Longevity medicine should be good medicine.

A Stanford-trained internist writing about prevention, symptoms, labs, and the places longevity medicine gets ahead of itself.

How I think

Good medicine first.

Longevity can get weird fast. The filter: evidence, safety, follow-through, and a plan to stop when an intervention is not earning its keep.

Know what you are measuring

A lab matters when it changes the decision, not because it makes the dashboard look complete.

Match biology to biography

Risk, symptoms, hormones, sleep, medications, stress, and goals belong in one clinical story.

Retest, edit, stop

Every intervention needs a reason, a check-in, and a way out if it is not helping real life.

Why this site exists

Medicine, then systems.

Hillary trained at Stanford and Columbia, then built companies around the same problem: how to turn medical evidence into decisions people can actually use.

Clinical training

Stanford biology and medicine, Columbia oncology training.

Company building

Built a VC-backed mental health company and learned where protocols break when real patients are on the other side.

CareCore

Guardrails for longevity care: physician review, documentation, and stop rules.

The Letter is where I do the thinking in public.

Prevention, labs, symptoms, and healthspan, written for people who want signal without the miracle language.

Speaking and advisory

For health topics that attract bad slogans.

Longevity science, women's health, clinical AI, and the care models that need more medicine than marketing.
