The Longevity Program Is Not a Single Visit. It Is the Plan for the Next 30 Years.

The Sano Longevity Program is a 12-month membership built around the four things that determine how long and how well you live: nutrition, movement, stress, and sleep. Every member gets the same foundation: a full first-visit workup, a 60 to 90 minute roadmap appointment with Dr. Sweeney, quarterly physician check-ins, annual labs, and unlimited body composition retesting throughout the year.

The program is structured this way because longevity medicine is not a single test result. It is a multi-quarter loop of measure, intervene, retest, and adjust. The first three months establish your baseline and the first interventions. The middle of the year shows whether the plan is moving the needle. The last quarter is where the body composition, VO2 max, and metabolic markers shift in measurable ways. Patients who follow the full year see results that compound. Patients who stop at three months see almost nothing.

“I take very complex sets of data and weave them together into an actionable and realistic plan that is going to change your life”
Dr. Meredith Sweeney, MD, FACS, FASMBS

The two tiers exist because not every member needs the same depth of implementation support. Gold is the full foundation: the assessment, the quarterly physician appointments, the labs, the body composition retesting, concierge access, and medication monitoring including testosterone therapy at the physician’s discretion. Elite layers in monthly 1:1 coaching, bi-annual dietitian sessions, bi-annual VO2 max and metabolic retesting, the annual strength and mobility assessment, and a bone density scan.

The Sano Longevity Program Was Designed by a Surgeon Who Spent Over a Decade Operating on the Downstream Consequences of the Standard American Lifestyle.

“In the operating room I would see the ravaging effects of metabolic dysfunction on the body. And what’s sad is that with proper education and proactive medical care we could have avoided ending up here.”

Dr. Meredith Sweeney, MD, FACS, FASMBS

By her own count, Dr. Sweeney spent 90% of her time outside the operating room managing the lifestyle and metabolic health of her bariatric patients. She rewrote the preoperative and postoperative diet protocols at Norton with no formal nutrition credential, because nobody else was going to do it and her patients needed it. She was filling a gap the system was not filling.

The Longevity Program is the practice she built after more than a decade watching what happens when patients get a 12-minute primary care visit and no plan for the next 30 years. It is structured the way it is because she has seen the cost of skipping it.

“I am a fixer, I always have been, which is why I went into surgery in the first place. At Sano Longevity I still help patients fix their health, I just do it from the ground up.”

Dr. Meredith Sweeney

The Longevity Program is the bottom. Fix it, and almost every other longevity marker on the panel improves alongside it.

What Dr. Sweeney found in her first 125 Sano patients:

~90% of new patients have elevated fasting insulin.

A marker not checked by traditional medicine and not reimbused by insurance companies. However it is the #1 biomarker of Longevity.

~80% of patients have excess visceral fat.

Visceral fat is the most dangerous and life-shortening body composition marker we have

These two findings alone are why the Longevity Program exists. The 46-marker longevity lab panel that runs at the start of every membership year captures both of them, and Dr. Sweeney builds the year-one plan around moving the markers that the rest of the system is not even measuring.

The Longevity Program Is a Compounding Game.

Sano Longevity is a membership practice, not a single-visit clinic. The results compound over time. The first three months are where the baseline data is captured, the first protocols are introduced, and the patient builds the habits that the rest of the year is structured around. By month six, body composition shifts begin showing up on scans. By month twelve, lab markers have moved and the patient has a year of data to refine the plan against. The patients who stay the longest see the most.

The 46-marker longevity lab panel, repeat VO2 max testing, repeat body composition scans, and quarterly appointments are all designed around a 12-month rhythm. That is also why the membership runs in 12-month blocks.

“The results compound over time. Small changes in the first quarter become measurable shifts by the second. Measurable shifts become real outcomes by the end of the year. The patients who stay the longest see the most.”

Sano Longevity

The membership runs in 12-month blocks because that is how long real change takes. Year one captures the baseline data and builds the habits. Year two and beyond are where the compounding happens.

Who Joins the Longevity Optimization Program.

The Longevity Program is for anyone who wants to optimize their health from the ground up and live a longer, healthier life.

Two Sano Longevity Program Members. Six Months In.

Case Study 1

The Healthcare Worker

Female, 50, nurse practitioner

  • Down 16 lbs (12 lbs of pure fat)
  • Visceral fat down 26 sq cm
  • VO2 max from 18 to 24, a 33% increase
  • Fat-burning efficiency up 24%

A 33% VO2 max improvement corresponds to a 30 to 45% reduction in all-cause mortality risk per American Heart Association data.

Case Study 2

The Night Shift Worker

Male, 51, third shift

  • Down 21 lbs (18 lbs of pure fat)
  • Muscle mass UP 3 lbs while losing fat
  • Body fat from 30% to 22%
  • Visceral fat down 26 sq cm
  • Biological age 60 to 58
  • Resting metabolic rate increased 100 calories per day
  • When most people lose weight, their resting metabolic rate slows down. His sped up. That is the strength training protocol working.
  • Resting metabolic rate +100 cal/day

Frequently Asked Questions About the Longevity Program

Six questions we hear most often about the 12-month commitment, the two tiers, and what is included.

The Longevity Program is Sano Longevity’s 12-month membership for patients who want to add years to their life and life to their years. It is built around quarterly physician appointments with Dr. Meredith Sweeney, an annual lab panel, unlimited body composition retesting, VO2 max testing, resting metabolic rate analysis on the PNOĒ platform, concierge access by text, email, and phone, and an Annual Comprehensive Longevity Evaluation at the end of year one. Two tiers are available: Gold ($299/mo) and Elite ($499/mo). See current pricing.

Sano Longevity is a membership practice, not a single-visit clinic. Longevity protocols compound. The first three months establish baseline data and the first interventions. The next three months show whether the protocol is moving the needle. Months six through twelve are when the body composition, VO2 max, and lab markers shift in measurable ways. The patients who stay the longest see the most.

The Gold tier ($299/mo) includes the comprehensive longevity assessment (VO2 max, resting metabolic rate, InBody 580 body composition, 46-marker longevity lab panel), quarterly physician appointments with Dr. Sweeney, an annual longevity biomarker panel, supplement evaluation and recommendations, unlimited InBody scans, concierge access by text, email, and phone, 20% off IV and IM therapies, and medication prescribing and monitoring when clinically indicated. This includes GLP-1s, hormones, peptides, and testosterone therapy at the Gold level if indicated. New patients also receive 1 month of continuous glucose monitoring with remote monitoring by Dr. Sweeney. A one-time $350 onboarding and comprehensive assessment fee applies.

Yes, with a routing distinction. Testosterone therapy is included in the Longevity Program Gold tier ($299/mo) at the physician’s discretion when clinically indicated, alongside GLP-1s, peptides, and other medications. Menopause and perimenopause-specific programming is in development. For estrogen/progesterone hormone replacement questions, please book a free consultation with Dr. Sweeney. If you are unsure which program fits, book a free consultation and Dr. Sweeney will help you choose.

The Elite tier ($499/mo) includes everything in the Gold tier plus monthly 30-minute 1:1 coaching sessions with a longevity coach, bi-annual registered dietitian meetings, bi-annual metabolic and VO2 max retesting, annual mobility and strength assessement with physical therapist, and a bone density scan. Meet the team for more on each practitioner.

Sano Longevity is a membership-based practice. Insurance is not accepted. The practice is HSA and FSA eligible. This model exists so Dr. Sweeney can spend 60 to 90 minutes with each patient reviewing data and building an individualized plan, instead of the 12 minutes a typical insurance-billed visit allows.
