Meet Dr. Poonam Desai
A double board-certified physician, fellowship-trained in Precision Medicine, Menopause Society Certified, and a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. She has taken courses through the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) and A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine). With a focus on hormone health, cancer prevention, gut optimization, inflammation, and longevity medicine, she offers one of the most comprehensive clinical backgrounds in the field.
Having worked at two of the largest longevity clinics in the country before founding her own, Dr. Desai brings unmatched insight into what truly moves the needle in health optimization. Her years as an ER doctor and assistant professer at NewYork Presbyterian exposed her to the devastating impact of preventable disease — and sparked her shift toward precision medicine and proactive, personalized care.
Dr. Desai doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols. She listens closely to her patients and takes time to understand their history, symptoms, and goals. Many individuals don’t fit neatly into standard treatment boxes — and that’s where her expertise shines.
Her practice is built on the principles of Precision Medicine: using genetic, laboratory, and body composition data to create tailored medical and nutrition interventions. It’s not just about treating symptoms — it’s about identifying and addressing root causes through data-driven, real-time strategies that optimize long-term metabolic health and performance.
Dr. Desai works with individuals who refuse to settle for average care. Her goal is to empower patients to invest in their health and aging process through education, testing, and accountability.
Influenced by leaders like Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Dr. Marie Claire, she combines rigorous science with a lifestyle-based approach to longevity. She lives what she teaches — prioritizing her own health and aging with the same intention and discipline she brings to her patients.
There are very few physicians as extensively trained in both conventional and longevity medicine as Dr. Desai. If you're ready for highly personalized care from a doctor who merges deep clinical experience with the latest science, you're in the right place.
This is not a check-the-box visit. This is precision medicine for your future self.
