Hello, I’m Alex.

When I think about the years ahead, I picture being an active grandfather. Joining the walk. Taking the trip. Getting down on the floor to play with my grandchildren—and getting back up.

I want the strength, energy, and freedom to participate in the life my family and I are building. That hope is at the heart of why I started Longevity Concierge Med.

My wife, Juliana, and I are both fifth-generation Chicagoans. We grew up with deep roots and strong family ties. We also watched people we loved reach older age with pain, illness, and limited mobility that gradually narrowed their world.

Seeing that loss of independence stayed with us. We began asking what we could do today to give ourselves—and our children—a better chance of living those later years differently.

What do you want to still be doing in the final decades of your life?

Why Hawaiʻi became home

Our relationship with Hawaiʻi began long before we moved here. We had visited the islands since we were younger, and Maui was one of our first trips together as a couple. In 2020, we returned with Juliana’s mother. Those memories became especially precious after we lost her suddenly to pancreatic cancer.

During the pandemic, I came to Hawaiʻi to support the emergency response. We returned to Chicago in 2021. As I transitioned into my role as a family nurse practitioner, I continued studying with experienced clinicians in regenerative medicine and pain management.

But we kept coming back to what everyday life in Hawaiʻi had felt like for our family. We moved more. We spent more time outside. Wellness was woven into our days. We noticed our children were sick less often and that their illnesses seemed less severe.

Those experiences made us think carefully about the habits our children would inherit from us. We could honor where we came from while being intentional about the life we built next.

We eventually chose Hawaiʻi as our permanent home. It was a family decision, rooted in how we wanted to live each day and what we hoped to make possible for the generations after us.

Why I started LCM

My family’s experience and my clinical work kept bringing me to the same place: the life a person hopes to live deserves a meaningful role in their care.

That requires time to listen. It means understanding your history, how you feel, what matters to you, and what you want to keep doing. It means putting relevant health information into context, discussing appropriate preventive care and treatment options, and following through as your needs change.

I started LCM to create that kind of relationship. A place where we can connect what we learn about your health to a practical gameplan—and keep returning to it together.

Where longevity and concierge care meet

Concierge medicine describes a more personal, ongoing care relationship, typically supported by a membership. At LCM, it means attentive care, continuity, and a provider who takes the time to know you.

Longevity brings a longer view: your health, function, independence, and quality of life in the decades ahead. Together, they shape how I practice—proactively, with thoughtful use of data, and always in the context of the person in front of me.

There is more health information available than ever. My role is to help you understand what is relevant to you and turn that understanding into decisions we can make together.

What “Grow Young” means to us

For our family, it means continuing to cultivate strength, movement, connection, and curiosity. Making room for the things that keep life full. Preparing to be active grandparents and staying involved in the lives of the people we love.

We cannot plan every outcome. We can begin making the life we want part of the conversation today.

So, close your eyes for a moment. Picture those later decades. What do you want to still be doing?
Let’s build care around that.

With care,
