Conditions we treat in Franklin, Tennessee
Your symptoms are real. Let's find what's driving them.
Most people who come to us have already seen a doctor and been told their labs are fine. They were tested with too few markers, read against the wrong ranges. Start with what you're feeling.
What conditions does The Longevity Club + Clinic help with?
The clinic, led by Dr. Josh Axe in Franklin, Tennessee, sees the most patients for thyroid symptoms and Hashimoto's, perimenopause and menopause, and insulin resistance or weight that won't move, along with fatigue, gut and autoimmune conditions, low testosterone, PCOS, brain fog, sleep, mold and Lyme illness, heart risk and integrative cancer support. Care starts with advanced bloodwork read against optimal ranges, then a written nutrition and herbal plan, with therapies where the labs support them.
Hormones & thyroid
"I was told my thyroid is fine."
TSH is one number in a cascade of six. We run all six, plus the iron, selenium and zinc your thyroid needs to convert T4 into active T3.
How we find the cause"My hormones are all over the place."
Hot flashes, 3am waking, weight shifting to the middle. We map estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, cortisol, thyroid and insulin together.
How we find the cause"I don't feel like myself anymore."
Total testosterone means little without SHBG, free T, estradiol and thyroid. The full male panel, then the levers that raise your own production.
How we find the cause"My cycles have never been regular."
Insulin is usually the driver. We test it, then rebuild cycles through food, botanicals and metabolic repair.
How we find the causeEnergy, weight & metabolism
"I'm exhausted and my labs came back normal."
Usually iron, thyroid conversion and mitochondrial nutrients running low at the same time. Every one of them is measurable.
How we find the cause"My weight won't move, no matter what I do."
Weight resistance is a signal. Thyroid, insulin, cortisol and inflammation, often two or three at once.
How we find the cause"My A1c is creeping up."
Fasting insulin climbs for years before glucose moves. We measure it, with HOMA-IR, ApoB and triglyceride-to-HDL.
How we find the cause"Should I be on a GLP-1?"
Raise your own GLP-1 with food, fiber and training first. If you're already on one, protect your muscle with protein and strength work.
How we find the cause"I'm wired and tired."
A four-point cortisol curve shows exactly which pattern you're in, and the plan follows the pattern.
How we find the cause"I wake up at 3am every night."
Usually a cortisol and blood sugar rhythm problem. We test the curve and restore sleep without sedation.
How we find the cause"I can't think clearly anymore."
Blood sugar swings, B12, thyroid conversion, iron and inflammation are the usual suspects, and all show up on a proper panel.
How we find the causeGut, immune & chronic infection
"I'm bloated every single day."
Bloating and irregularity have testable causes: overgrowth, low stomach acid, permeability. Then we repair in the right order.
How we find the cause"My antibodies keep climbing."
We look for what the immune system is reacting to: gut permeability, infection, exposures, nutrient gaps. Alongside your specialist.
How we find the cause"I got worse on every treatment."
Order is everything here. Drainage before binding, every time, then ozone and HOCATT once the body can clear.
How we find the cause"My knees ache every morning."
Inflammation markers, nutrient status and targeted therapies like shockwave, red light and ozone.
How we find the causeHeart, longevity & cancer support
"My doctor wants me on a statin."
A second opinion that measures what predicts risk: ApoB, Lp(a), LDL particle number, fasting insulin and inflammation.
How we find the cause"I feel fine. I want to keep it that way."
Biological age, the markers that predict how you'll age, and a plan to keep your healthspan as long as your lifespan.
How we find the cause"I want to support my body through treatment."
Nutritional and supportive care alongside your oncology team, never instead of it. Every botanical screened against your treatment.

Most people fit more than one
One driver can explain three symptoms.
This is the most common pattern we see, and why treating each symptom separately rarely works. We look for the upstream driver first.
Ferritin of 24
Free T3 at the floor
Tired after 8 hours
Metabolism slows
Then the thyroid responds
Iron is a required cofactor for converting T4 into active T3. Correct the ferritin and a thyroid that looked "sluggish" often starts working again.

Questions
Good to know.
The questions we're asked most. For anything else, call and ask a person.

What conditions does The Longevity Club + Clinic treat?
We help most with thyroid symptoms and Hashimoto's, perimenopause and menopause, fatigue, weight that won't move, insulin resistance and prediabetes, gut problems including IBS and SIBO, autoimmune conditions, low testosterone, PCOS, brain fog, sleep problems, burnout, joint pain, cholesterol and heart risk, mold and Lyme illness, and integrative support alongside cancer treatment. We also see people with nothing wrong who want to stay that way.
I've already seen my doctor and my labs were normal. Can you still help?
That's the most common story we hear. Most standard panels run about 15 markers and read them against ranges built to catch disease. We run up to 115 and read them against optimal ranges, which is where the patterns behind fatigue, weight gain and hormone symptoms usually show up.
Do you replace my specialist?
No. For autoimmune disease, cancer, heart disease and diabetes, we work alongside your specialist and coordinate around their care. Everything we do is designed to be additive.
What if I have more than one of these?
Most people do. Low iron, slow thyroid conversion and high insulin often show up together, and one driver can explain three symptoms. That's why we test broadly first and fix the upstream driver before chasing each symptom.
