“While attending the University of Nevada School of Medicine, I chose a rotation elective that trained me in age management medicine at Cenegenics. That changed everything for me. I joined Cenegenics immediately after completing my family practice residency. Seeing Cenegenics patients—who enjoy life and are willing to work with you to achieve health goals—has been a rewarding experience. It’s exciting to witness the transformation patients undergo, getting fitter and, in some cases, no longer needing certain medications they’ve been on for 10 years or longer.”
