David Drew Executive Longevity
Our patients live 6 years longer
Business leaders live, on average, two to four fewer productive years than their counterparts. But they don’t have to. David Drew’s Executive Longevity medical surveillance and improvement program targets those productive years for protection. The program uses high-tech medical exploration to identify and correct serious problems and risks that rob us of productive years.
In fact, each of us has an average lifespan that is based upon our current age. By definition, half of us won’t reach it, leaving on the table productive years that we expected to live. For example, the average 50 year-old makes it to 82. But half die sooner, unnecessarily losing an average of more than 6 years of productive life.
After 25 years and over 20,000 patient-years of experience, we know exactly how well David Drew’s program works. It prevents almost every death before age 70, and ⅔ of those before age 82. Compared to those receiving regular medical care, our participants who start before age 50 gain, on average, more than 6 additional productive years of life. Those starting at age 65 gain almost five years. Even an age 75 start yields three extra productive years.
Our program protects productive years much more effectively than alternatives, including conventional medical care and standard executive physicals. It preserves more than three times as many years as personal lifestyle optimization alone.
How the program works
We’re with you for the whole year. Unlike traditional executive health programs, David Drew Executive Longevity is not a one-and-done encounter. It identifies issues, creates solutions, and then works with you throughout the year to implement and optimize them.
Our medical surveillance and improvement program protects your productive years and extends life by finding problems and risks early, and then correcting them. Among adults in the US, about 90% of early, productive years are lost to heart disease, cancer and stroke. At David Drew Executive Longevity your productive years are our prime focus, and those diseases are major targets.
Each year begins with a half-day, in-clinic session of intensive exploration of your body with state-of-the-art tools such as imaging, genetics, cancer markers, heart function tests, biochemistry, and cognition appraisal. Your protocol is designed specifically for you and aims to identify major problems and risks early, while they are curable.
Then, you and your Executive Longevity specialist physician develop a health improvement plan to be implemented and optimized during the coming year. Your progress is monitored conveniently via periodic teleconference and follow-up laboratory tests that are performed close to your work or home.
There are no gimmicks or placebos, no stem cells, no supplements, no onerous diets or extreme exercise regimens. We use only techniques proven to extend or enhance life.
