Anyone searching for longevity medicine in Austin finds two extremes: conventional primary care with no prevention focus, or membership clinics selling a fixed annual package. Sable Ridge sits deliberately in between — internal medicine as the foundation, a required diagnostic sequence before therapy, and the willingness to say that something is not necessary. The practice is built for self-pay patients who want data-driven prevention without a sales conversation attached.

The baseline is a 42-marker panel built around cardiometabolic risk: ApoB, Lp(a), fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, HbA1c, a full thyroid panel, sex hormones, ferritin and a complete metabolic panel. Function is measured, not estimated — VO2max by treadmill spiroergometry, body composition and bone density by DEXA, grip strength and a two-week continuous glucose trace. Where family history or the panel warrants it, imaging is added: coronary artery calcium score and, for selected patients, low-dose lung CT. Therapy follows the findings in a fixed order — lipid and glucose management first, then hormone optimization where clinically indicated, then structured training and nutrition programming with recheck intervals set in writing at the start. Epigenetic age testing is offered as a tracking tool and explicitly framed as research-grade, not diagnostic.

Self-pay patients in Austin and Central Texas — typically 35 to 60, often with a family history of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes — who want a measured baseline and a plan they can follow for years. Common reasons for a first visit: an abnormal lipid panel their primary care physician called 'borderline,' declining energy and recovery, perimenopausal symptoms, or the wish to establish a baseline before anything is wrong.
