OUR PHILOSOPHY
Medicine Designed for the Future.
Longév was created to redefine the way healthcare is delivered. By leveraging advanced testing, wearable technology, artificial intelligence, and evidence-based medicine, we identify opportunities to optimize health before disease develops. Our goal is not simply to extend lifespan, but to preserve strength, vitality, cognition, and performance throughout every stage of life.
Our model is built on three pillars:
Longevity
Build a healthier future through advanced prevention and proactive healthcare.
Precision
Harness advanced diagnostics, wearable technology, and AI-driven insights to personalize every recommendation.
Performance
Preserve strength, mobility, cognition, and vitality through every decade of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to become a patient at Longév?
No referral is needed. Simply call us or book a free 15-minute discovery call and we’ll walk you through how to get started.
What is longevity medicine, and how is it different from my regular doctor?
Traditional medicine is designed to diagnose and treat disease after it occurs. Longevity medicine is proactive — we use advanced testing and personalized protocols to identify and address risk before disease develops. The goal isn’t just a longer life, but a healthier, higher-functioning one at every age.
Who is an ideal patient at Longév?
Longév is designed for motivated, health-invested adults who want more than just an annual physical — people who want to understand their biology, take proactive steps, and work with physicians who have the time and tools to actually optimize their health.
Where is Longév located, and do you offer telehealth?
Longév is located in La Jolla, California. We offer certain services through telehealth, please call our clinic for more information.
How do I book a first appointment?
The easiest way to get started is to book a free 15-minute discovery call — no commitment, no pressure. From there, if it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule your initial consultation.
How does the membership model work?
Longév is a membership-based practice. Each tier includes a defined scope of physician visits, diagnostic services, and ongoing support. There’s no insurance billing — this model gives us the freedom to spend real time with you.
Are there standalone options if I'm not ready for a membership?
Yes. We offer six standalone packages — including the Longevity Reset, Hormone Reset, Metabolic Reset, Athletic Performance Longevity Program, and Executive Longevity Assessment. Each comes with a membership credit if you join within 30 days of completing the program.
Does Longév accept insurance?
Dr. Salem’s functional and longevity medicine services are cash-pay only — no insurance billing. Dr. Kalasho’s interventional spine services accept most insurances. All regenerative orthopedic, aesthetic, and IV therapy services are cash-based.
What kind of testing does Longév use?
We go well beyond standard annual bloodwork. Depending on your goals, testing may include advanced cardiovascular and metabolic biomarker panels, hormonal profiles, inflammatory markers, micronutrient analysis, genetic testing, body composition scanning, VO2 Max testing, grip strength measurement, and more. Your physician will recommend the appropriate workup after your initial consultation.
What is VO2 Max testing and why does it matter?
VO2 Max measures your cardiorespiratory fitness — specifically, your body’s maximum capacity to use oxygen during exercise. It is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and all-cause mortality. We test it as part of our comprehensive longevity assessment and use it to guide your personalized exercise and metabolic protocols.
What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine uses biologic therapies — derived from your own body — to promote tissue healing and structural recovery rather than masking symptoms. At Longév, Dr. Kalasho offers PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate), and MFAT (micro-fragmented adipose tissue) therapy, applied to joints, tendons, and spinal structures.
Do you integrate with wearable devices?
Yes. Longév integrates wearable device data — such as data from Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Whoop — into patient monitoring through our patient portal. Please ask our team for the most current information on supported devices and how to connect them.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
It’s helpful to bring: a list of current medications and supplements (with dosages), any recent bloodwork or doctor’s notes from the past 1–2 years, records of relevant imaging if applicable, a brief health history, and — most importantly — a clear sense of your health goals. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything. We can work with whatever you bring.
