EP40: $250,000 Is What the Wealthy Spend on Longevity Care—How Small Practices Can Capture It.

STAT News (Oct 6, 2026) reports prestigious nonprofit hospitals are opening cash-pay longevity clinics: Northwestern Medicine (Human Longevity Clinic, $5,500/yr package), Weill Cornell (12-month cash-pay Longevity Medicine Program), and the Mayo Clinic (building a 300-patient unit). CNBC (Sept 29, 2026) notes wealthy Americans spend up to $250,000/yr on longevity care, with boutique memberships from $8,000-$19,000/yr (Human Longevity) to $40,000/yr (Equinox Optimize). 800+ US longevity clinics; UBS projects $8 trillion by 2030; concierge retainers $4,000-$45,000/yr.

In this episode, Marcus and Jules walk the 4-step functional-medicine SMB playbook: (1) build a 3-tier cash-pay membership ladder, (2) create the health-trajectory story with tools you already own (DEXA, VO2 Max step, Quest/LabCorp panel, Oura/Whoop), (3) lock the cash-pay no-insurance retainer model, and (4) position against the hospital wave with a local bend-the-curve narrative and 90-day member-first waitlist.

Includes: the parallel SMB playbook article (ai.advalorem.io/reports), the 3 AdValorem implementation packages, and the Discord CTA for a free 1-on-1 with Val.
