifies individual exercise intensities and tracks improvements over time.

Click for more information on VO2max

Purpose: Identify movement patterns, potential muscle imbalances, and areas for injury prevention.
Benefits: Personalized exercise programs to enhance performance, stability, and flexibility.

Purpose: Assess current eating habits, nutrient intake, and caloric balance.
Benefits: Individualized nutrition plans based on goals (weight management, performance, or disease prevention).

Purpose: Detect early signs of cardiovascular disease by measuring calcified plaque in coronary arteries.
How It Works: Non-invasive imaging that’s quick and painless.
Benefits: Early detection of heart disease risks, guiding prevention strategies.

Purpose: Assess markers like lipids, inflammation, hormones, and blood glucose levels to catch metabolic changes early.
Benefits: Identifies hidden risks, monitors overall health, and personalizes dietary and supplement recommendations.

Purpose: Provide a comprehensive review of all assessment data.
Benefits: Develop a personalized roadmap for long-term health and performance.

The Longevity Blueprint is a multidisciplinary program involving Sports Medicine, Radiology and lab work. The Core program, including fitness testing, nutrition and the physician consultation will be performed through UC Davis Health Sports Medicine.  The laboratory and imaging are an integral part of the assessment, but are billed separately.  

Longevity Blueprint Core Program — $950

The $950 program fee includes the DXA, VO₂max, functional movement and strength assessment, registered dietitian consultation, and physician consultation.

CAC + Lung Screening — $150 self-pay

Insurance authorization is requested first. If coverage is denied, the combined CAC and lung screening is available for approximately $150 self-pay.

Targeted Bloodwork — approximately $350

Bloodwork is billed separately and typically costs approximately $350, depending on the laboratory used and insurance coverage. Testing through UC Davis Health or Quest Diagnostics is preferred, although equivalent testing through another health system or physician may be accepted.

Traditional healthcare often takes a reactive approach—treating diseases only after symptoms appear. However, proactive healthcare focuses on early intervention, risk reduction, and prevention, helping you stay ahead of potential health issues. By regularly assessing key health markers such as cardiovascular fitness, metabolic function, and musculoskeletal strength, you can identify concerns before they become chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or osteoporosis. This allows for targeted lifestyle adjustments—including nutrition, exercise, and stress management—to prevent or significantly mitigate long-term health risks.

Aging does not have to mean loss of mobility, strength, or independence. Maintaining functional capacity—through muscle mass retention, joint mobility, balance training, and cardiovascular fitness—reduces the likelihood of frailty, falls, and injury-related hospitalizations. Strength and movement assessments help identify weaknesses and asymmetries, allowing for early correction before they lead to limitations. By prioritizing movement efficiency and strength, you ensure that everyday activities—like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or engaging in recreational sports—remain effortless well into later years.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or a recreational enthusiast, understanding your physiological strengths and weaknesses allows for targeted improvements in endurance, power, and recovery. VO2max testing, metabolic efficiency analysis, and movement screening help optimize training load, energy utilization, and injury prevention strategies. By refining technique and biomechanics, you can reduce stress on joints and muscles, improving efficiency and lowering the risk of overuse injuries or burnout. With data-driven insights, you can train smarter, recover faster, and perform at your peak for longer.

Investing in preventative care and lifestyle optimization today significantly reduces the financial burden of managing chronic conditions later in life. Regular health assessments and early interventions can lower the risk of developing expensive-to-treat conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis. By maintaining strong metabolic health, a resilient cardiovascular system, and optimal body composition, you reduce the likelihood of costly medications, surgeries, and hospital stays—ultimately leading to long-term healthcare savings and a higher quality of life.

Physical health and cognitive function are deeply interconnected. Regular exercise, proper nutrition, and optimized metabolic function have been shown to enhance memory, focus, and mental clarity, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. Aerobic fitness—measured by VO2max—directly correlates with brain oxygenation and cognitive resilience, while proper nutrition and strength training help regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and combat depression. By prioritizing both body and mind, you cultivate greater life satisfaction, emotional stability, and long-term mental sharpness.
