I'm a physician and physician‑executive working to usher in the next era of medicine — and a teacher at the intersection of basic science, systems biology, and clinical practice. I founded Next Generation Medicine to build the intelligence and training infrastructure that makes this vision real, and I co‑chair Next Generation Longevity, our annual gathering in Japan. I currently serve as Chief Medical Officer at Hims (NYSE: $HIMS), where I help build the consumer platform to deliver the future of medicine to millions.
I came into medicine the long way around. I trained first as a basic scientist, and for years I assumed I'd spend my career as an MD‑PhD at the bench — working out how cells actually behave. I never quite let that go. Basic science is still how I see the body, and it's still the thing I find most beautiful about this work.
What pulled me toward the clinic — and what excites me most now — is watching basic science, systems biology, and medicine come back to the forefront together. After decades of treating organs and symptoms in isolation, we can finally understand health the way biology actually works: as signaling, as networks, as systems. That convergence is, to me, the most interesting thing happening in medicine.
I've spent the last decade building at that intersection. At Modern Age I built the first national integrated longevity clinic brand in the country; at Virta I helped reverse metabolic disease at scale; and I've since helped shape longevity care as Chief Longevity Officer at Superpower and Head of Longevity Medicine at Midi Health. Now, as CMO of Hims, I'm focused on bringing that systems-biology rigor to consumer care at scale. Each time the same gap appeared — the science was moving faster than any clinician could follow, and the tools to practice rigorously simply didn't exist.
That's why I started Next Generation Medicine: to bring first‑principles biology, modern tooling, and clinical practice back into one place — so the next generation of medicine is built on how the cell actually works, not on guesswork.
A few convictions that shape how I practice, what I build, and how I read the science — the operating principles behind the next generation of medicine.
Medicine has spent a century reducing the body to isolated parts. The next generation is grounded in cell biology — in signaling, pathways, and networks — because that's how living systems actually behave. Understand the system, and the right interventions follow.
People have the right to try things — provided they genuinely understand the risks and the benefits. The job isn't to gatekeep; it's to make the trade‑offs clear enough that an informed person can decide for themselves.
Too much good science dies on the way to the clinic. We need to move discoveries to patients far faster than we do today — and we should ride the wave of AI to get there, responsibly and with judgment, rather than letting it pass us by.
An intervention that can't scale doesn't help anyone. Everything I've built as an operator comes back to this: systems — of education, tooling, and delivery — are what turn a promising idea into something real, scalable, and accessible.
A working platform for clinicians practicing at the frontier of medicine — AI that compresses hours of clinical reasoning into minutes, the education to practice with confidence, and a global community convened once a year in Japan.
Ask any clinical question and get a mechanism‑grounded answer in seconds — drawn from the NGM knowledge base and the peer‑reviewed literature, and rendered as a diagram a clinician can act on.
Turn a raw biomarker panel into a systems‑level report — every value classified by optimization target, linked back to mechanism, and translated into a prioritized, defensible plan.
Expert‑led lectures and curricula that teach the mechanism first and the protocol second — so clinicians practice at the frontier with genuine confidence, not guesswork.
Trusted by a community of longevity practitioners, backed by a knowledge base maintained by a dedicated clinical research team.
Explore the platform and Academy — practice at the frontier without starting from scratch.

Start a conversation →Once a year I help convene the people building what comes next in medicine — clinicians, scientists, investors, and operators — for two days in Japan. It’s the gathering I always wished existed: small, interdisicplinary, and forward-looking while being honest about what is real.

The living laboratory
Japan previews the demographic future every country is heading toward — and meets it with a culture where longevity is built into diet, daily habit, and community, rather than bolted onto medicine after the fact. It’s the right place to ask what a society can do when it truly commits to healthy years of life.
Why healthspan has become a biological, technological, economic, and cultural systems challenge.
Biomarkers, AI, and meaning — a critical look at clocks, data, and predictive tools in the clinic.
How purpose, motivation, and social structure shape resilience and healthy aging.
A forward-looking synthesis grounded in clinical reality and systems thinking.
A small, working forum where ideas turn into pilots, partnerships, and cross-border collaborations.— The invitation we extend each year Apply to attend Longevity 2026 ↗
