Dr. Aleksandra Gajer spent years in emergency medicine then shifted her focus toward helping people get ahead of health problems—not just treat them once they appear. She’s developed a practice that covers all aspects of longevity. Today we chat about metabolic health, hormones, lifestyle, and what it really means to take a more personalized approach to feeling your best. And we’re getting into some of the hottest topics in health right now: GLP-1 medications, peptides, hormone therapy, biological age, weight loss, and even aesthetics. Are these tools the answer or are we sometimes focusing on one piece of the puzzle while missing the bigger picture?

In this episode, Dr. Gajer shares her perspective on what it means to strive for health span rather than lifespan and why the goal should be about more than a number on the scale or a number on your biological age test.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
