Velocity Health

Health, to us, is capacity. The energy, mental clarity, and physical resilience to do what matters to you, and to keep doing it as the years add up. Longevity follows from that. We're not chasing delusions of immortality, or biohacking our way to 120 years old. Our goal is to extend your prime: the years you spend strong, sharp, still fully yourself. We care more about healthspan than lifespan. That's why our work is proactive. We look for risks years before they become problems, build the plan around your specific biology, and bet on small advantages compounding over decades. Health and longevity are the doors to opportunity. What excites us most is what our members do with it.

Things are going to move VERY fast. And there will be a lot of headlines like “BREAKTHROUGH” and “INNOVATION” and maybe even “CURE”. These words are exciting, create a lot of hype, and make it very easy to sell. The hard part will be that some of these headlines will honestly earn the excitement they share. So how should you, the person who keeps up with the news and wants the best for their health, navigate the excitement to come? The best way forward will be to have a doctor you can trust. And we know that trust in doctors is at an all time low, but if you’re seeing this, you’re on X. And if you’re on X, you know how many good doctors there are out there. Find a doctor you can trust, and bring them any and all questions you have and papers you can find. They know you, they know the science, and they can help you navigate the headlines and keep your health on the cutting edge.

The “black box” of peptides just got a little bit lighter. In moving these peptides to Category 1, more licensed pharmacies will be able to compound their own peptides, resulting in less gray market uncertainty. This opens the door to safer peptide usage, increased research opportunities, and most of all, better patient outcomes.

Are you old enough to remember what good healthcare feels like? Medicine is more modern and technically advanced than any other time in history, yet people have never felt more disconnected from high quality care. Looking back, there was a time when people were proud to call a doctor “their doctor”, and those doctors truly knew their patients. Who they were, the lives they lived, and the unique intricacies that played a role in their health. And along the way, through an amalgamation of insurance battles, administrative bloat, and corporate takeover, the thing that took the greatest hit.. was the relationship. So we at Velocity are bringing it back. As we step into the future of medicine technologically, we are stepping back into the rich history of having a relationship with your doctor. With Velocity, your doctor knows, hears, and understands you. With Velocity, your doctor has time for you. And with Velocity, your doctor walks your health journey with you every step of the way. The future of medicine is here, but it’s time we got back to the good old days.

Congratulations to three of our Velocity physicians, Dan Fosselman DO, Ashley Chambers MD, and Dr. Deep @DrDeepMD on being named in Offcall’s Most Trusted Physicians! In a time when trust in mainstream medicine is at a low, it’s more important than ever to find clinicians and physicians you can trust. This award is a testament to not just who we are, but the change we are bringing to medicine and to our members lives.

Women have been neglected by the current healthcare system. Stop us if this story sounds familiar: As the years have come and gone, the symptoms feel like they have started rolling in on waves: -Thinning hair -Weight gain -Muscle pain -Low libido -Bouts of unexplained anxiety or irritability -Trouble falling asleep or staying awake -Memory lapses -Feeling flushed or hot throughout the day Some days it’s "none or maybe one", other days you're checking off all on the list... and some days you can't quite put your finger on it, but you just know something doesn't feel right. So you decide to go to the doctor. You list out your symptoms as best you can and try to do so with a smile on your face, only to be told: "It's just aging" and given generic health advice you've heard (and tried) a million times before. Not satisfied with this, you go to another doctor, and they prescribe something for the sleep issues. Still plagued with the other issues, you seek out yet another doctor who prescribes something for the anxiety. Next thing you know, you're on too many supplements and prescriptions to count, and you still don't feel any better. All of this, because "it's just aging" Women deserve better. They deserve to be heard. They deserve to be understood. And they deserve to be in the driver's seat of their own health journey, with a clear map to where they are going. That's why Velocity is proud to offer a dedicated space for women's health. Lead by women's health expert @brittanybussemd, our female members are seen as the unique women they are. The very first thing that happens is that you are heard. Not just in one ear and out the other, but truly understood. Then, the conversation begins. What has felt like a chaotic uprising of symptoms is explained at the depth you've been looking for. Once we understand what you're going through, and you understand how you got here, we work together to carve out a path forwards. You belong in the driver's seat of your health journey. Velocity is just here to help you get there.

HUGE congrats to @brittanybussemd for getting it done in the Chicago marathon!! You are the embodiment of health, fitness, and resilience. Us at Velocity, as well as the members you care for, are all better for having you in our lives. Thank you for being you, and CONGRATS!!!!
