Brenner Longevity Model – Executive Gold DPC Summary Core Thesis: Longevity is not the avoidance of death, but preservation of repair capacity, physiologic reserve, function, identity, and autonomy until late life, with compression of morbidity and deliberate preparedness.
1. Biochemical Foundations (Upstream Control) • Insulin resistance (HOMA IR): earliest accelerator of vascular disease, cancer risk, cognitive decline, and frailty. • Glycation & cross linking: sugars bind amino acids → AGEs → stiff vessels, joints, lenses, enzymes. • Mitochondria & NAD : declining NAD impairs ATP, DNA repair enzymes, and sirtuins. • DNA damage & senescence: SASP drives inflammaging. • mTOR > autophagy: damaged proteins accumulate.
2. Evidence Anchored Interventions • Omega 3 (EPA/DHA). • Metformin (selected adults). • Vitamin D if deficient. • Senolytics: emerging. • Avoid: excess refined carbs, tobacco, chronic over nutrition, unnecessary meds.
3. Function & Organ Systems • MSK: grip, gait, chair rise, floor to stand; fix joints early. • Vision: night driving, contrast, cataracts, glaucoma. • Hearing: speech in noise difficulty. • Dental: periodontal disease, bite strength. • Skin: routine derm surveillance.
4. Lifestyle as Biology • Exercise: resistance + aerobic. • Sleep: identify & treat OSA. • Social connection: medical necessity.
5. Standard Prevention • Vaccinations. • Colonoscopy & cancer screening. • BP, lipids, metabolic review.
6. Preparedness (Because Success Shortens Dying) • Wills, trusts, POA, healthcare proxy. • Financial & digital access (incl. international). • Cultural & burial preferences. Goal: Shift patients into the functional longevity cohort with dignity, autonomy, and minimal suffering.

Longevity & Performance Medicine
Live longer. Live stronger. Live intentionally.
At Andover Internal Medicine, longevity is not simply avoiding disease — it is a structured plan to optimize metabolism, preserve mobility, protect the brain, and build the physical and hormonal resilience required for a high-quality life over decades.
This is a medical program designed for adults who want more than “annual labs.”
This is proactive medicine.

What This Program Includes
1. Metabolic Optimization
Weight loss strategy (nutrition, GLP-1 options, metabolic resistance reversal)
Visceral fat reduction
Insulin sensitivity improvement
Muscle-preserving weight loss for adults over 40
Lipid optimization
ApoB and advanced cholesterol profiling
2. Longevity Diagnostics
A deeper look at the systems that determine long-term health:
Comprehensive metabolic panel
Full endocrine panel (thyroid, adrenal, testosterone/estradiol when indicated)
Cardiovascular risk panel
High-sensitivity CRP
Ferritin, B12, folate
Omega-3 index (optional)
Sleep evaluation
