Everything we publish is written to help you understand your options. None of it is a diagnosis, a prescription, or a substitute for being evaluated by a clinician who knows your history.
The articles, guides, quizzes, service descriptions and answers published on youngermemd.com are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They describe approaches used in age-management and functional medicine in general terms. They are not medical advice, and they are not tailored to any individual's history, medications, lab results or risk factors.
Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you have read on this website.
Reading this website, completing a quiz, submitting a form, or purchasing an assessment does not by itself create a physician-patient relationship with YoungerMeMD, with Medical Director Kenneth Varano, D.O., or with any member of our clinical team. That relationship begins only after you are formally evaluated by one of our clinicians.
No treatment is prescribed on the basis of website content. Any therapy we offer follows an individual evaluation that may include your history, an examination and laboratory testing.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department immediately. Do not use this website, our contact forms, or email to seek help in an emergency — they are not monitored continuously and are not an appropriate channel for urgent care.
Patient stories, reviews and outcomes described on this site reflect the experience of the individuals concerned. They are not a promise, guarantee or prediction of the result any other person will get. Response to any therapy depends on factors including your baseline health, adherence, and other conditions and medications.
Some therapies discussed on this site involve peptides, bioidentical hormones or compounded preparations. Where a product or preparation has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the use described, no statement on this website should be read as an FDA-approved claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
These therapies are prescribed only where a clinician has determined they are appropriate for a specific patient, and are dispensed only through appropriately licensed pharmacies.
Clinical content on this site is reviewed by our medical team under Medical Director Kenneth Varano, D.O., who is board certified in integrative medicine and family practice and brings over 30 years in clinical medicine and more than 20 years in age management and functional medicine. Medicine changes; an article that was accurate when published may not reflect current evidence or current practice. Publication and review dates are shown on our articles.
This website links to third-party resources, including our patient portal and scheduling and supplement platforms. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy and security practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.
