Our mission is to transform the current healthcare system into one that is both proactive and data-driven, enabling us to boost longevity and catch and treat illnesses earlier than ever before.
Our Credo
We believe that humanity is in the midst of a healthspan revolution. Converging exponential technologies such as artificial intelligence, genomics, CRISPR, gene therapy, cellular medicine and sensors are allowing us to understand why we age and perhaps how to slow, stop and even reverse aging. We concur with experts who predict that breakthroughs before the end of this decade will enable us to add decades onto the human health span. As such, our mission at Fountain Life is to maximize the health and vitality of our members using advanced diagnostics to catch disease at the earliest signs, enabling members to stay healthy enough to intercept the longevity breakthroughs racing towards us. We seek to extend member healthspan by using a foundation of “functional medicine based protocols” plus an annual 150 Gb “Upload” of imaging, genetic and blood-related diagnostics. Our goal is to reliably predict future diseases and to detect any such disease at the earliest moment possible, thereby stopping and ultimately reversing its progression, returning our members to peak performance.
Fountain Life and its network of physicians and scientists are constantly scanning the world searching for low-risk, high-reward therapeutic treatments. Once vetted, those treatments with the greatest promise are made available to all Members through our Centers. Fountain Life requires that treatments delivered to its Members be either FDA approved or delivered under an approved investigational protocol. Fountain Life believes that there is no substitution for a brilliant and thoughtful medical team delivering healthcare services. As such, we have developed an innovative care model, utilizing a vertically integrated, 6-person utilizing an integration Health Care Team. Each Fountain Life Member is supported by a Longevity Physician, Nurse, Health Coach, Nutritionist, and Care Coordinator. These teams are trained to the highest standards at Fountain University in accordance with A4M, the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and other cutting-EDGE partnerships. Additionally, Fountain Life is making use of the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies in order to enable a smooth and seamless Member experience, while at the same time analyzing vast data-sets to glean personalized insights delivering lifesaving outcomes.
