You’ve heard it on the news, from your friends, in the round robin of social media: wellness is all the rage. People don’t want to just be healthy anymore; they want to look it, they want to feel it, they want to live it.
With the huge leaps in recent longevity science, youthful skin, a trim body, and vigorous health are no longer only reserved for Hollywood celebrities.
There is a growing frustration with traditional healthcare. Patients are being reduced to symptoms, and at best, only some of those symptoms are being treated. As physicians with decades of experience in the medical field, we’ve seen firsthand the disconnect between the life of robust health people want for themselves and what the doctor’s office is able to offer.
We started The Longevity Lab to change that. At our wellness health center in Denver, we believe lasting wellness does not just mean a long life, but a better life. At The Longevity Lab, we create flexible, custom wellness plans for each of our clients that encompass your entire health. Your longevity matters. And we are ready to invest in you.

What’s in a wellness center?
Wellness health centers are becoming increasingly popular venues for people seeking full body health and longevity. Unlike the typical healthcare model that divides health into separate physical and mental categories, wellness centers blend physical, mental, and spiritual health by caring for the whole person.
The philosophy behind the model of the wellness health center is that every aspect of a person’s life contributes to their wellness. You may be looking for a solution to a specific problem, but the job of a wellness center is to explore all of the possible factors contributing to that problem.
In our modern world, science has transformed the medical field. There are medications, surgeries, and treatments for nearly every health concern. But while people are living longer, they are not living healthier lives.
Most modern health needs are a complex combination of personal and environmental factors. A wellness health center can help you understand all of the factors that impact your health.
What to Look for
The problem is, not all wellness health centers are created equal. Like anything that has its moment in the spotlight, there are a multitude of wellness health centers that do not live up to their lofty promises. These are the places that just want to get you in for the latest treatment. They don’t care much about your aspirations or your wellness goals.
We appreciate a good skeptic. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the wellness care you deserve. Take it from us. After many years of bringing our patients only the very best treatments in longevity science, we know a thing or two about quality wellness care in Denver. Here are the top 4 things you should look for in a wellness health center in Denver.
1. Expert Medical Professionals
Even though the model of a wellness health center is untraditional, this shouldn’t mean a center sacrifices training and expertise for a new age approach. This may seem like a no-brainer, but you should make sure your wellness health center retains a licensed doctor and other medical health professionals.
Due to the unconventional nature of wellness health centers, it can be easy for some of these places to get by in the public eye without actually doing the work of properly qualifying their staff. Do you know when your provider was certified? Do they have accreditations? Do they keep up with the latest wellness technologies?

You wouldn’t go to a physician’s office for a solution to chronic stomach pain if that person wasn’t a trained and practiced doctor. You shouldn’t compromise on a wellness professional either.
2. They Take the Time to Get to Know You
A wellness health center is a place that will take care of you—the full you. When you book an appointment at a wellness health center, it shouldn’t be a direct line to one of the center’s treatments. That’s all too fast, too soon. A proper wellness health center will take the time to get to know you first.
Expect to start with a consultation. Your wellness health center should have a comprehensive picture of your health and health goals before they suggest possible treatments. During your consultation, expect questions that ask about your personal goals, your lifestyle, and what you want to get out of your treatments.
One quick note: a wellness health center is not the place for a quick fix. You should stay away from places that promote themselves as an in-and-out, quick results, or one-time treatment facility. We believe true wellness comes when the client-physician relationship is a partnership with a commitment to comprehensive care.
Wellness is not a one-time solution, it’s a journey. At The Longevity Lab, our wellness health center in Denver, our concierge membership model gives our clients 24/7 access to our expert clinicians. This support lasts for as long as you need. We will work with our clients to adjust their treatment plans until they achieve their desired results.
3. A Supportive and Inspiring Environment
It may feel intimidating to begin your wellness journey. Your wellness health center should not be a place that contributes to these anxieties. You deserve a safe and comfortable wellness health center with staff who care about you and your goals. The goal of a wellness health center is not just to provide care for what you need now, but to create a long-term treatment plan that will guide you towards living the life you want.
An essential component of being healthy is feeling good. As guides on your path to healthy living, the staff at our wellness health center are specifically experienced and trained to be people you feel comfortable with and who are invested in you and your journey.
That investment of our time allows us to create a flexible, custom wellness plan for each of our clients that accounts not only for treatments, but also solutions to side effects and resources for lifestyle adjustments.
We want to understand your primary treatment goals, and we take this time to introduce you to our various treatments that may fit your needs. Our first priority is always to build trust and open communication as your partner in wellness.
4. They Teach You All They Know
We’ve already established that a wellness health center has (or should have) a strong team of licensed medical professionals. But your care professionals shouldn’t just know what they’re doing; they should also be sharing that knowledge with you.
The medical world is notorious for its ivory tower pretension and inaccessibility. Our goal is to change this detached relationship with health. It doesn’t do us any good to keep our patients in the dark about our treatment plans or methods.
Just as you want experts who give you world-class treatment, your expert health providers should invest equally in you. A wellness provider should be able to explain the science behind the methods they use and give you a comprehensive picture of what to expect from your treatment plan.
At The Longevity Lab, we love teaching our clients all we know. Ask us why we advocate for metabolic weight loss and not gastric surgery. Or maybe you’re wondering how to decide between pharmaceutical antidepressants and hormone therapy. We’ve got all the details for you. A wellness journey is not a passive endeavor. Treatments may be at the center of your wellness plan, but the process itself is one of learning.
At The Longevity Lab, you learn how your mind, body, and lifestyle work. You are here to discover how you can make adjustments so that these aspects work together to create a balanced and full life. And we’re here to guide you on the path to making that happen.
Preparing for Your Visit
We’ve Done the Research for You
A lot of people come to The Longevity Lab because they’ve heard about new treatments in the field of longevity science and they want the results they’ve been hearing about.
In this day and age, wellness has been commodified. No matter how niche your Instagram or TikTok algorithm, everyone is inundated by wellness messaging. There are millions of people online promoting all kinds of products and services for any aspect of “wellness” you might want to work on.
Wellness influencers don’t necessarily give incorrect information; many are genuine in their enthusiasm to share their stories and advice on what methods have helped them on their own personal wellness journey. They want you to have the same success. These inspiring stories are all well and good, but they are not your story.
Wellness is unique to each and every person. A plan that works for one person will rarely work the same for another. At The Longevity Lab, we’ve done our research, and we know what works and what doesn’t for each person’s unique goals, health history, and lifestyle. We know that wellness isn’t about finding a “quick-fix” remedy for something you lack. Wellness is about optimizing the full potential of the health assets you already have.
Define What You Want
Now it’s all about you. It’s time to define what you want to get out of your wellness journey. By pinpointing your personal wellness goals before your consultation, you will be able to clearly communicate these goals to your wellness health professional.
Here are some questions to think about:
- How would you like your body to feel and look?
- What parts of your wellness are you currently unhappy with?
- What has made it difficult to reach your wellness goals in the past?
- What kind of treatments are you interested in?
- What kind of treatments make you feel anxious or uncomfortable?
- How do you feel on a day-to-day basis? How does this impact your everyday life?
- What activities are difficult for you to access due to the current state of your health?
