Lifespan is how long. Healthspan is how well. In the United States, the average gap between the two is about 12.4 years — more than a decade lived with chronic disease or disability.1 Longevity medicine is the work of closing that gap.
The whole person, measured honestly, over decades rather than visits. Our aim is the minimum medication possible while keeping you at optimal health.

Metabolic, lipid, inflammation, thyroid and nutrient markers.
Biological age testing, repeated to see whether your plan is working.
Our goal is not to be your primary care doctor. Keep them for your base coverage, refills, and routine care. Think of us as a consultant on the care you've been receiving — a second set of eyes with advanced training in longevity, hormones, metabolism, and functional medicine.
We zoom out, look at the whole picture, and ask the question most 15-minute visits never get to: what is actually driving this, and how do we fix it at the source?
In addition to comprehensive metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal panels, we partner with specialty laboratories to look at the systems standard primary care almost never touches.
Through our TruAge partnership we measure your biological age, pace of aging, and key aging biomarkers — so we can treat aging itself as a modifiable condition and track whether your interventions are actually working.
Comprehensive stool analysis through Diagnostic Solutions to map your microbiome, identify pathogens, inflammation markers, and digestive function. The gut is upstream of energy, mood, autoimmunity, weight, and skin.
We partner with a home sleep testing company to evaluate sleep apnea quickly — no months-long sleep-lab waitlists. Poor sleep silently drives hypertension, weight gain, brain fog, hormonal dysfunction, and heart disease.
Bring your Apple Watch, Whoop, Oura, Garmin, or CGM. We integrate your wearable data — sleep, HRV, recovery, glucose, activity — into your care plan so optimisation is driven by real life, not just lab day.
Thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, advanced lipids, insulin resistance markers, inflammation, micronutrients, and aging biomarkers — interpreted through an optimisation lens, not just 'normal range'.
98% as accurate as DEXA. We track muscle, visceral fat, and cellular health over time — so weight loss, hormone, and longevity decisions are based on what's actually happening in your body.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same signalling language your body already uses. The reason they work so well is that they are designed to modulate and improve the body's own efficiency, rather than disrupt native signalling the way introducing extra medication or supraphysiologic hormones occasionally can.
We use peptides only when clinically appropriate, and only with as much published science behind the indication as we can stand on. We have direct clinical experience with tesamorelin, BPC-157, semaglutide, tirzepatide, and many others — but the molecule is never the starting point.
Every recommendation is guided by extensive lab testing and tracked against clinical results. If the numbers and how you feel aren't both moving in the right direction, the plan changes. Peptides are a tool in the kit — not the kit.
Read the full peptide therapy programme →Don't think of autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol as life sentences. They are usually the body's reaction to decades of lifestyle — and in the right hands, much of that reaction can be reversed in months, not years.
We treat the root cause: sleep, hormones, gut health, inflammation, nutrition, movement, stress, and the metabolic terrain underneath the diagnosis. The medication you're on today is not necessarily the medication you'll be on a year from now.
Our north star is simple — minimum medication, maximum quality of life, for as many years as we can give you.
Lifespan is how long you live. Healthspan is how long you live in good health. In the US the average gap between the two is about 12.4 years (Garmany & Terzic, JAMA Network Open, 2024). Longevity medicine aims to close that gap.
Comprehensive labs, body composition on the InBody 970, hormone panels, and epigenetic age testing, interpreted together and repeated over time so we can see what is changing.
An initial evaluation is $250 self-pay and a follow-up is $150. Epigenetic age testing is included annually in Core membership. Wellness panels are billed at laboratory cost with no markup.
Yes. Our at-home capillary testing uses an EasyDraw kit to collect a small blood sample from your upper arm — no vein draws, no fingerpricks, no pain, and no lab visit. The whole process takes about 5 minutes, includes 1:1 live support, and samples are picked up the same day for processing at a CLIA-certified lab.
No. Capillary testing is a self-pay option for patients who dislike needles. When labs are medically necessary, we also order them through Quest and Labcorp, where insurance may apply.
Samples are processed at a CLIA-certified laboratory, the same federal quality standard used by hospital and commercial labs. If a test requires a traditional draw, we order it through Quest or Labcorp.
Often, yes. We test first, then use evidence-based supplements to correct deficiencies where appropriate. Medication is added only when your body needs more support — frequently at lower doses and with fewer side effects.
Salamat Clinic is a physician-led longevity, functional, and holistic medicine practice that works alongside your primary care or family medicine doctor. We act as a consultant layer — advanced testing, root-cause workups, hormone and metabolic optimisation — while your primary care provider keeps handling base coverage and refills. Patients without an established primary care doctor are welcome and we can help coordinate one.
A functional medicine doctor looks for the root cause of symptoms — gut health, hormones, inflammation, sleep, metabolic terrain — rather than only matching a diagnosis to a medication. At Salamat, functional and holistic medicine is delivered by board-certified physicians, so you get root-cause care without giving up medical rigor.
Yes. Our holistic medicine approach treats the whole person — sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, hormones, gut, and labs — and uses medication only when it's the right tool. We serve Atlantic City, Margate, Ventnor, Linwood, Northfield, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway, and the wider Jersey Shore.
Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, autoimmune flares, fatigue, brain fog, perimenopause and andropause symptoms, weight gain, poor sleep, and gut issues are the most common. With root-cause work, many of these are reversible in months, not years.
Before we prescribe medication, we look at whether evidence-based supplements can restore what your body is missing. Addressing deficiencies at the root often improves energy, metabolism, and hormones on its own — and lets us optimise your care with fewer medications and fewer side effects.
Step 1
Comprehensive labs show exactly where your body is deficient or out of balance.
Step 2
Where the evidence supports it, we prescribe targeted, high-quality supplements to correct those gaps.
Step 3
If your body needs more support, medication is added thoughtfully — often at lower doses.
Designed for patients who dislike needles. Collect your sample painlessly at home, and we'll use the results to guide your plan.
Please note: capillary testing is self-pay and not covered by insurance. When labs are medically necessary, we also order them through Quest and Labcorp, where insurance may apply.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) is a clinically studied, plant-based 5-day meal program developed by Dr. Valter Longo and his team at USC's Longevity Institute. It mimics the physiology of a water fast while you continue to eat — activating autophagy, stem cell regeneration, and a deep metabolic reset.
Done quarterly, ProLon is one of the few interventions with human data showing reductions in biological age markers, fasting glucose, blood pressure, CRP, and abdominal fat — the same levers we work on every day in the longevity programme.
Order your ProLon kit →We accept PPO and Medicare plans from Aetna, AmeriHealth, Horizon and UnitedHealthcare, including Clover Medicare and Humana Medicare.
We do not accept HMO plans, because we work alongside your primary care physician rather than replacing them.
If you have an HMO you are welcome as a self-pay patient — $250 for an initial evaluation, $150 for a follow-up — and we will still send your laboratory orders through your insurance.
Elective and wellness services are not covered by any insurer. Those are self-pay, and every rate is published on our pricing page.
Every price we charge is published — consultations, hormone therapy, longevity testing and aesthetics.
