Long Life Med in Las Vegas offers expert functional medicine services rooted in uncovering and treating the underlying causes of chronic health issues. A functional medicine practitioner takes a comprehensive approach, considering your unique genetics, lifestyle, and environment to create personalized treatment plans aimed at lasting wellness.
Personalized Functional Medicine with Direct Primary Care (DPC) in Las Vegas
Long Life Med operates as a Direct Primary Care clinic, providing membership-based healthcare that does not rely on insurance billing. Members receive more face-to-face time, direct access to providers via call or text, same-day or next-day appointments, and no long waiting times—benefits that greatly enhance patient experience compared to conventional primary care.
Functional medicine is integrated into this personalized care model, focusing on root causes of conditions such as autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, and gut health issues. Treatments begin with detailed assessments and include nutrition counseling, lifestyle changes, supplements, and integrative therapies before medications are prescribed.
Distinctive Functional Medicine Plans and Therapies
Long Life Med offers separate specialized programs alongside functional medicine, including:
- Red light therapy, hormone therapy, and weight-management plans with medications included.
- Hair restoration and regenerative treatments like stem cells and exosomes as distinct plans.
- Peptide therapies are included in the Functional Medicine Plan ($200/month) and the Executive Longevity Plan ($500/month), with medications/supplements billed separately.
- Gut health and allergy support are integrated into the Functional Medicine Plan with separate testing and medication billing (although each plan and billing cycle comes with labs and supplements allowances, and still uses wholesale pricing).
Membership benefits also include wholesale discounts on labs, imaging, medications, supplements, and medical supplies—translating to substantial out-of-pocket savings. HSA and FSA accounts can be used for memberships and related medical expenses.
Holistic Patient Partnership for Long-Term Wellness
Functional medicine at Long Life Med emphasizes a partnership between patient and provider, empowering you with education and ongoing support. Practitioners examine inflammation, immune function, hormonal balance, and detoxification pathways using both conventional medicine and natural therapies as appropriate.

Are medications included in functional medicine plans?
Some medications are included in specific plans like hormone or weight management; others, including supplements and gut-related treatments, may be billed separately. The Preferred (Functional Medicine) and Executive (Longevity Medicine) plans also come with credits or allowances towards supplements and tests, depending on your prepaid billing cycle.
What are the key benefits of membership?
Direct access to providers by call or text, same/next-day appointments, no co-pays or deductibles, potential savings using HSA/FSA funds, and wholesale pricing on labs, imaging, and medications. Urgent care is also included, including wound repair and antibiotics if needed. Then, if you get hospitalized, you are entitled to the Hospital Patient Advocate service, and your provider will visit you, help coordinate care, coach and answer most of your questions, and help make sure that you are getting the care you need and nothing more or less.
