STAY STRONG. STAY IN THE GAME. KEEP LIVING THE LIFE YOU LOVE.
The Ageless Protocol™ — an invitation-only longevity membership at Lake Avenue Wellness, built around advanced diagnostics, physician-led planning, and integrated optimization for the long game.
Most people don't lose their health all at once. It happens gradually — energy that doesn't quite come back after a hard week, injuries that linger longer than they used to, sleep that stopped being restorative somewhere along the way.
The activities you love start requiring more recovery. The risks you can't feel — cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive — are building quietly in the background. Traditional medicine waits for those risks to become problems.
The Ageless Protocol doesn't. It's built around finding and addressing what's coming before it arrives, and keeping you strong, capable, and in the game for decades longer than the standard of care would predict.
This Is For Patients Who Are
Still active
playing paddle, golf, tennis, skiing, cycling
want to know their actual biological age
not interested in waiting for a diagnosis
understand longevity is engineered not inherited
want physician team + longevity expert keeping everything integrated
Membership is limited and by invitation only.
What Sets This Apart
The Ageless Protocol combines physician-led medicine with longevity science the way most programs don’t — not as separate tracks that occasionally overlap, but as a single integrated plan built around your biology and your goals.
Our board-certified physicians handle the clinical foundation.
Josh Black, our SSRP-Certified Peptide Specialist and longevity coach, integrates your medical, metabolic, and recovery plans into something coherent and measurable.
One system, not a collection of services.

Designed for Wilmette and North Shore patients ready to replace reactive healthcare with a proactive, physician-led longevity system built around their biology and their life.
This isn't a standard wellness program. It's a long-term commitment to being the person who's still doing what they love at 70, 80, and beyond. If that's what you're looking for, request an invitation and we'll start the conversation. [Request an Invitation]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Ageless Protocol?
The Ageless Protocol is an invitation-only longevity medicine membership at Lake Avenue Wellness in Wilmette, IL.
It’s built around advanced diagnostics, physician-led healthspan planning, and integrated optimization care — designed to identify biological risks before they surface, build a plan around your actual physiology, and keep you strong and performing well for decades longer than standard medicine would predict.
It’s not a wellness subscription. It’s a serious clinical program for people who want to approach aging deliberately.
What is longevity medicine?
Longevity medicine is a proactive, data-driven approach to health that focuses on extending the years you’re strong, capable, and free from disease — not just extending lifespan.
It uses advanced diagnostics to identify biological risks before they surface, optimizes the systems that drive long-term health (hormones, metabolism, cardiovascular function, cognitive performance, cellular repair), and deploys targeted interventions based on your data.
At Lake Avenue Wellness, longevity medicine is physician-led and integrated — not a supplement stack or a biohacking protocol.
Who is this program designed for?
Active adults who want to be proactive rather than reactive about their health — people who are still skiing, playing paddle or golf, training, and doing the things they love, and want to stay that way well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond.
Patients who understand that longevity is something you build deliberately, not something that just happens. Most members are executives, professionals, or high-performing adults who want physician-level oversight, not a wellness app.
What diagnostics are included?
- Advanced cardiovascular, metabolic, and hormone labs well beyond a standard annual panel
- VO₂ max testing
- DEXA body composition scan
- Grip strength and movement assessment
- Coronary calcium scoring
- Galleri multi-cancer early detection (screening for 50+ cancer types from a single blood draw)
- Cognitive and sleep evaluation
Everything is reviewed by your physician and your longevity coach together, in context.
What is Josh Black's role in the program?
Josh Black is our Longevity Strategist and SSRP-Certified Peptide Specialist. He works directly alongside our board-certified physicians to design and coordinate each member’s full longevity plan — integrating the clinical findings from your physician, your hormone optimization program, your peptide protocols, your recovery strategy, and your performance goals into one coherent, measurable system.
On hormones side, Josh works closely with the physicians to ensure hormone optimization is aligned with the broader longevity plan rather than managed in isolation.
His role is strategy and integration — making sure every piece of your program is working toward the same outcome and adjusting when it isn’t.
How is this different from a concierge medicine membership?
Concierge medicine typically emphasizes access — same-day appointments, a physician who knows your name. The Ageless Protocol is built around a different question: not just “can I reach a physician when I need one” but “what is my biological trajectory and how do we actively change it.”
It combines advanced diagnostics, physician-designed healthspan planning, longevity integration, and optional targeted interventions — peptides, hormone optimization, senolytics, regenerative IVs, HBOT — deployed based on your data, not on a standard schedule.
How does membership work practically?
After your initial precision mapping and physician consultation, your plan is reviewed quarterly with real-time dashboard tracking in between. Targeted interventions are deployed based on what your data is showing, not on a fixed calendar.
Josh Black coordinates your day-to-day integration. Your physician team manages the clinical oversight. Membership is limited by design — this level of attention isn’t scalable to an unlimited patient panel.
How do I find out if The Ageless Protocol is right for me?
The best first step is requesting an invitation through the form on this page. We’ll reach out to schedule a conversation about your health goals, your current picture, and whether this program is the right fit.
Pricing and program details are discussed as part of that conversation — this isn’t something we run through a checkout page.
