Longevity and Diagnostics
Longevity Medicine: Adding Life to Years
Longevity medicine is not about chasing youth. It’s about protecting how well you live as you age — physically, cognitively, metabolically, and emotionally. At Nova, longevity care goes beyond dashboards, supplements, and isolated lab markers. We combine advanced diagnostics with physician-led, whole-person care designed to improve resilience, prevent disease, and support long-term vitality. The goal is not simply to live longer. The goal is to stay strong, sharp, independent, and fully yourself for as many years as possible.
What “Longevity Medicine” Actually Means
Longevity medicine is not about “anti-aging.” It is the clinical practice of extending healthspan — the years of life lived with physical strength, cognitive clarity, metabolic health, hormonal balance, and emotional well-being.
Rather than waiting for disease to appear, longevity medicine focuses on proactively improving the systems most closely tied to how we age, including cardiovascular health, brain function, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, muscle mass, hormone optimization, cancer prevention, and nervous system resilience. The goal is not simply to add years to life, but to preserve the energy, independence, and quality of life that make those years meaningful.
The Nova Approach to Longevity Medicine
Every longevity plan at Nova begins with a comprehensive understanding of your physiology, lifestyle, risk factors, and long-term goals. Using advanced diagnostics, metabolic evaluation, body composition analysis, and detailed lab testing, we build personalized plans designed to support healthy aging from the inside out.
- Muscle-First LongevityStrength, lean muscle mass, and metabolic resilience are foundational to long-term health and independence.
- Inflammation & Metabolic HealthChronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are evaluated and addressed proactively.
- Hormonal & Cognitive OptimizationHormones, sleep, cognition, nervous system health, and energy are all considered part of longevity care.
- Whole-Person PreventionNutrition, recovery, cardiovascular health, lifestyle, and preventive medicine are integrated into one personalized strategy.
At Nova, longevity medicine is never reduced to supplements or data points alone. Every recommendation is built around sustainable, physician-guided care.
Your Physicians
Two Physicians, One Plan
Dr. Knight, an internist and integrative medicine physician, and Dr. Di Giorgio, a cardiologist, share one plan for each patient, so your heart, hormones, and metabolism are looked at together.
Why Nova Is Different From Other Longevity Clinics
The first generation of longevity medicine transformed how we think about prevention. Advanced diagnostics, continuous health data, and personalized dashboards have helped move medicine toward a more proactive future.
At Nova Wellness, we believe that’s only part of the story. Longevity isn’t built on biomarkers and technology alone. It also depends on nutrition, hormones, sleep, movement, stress resilience, nervous system health, emotional well-being, and meaningful relationships.
We combine the best of modern longevity science with the depth of integrative medicine to help you not only live longer—but feel better along the way. Whether you’re optimizing your future health or searching for answers to a complex chronic condition (add link), our goal is the same: to help you build a healthier, more resilient life.
At Nova:
- Physician-led, personalized care.
- Advanced diagnostics with thoughtful clinical interpretation and a personalized action plan.
- Integrative medicine, hormone optimization, nutrition, botanicals, peptides, and lifestyle medicine—all under one roof.
- Care for both proactive health optimization and complex chronic conditions.
- 90-minute initial visits because meaningful medicine takes time.
You’re more than a collection of lab values. You’re a whole person, and your care should reflect that.

Before Your Visit
Frequently Asked Questions
How is longevity medicine different from regular primary care?
Primary care is built to manage disease in seven-minute visits. Longevity medicine is built to prevent disease, optimize function, and treat the slow-accumulating dysfunctions primary care usually doesn’t have time to address. Different mission, different toolkit, different time.
Is this just “anti-aging”?
No. Anti-aging is a marketing category. Longevity medicine is a clinical discipline focused on extending healthspan, meaning your years of cognitive, physical, and emotional vitality. We don’t sell youth. We measure function and improve it.
Do I need to be sick to come here?
No. Many of our patients are in good health and want to stay that way, building the strength, metabolic health, and cardiovascular resilience that will pay off in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. We also see patients with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, or unexplained symptoms who are looking for a deeper workup than they’ve been able to get elsewhere. Both are welcome.
What does longevity medicine cost?
Nova is a membership-based, direct-pay practice. Our concierge will walk you through pricing before you book. Cost depends on what kind of workup is appropriate for you, but the underlying model is the same: physician-led, 90-minute visits, real follow-up, and the time the insurance system doesn’t pay for.
How is Nova Wellness different from other longevity programs and advanced diagnostic centers?
Advanced testing is an important part of modern longevity medicine, but testing alone doesn’t improve health. At Nova Wellness, we combine advanced diagnostics with physician-led integrative care, helping you understand your results, connect them to your symptoms and health goals, and develop a personalized plan that evolves over time. Our focus isn’t simply identifying risk—it’s partnering with you to reduce it and improve how you feel today while protecting your health for the future.

We started Nova because the appointments we were trained to give were too short for the questions our patients were asking. That is why a first visit here is 90 minutes, and why the two of us work from the same plan. We both see patients in Roseland, and we would be glad to meet you.
