Dr. Greg Moreno, MD and Dr. Keith Yablonicky, MD founded MEDHERO to challenge the conventional approach to aging. Both physicians bring extensive emergency medicine training and a passion for proactive healthcare that addresses decline before it becomes disease. They recognize that aging isn’t simply about adding years to your life (lifespan). It’s about maintaining the strength, mental sharpness, and vitality that make those years worth living – something referred to as your “healthspan.” Their specialized training in age-extension therapies allows them to offer treatments that work at the deepest biological levels, slowing cellular aging and optimizing the systems that keep you functioning at your best.
Longevity Medications
Understanding Longevity Medications
Longevity medications are pharmaceutical therapies designed to slow the aging process and extend the number of years you live in good health. These treatments work at the cellular and molecular level to address fundamental biological mechanisms that drive aging, including hormone decline, mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic imbalance, and cellular damage. Unlike conventional approaches that merely manage symptoms of age-related diseases, these therapies target the underlying processes that drive aging.
Examples include bio-identical hormone restoration to address declining testosterone or estrogen levels, peptide injections for metabolic and body-composition optimization, NAD+ therapy to support cellular energy production, and rapamycin to promote cellular renewal. Each treatment addresses specific aspects of aging through distinct biological pathways, enhancing your body’s natural repair mechanisms or improving cellular function.
Our Longevity Medications Services
Our practice offers a comprehensive range of anti-aging therapies tailored to your individual needs and health goals. Each treatment is supported by extensive lab work and ongoing medical supervision to ensure optimal results.
Our Approach to Longevity Medications
Comprehensive 90-Minute Consultation With Experienced Physicians
Your experience begins with an extended appointment with either Dr. Moreno or Dr. Yablonicky, both of whom have years of specialized training in age-extension medicine. During this session, you’ll discuss your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and specific goals for hormone restoration, weight loss, or other anti-aging treatments. You’ll have ample time to explore which therapies, such as rapamycin, semaglutide, or NAD+, align best with your needs.
Extensive Lab Testing and Personalized Analysis
Following your initial appointment, you’ll undergo comprehensive laboratory testing tailored to the therapies being considered. Dr. Yablonicky or Dr. Moreno personally reviews every lab result, looking for patterns and imbalances in hormone levels, metabolic markers, and cellular function that standard primary care might miss. They create a customized treatment plan based on your labs, medical history, symptoms, and goals, with each dose tailored to your body’s unique biochemistry.
Starting Your Treatment Regimen
Your customized protocol launches with comprehensive guidance on administration techniques and scheduling. Injectable therapies like GLP1 and NAD+ are administered either at our clinic or self-administered at home after proper training. Hormone restoration can be delivered through pellets, pills, gels, creams, patches, or injections depending on what works best for your lifestyle, while oral medications like recovery peptides or rapamycin come with detailed dosing schedules to optimize absorption and effectiveness.
Optimizing Results Through Lifestyle Integration
Success with age-slowing therapies extends beyond just taking the prescription as directed. Our team guides nutrition, exercise, sleep optimization, and stress management strategies that enhance your results. NAD+ patients are observed for 15 minutes after administration to monitor for mild side effects such as flushing or nausea, which resolve quickly once the infusion is adjusted.
Ongoing Monitoring and Protocol Adjustments
Scheduled monitoring sessions track how your body adapts to therapy and identify opportunities for refinement. Your membership level determines whether you have ongoing access to consultations or sare subject to et appointment schedules to review your results. Diagnostic testing occurs at strategic points throughout your protocol to measure changes in hormone balance, metabolism, and cellular performance, enabling Dr. Moreno or Dr. Yablonicky to fine-tune your regimen for optimal outcomes.
Why Choose Us for Longevity Medications
MEDHERO takes a fundamentally different approach to age-extension medicine. While many wellness clinics offer these treatments only through mid-level providers, every consultation and dosing decision here comes directly from Dr. Moreno or Dr. Yablonicky, who have each spent over a decade earning board certification and mastering their craft. Their emergency medicine background gives them a unique perspective on how the body responds to pharmaceutical interventions, allowing them to anticipate interactions and side effects that less-experienced practitioners might miss.
What distinguishes our practice is the refusal to compromise on thoroughness. Your treatment isn’t based on standard protocols pulled from a manual. It’s built from the ground up using your specific lab results, body composition data from DEXA scanning, metabolic measurements from VO2 max testing, and a detailed understanding of your health history. Both doctors treat their own neighbors and friends in the community. They’ll recommend against a treatment if it’s not right for you, because your results matter more than revenue.
Maximize Your Healthspan With Physician-Supervised Longevity Medications
Age-slowing pharmaceuticals offer a scientifically backed approach to help you maintain strength, vitality, and mental sharpness for decades to come. At MEDHERO, you’re not just getting prescriptions. You’re gaining partners in your healthspan who understand the nuances of each therapy and how they work together. Dr. Greg Moreno, MD and Dr. Keith Yablonicky, MD bring emergency medicine expertise and years of specialized practice to every patient interaction, ensuring you receive safe, effective, individualized care.

FAQs
What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers, signaling the body to heal, regulate, build, and recover. Not all peptides are FDA-approved, and MEDHERO guides our members through the landscape with physician oversight, proper sourcing from FDA-registered pharmacies, baseline and ongoing biomarker monitoring, and, most of all, honesty about the risks and benefits.
What are GLP1 peptides?
Semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide are pharmaceuticals originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have proven highly effective for weight loss and metabolic optimization. Marketed under brand names like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Monjaro, they mimic hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. Administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection, they help reduce food cravings, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote significant fat loss when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle habits.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a critical co-enzyme found in every cell’s mitochondria that powers how cells generate energy and repair themselves. Your NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, contributing to decreased stamina, cognitive decline, and cellular aging. Our practice offers intravenous infusions, intramuscular injections, and subcutaneous injections that deliver this co-enzyme directly where your body needs it most, since oral supplements don’t effectively raise levels due to digestive breakdown.
What are the signs that you need hormone replacement therapy?
Common indicators include persistent fatigue, difficulty sleeping, decreased libido, unexplained weight gain, loss of muscle mass, poor concentration, and mood changes. Women may experience hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and significant changes in menstrual patterns that signal declining hormones during perimenopause or menopause. Men may notice reduced morning erections, increased body fat particularly around the midsection, decreased motivation, and declining strength despite regular exercise, all suggesting testosterone has dropped below optimal ranges.
What is rapamycin?
Rapamycin is a pharmaceutical initially developed as an immunosuppressant that has emerged as a promising age-extension therapy. It inhibits a cellular pathway called mTOR, which promotes cellular cleanup processes similar to fasting and may extend healthspan when periodically suppressed. Animal studies have shown remarkable life-extending effects, and it’s now being carefully applied in human age-extension medicine through proper dosing and monitoring by experienced physicians.
