Dr. Benjamin H. Krasne, M.D.
A board-certified physician who brings a rigorous, pharmacology-driven lens to longevity medicine and weight management.
Standard physical labs are designed to catch acute illness. Longevity labs are designed to catch the biology of aging while it's still upstream of disease — when interventions still work.
Same lab partners as the standard full panel, but a markedly different selection of biomarkers and a longer clinician review.
The longevity panel includes everything in the full panel, plus:
Advanced cardiovascular markers. ApoB (atherogenic particle count), Lp(a) (genetic CV risk), LDL-P (particle number), hsCRP, fibrinogen, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), and homocysteine. Together these give a picture of cardiovascular trajectory that's substantially more useful than the standard LDL number.
Insulin and metabolic detail. Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, fructosamine (a 2-3 week glucose average), and adiponectin (a fat-cell hormone strongly linked to longevity). Catches dysfunction years before glucose alone shows it.
Comprehensive hormone panels. Total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone (women), DHEA-S, SHBG, cortisol (AM and PM if useful), full thyroid including reverse T3, IGF-1, prolactin. Hormones drive symptoms and they drive long-term healthspan.
Inflammation and immune markers. hsCRP, IL-6 where indicated, ferritin (which is also an inflammation marker), white blood cell differential, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio.
Biological age testing (optional add-on). Epigenetic methylation panels — TruDiagnostic TruAge, DunedinPACE — that estimate biological age and pace of aging from DNA methylation patterns in blood. Useful as a tracked biomarker that responds to interventions.
GlycanAge or aging-rate alternatives are available as add-ons for members specifically interested in tracking the speed of biological aging.
Required baseline and 90-day re-test for HealifyNow longevity members.
Cardiovascular risk family history. Cognitive trajectory worry. Energy decline. The panel covers it.
Methylation tests give you a number that responds to interventions over time.
You like understanding what every marker means. We support that with a 5–10 minute clinician review.
From your first message to your medication arriving at your door — clinician-guided, every step.
A care team member meets with you to understand your goals, medical history, and treatment preferences. The first visit is no-cost and no-commitment — we want you to be confident before moving forward.
Connect by secure video or phone with a U.S.-licensed physician or nurse practitioner who reviews your full picture — labs, prior treatments, current medications, and lifestyle — and decides what is clinically appropriate.
If your clinician determines treatment is right for you, they issue a prescription that goes to a licensed U.S. pharmacy. We coordinate discreet shipping, or you can fill it locally. Follow-up visits are built in.
Epigenetic age tests measure DNA methylation — chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the sequence but do change gene expression. Methylation patterns at specific sites across the genome change predictably with age, and the rate of change differs between individuals based on lifestyle, environment, and biology.
The first-generation tests (Horvath, Hannum) estimate chronological age from methylation. The current-generation tests (PhenoAge, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) are trained against health outcomes — they estimate biological age that predicts mortality and morbidity, not just chronological age. DunedinPACE specifically estimates the pace of aging — how fast you're aging biologically right now, which is the most actionable metric.
These tests have improved substantially in the last 3-5 years and are now stable enough that intervention-driven changes are measurable over 6-12 months. They're not magic — a single test result has noise and shouldn't be over-interpreted — but the trend over multiple tests on the same person is genuinely informative.
We offer biological age testing as an optional add-on rather than a centerpiece. The standard longevity panel measures the inputs you can act on; biological age testing measures the integrated output that those interventions move.
Your clinician will review every relevant detail with you. Here are the most important points to know up front.
10-12 hour fast for accurate metabolic markers. Water only.
TruDiagnostic and similar tests use their own kits — separate draw at the same Quest or LabCorp visit.
Single bio-age results have meaningful test-retest variability. The trend across 2-3 tests is what's informative.
Insurance does not cover longevity lab work. Cost is transparent up front.
All medications must be prescribed by a licensed provider based on medical necessity. Treatment is not suitable for everyone. Results may vary.
Order the panel online and choose any optional add-ons (biological age testing, GlycanAge, additional hormones). Within a few business days, you receive a lab requisition you can present at any Quest or LabCorp center.
Fast for 10-12 hours, then walk in for the draw. The draw takes 5-15 minutes. Standard markers post in 3-5 business days; epigenetic tests typically take 3-4 weeks.
Once all results are in, you book your clinician review — 5–10 minutes by phone or video. The clinician walks through every marker, explains the patterns, and builds your written protocol based on what the results show. If you're a longevity program member, the review and follow-up are included in your monthly fee.
Re-testing is recommended at 90 days for any markers actively being intervened on, and annually for the full panel.

"My DunedinPACE was 1.18 baseline (aging fast). After 12 months on a real protocol, retest came back at 0.94. Subjective feel matches the number — I haven't felt this clear in 15 years."
"ApoB came back at 142 — high genetic risk. Standard panel had never flagged it. We're now on bempedoic acid and the trajectory looks completely different."
"Three biological age tests over 18 months, all trending the right direction. The accountability of the number is what kept me consistent with the protocol."
HealifyNow makes it easy to move forward with confidence. Here are the answers to what people ask us most.
The full panel covers comprehensive health screening. The longevity panel adds advanced cardiovascular markers (LDL-P, Lp-PLA2), expanded metabolic detail (fructosamine, adiponectin), tighter inflammation tracking, and optional biological age testing — all selected for their relevance to long-term healthspan.
The current-generation tests (DunedinPACE, GrimAge) have improved substantially and are now stable enough to track intervention effects over 6-12 months. We recommend them as a tracked biomarker, not as a one-time vanity metric. Most useful when run 2-3 times over a year or two on the same person.
Full longevity panel annually. Specific markers being actively intervened on (HbA1c, ApoB, hsCRP, hormone levels on replacement) every 3-6 months. Biological age every 12 months at most.
Generally no. The basic markers (CBC, lipid panel) may be covered if your PCP orders them through your insurance, but most longevity-specific markers and the biological age tests are cash-pay.
No. A physical exam, blood pressure measurement, skin check, and basic preventive care still matter. The longevity panel complements your PCP relationship rather than replacing it.
Your clinician will explain what's significant, what needs immediate action, and what may need specialty referral. We coordinate with cardiologists, endocrinologists, and other specialists when results call for it.
Yes. Hormone levels on HRT or TRT are an important part of the panel — the goal is to verify the protocol is working at the right levels and adjust if not.
You'll receive a PDF report. Most PCPs are happy to see comprehensive labs. We can also send results directly to a designated physician if you'd like.
Book online and a licensed clinician orders the test for you, so no separate doctor's visit is needed. You then complete a quick blood draw at a Quest or LabCorp location near you.
The longevity lab test is from $199, one-time. Pricing is self-pay, so you don't need insurance, and your clinician review is included.
You complete a quick blood draw at a Quest or LabCorp location near you. Your order confirmation explains exactly what to do and when.
Your instructions tell you whether fasting or any other preparation is needed. Blood panels that include glucose and lipids usually require an 8 to 12 hour fast.
Timing depends on the test. You're notified as soon as results are ready, and a licensed clinician reviews them with you.
A licensed clinician reviews every result, explains what it means in plain language, and recommends next steps, including treatment if appropriate.
Yes. Your results are stored on a HIPAA-compliant platform and shared only with you and your care team.
Order the longevity panel. Get the data. Build a protocol that works. We make the whole process simple.
