Live your best
Health care typically focuses on disease management, not a healthy lifespan. At Big Tree, we believe health is more than disease prevention. Actively managing your health in middle age is critical for maintaining your ability to be healthy and active in your later years. When you are ready to take control of your future health, we are ready to help. All Big Tree providers are trained in longevity medicine and actively help patients delve deep into understanding their current metabolic health and creating plans to optimize the future. Whether you are ready to make a major lifestyle change or are interested in medications that can optimize your health, your Big Tree provider is ready to chat.
01
Biomarkers
Our custom set of biomarkers examines all aspects of your health with an emphasis on long term prevention of cardiovascular events and improving health span. This program is similar to Function Health's product but at half the cost.
02
Motivation for change
Meet with your Big Tree team to discuss your biomarkers and their implications. We find that nothing motivates like understanding how your body is reacting to your diet and exercise routine. While medications can occasionally be helpful in a quest for a long, healthy life, lifestyle change is critical. We are happy to discuss the potential role of GLP-1 drugs, metformin, growth hormone drugs, NAD+ and others in longevity.
03
Change your life
Lifestyle change is fueled by motivation. Biomarkers provide an edge, helping you focus on particular areas where you need help. Whether your fasting insulin is running high, putting you at risk for diabetes, or your DHA/ARA ratio is off due to a lifetime of fast foods, you will know exactly which areas are critical for your individual longevity.
04
Watch your numbers change
We typically redraw labs every 6-12 months to help you quantify your progress. There is nothing like improving numbers to reinforce that the lifestyle changes you are making are adding decades to your healthy life.
NAD+
NAD+ is the central cofactor for energy production in nearly every cell of your body. NAD+ levels drop as we age, contributing to lower energy levels. Restore your NAD+ levels with subcutaneous injections twice a week. Typical dose is 25-50 mg twice a week.

Sermorelin
As children, our bodies use growth hormone to grow taller. But growth hormone does more than just promote growth. Growth hormone is intricately involved in cellular metabolism and lower levels tend to increase body fat and make skeletal muscles atrophy. Growth hormone levels decline as we age, a leading cause of the muscle mass decline of middle age. Sermorelin causes the release of growth hormone leading to an increase in muscle mass and a decrease in body fat. Sermorelin is typically injected 5 nights a week. Typical doses are 0.2-0.4mg.
