Core Wellness + Longevity

Core Wellness + Longevity operates in Nashville, Tennessee, under the clinical direction of Ryan A. Henderson, MSN, ACNP-BC, a board-certified acute care nurse practitioner with certification from the American Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners (ABAAHP). The clinic structures its services around precision medicine principles, utilizing advanced diagnostics and biomarker analysis to create individualized treatment protocols for patients seeking to optimize metabolic function and extend healthspan. Henderson's dual background in acute care and anti-aging medicine informs a clinical approach that addresses both immediate health concerns and long-term wellness optimization, with particular emphasis on metabolic dysfunction, cellular aging, and age-related decline in physical and cognitive performance.

The clinic offers NAD+ therapy as a cornerstone intervention for patients experiencing age-related metabolic decline, chronic fatigue, or cognitive changes. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) administration supports cellular energy production through mitochondrial function enhancement and plays a documented role in DNA repair mechanisms and sirtuin activation. Henderson prescribes NAD+ protocols based on individual patient metabolic profiles, adjusting dosing schedules and delivery methods according to baseline biomarkers, symptom presentation, and treatment response. The clinic's anti-aging protocols extend beyond single interventions to include comprehensive metabolic health assessments that examine insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, hormone panels, and nutrient status, allowing for multi-system treatment plans that address the interconnected nature of aging processes.

Henderson's ABAAHP certification reflects specialized training in age management medicine, including advanced understanding of endocrine optimization, metabolic syndrome reversal, and longevity science applications. His clinical model emphasizes patient education throughout the treatment process, ensuring individuals understand the biological mechanisms underlying their symptoms and the rationale for recommended interventions. Initial consultations at Core Wellness + Longevity include detailed health history review, current medication and supplement analysis, and discussion of specific health goals, whether those involve improving energy levels, enhancing recovery capacity, addressing weight management challenges, or implementing preventive strategies against age-related disease. Henderson's acute care background enables recognition of contraindications and appropriate patient selection for advanced therapies.

Patients at the Nashville clinic undergo in-person consultations that include physical assessment, review of recent laboratory work or ordering of new diagnostic panels, and development of phased treatment plans. The clinic's precision medicine approach means treatment protocols evolve based on objective response data rather than following standardized timelines. Follow-up appointments track biomarker changes, symptom resolution, and any necessary protocol adjustments. For patients receiving NAD+ therapy, Henderson monitors both subjective improvements in energy, mental clarity, and physical performance alongside objective measures such as metabolic panel results and body composition changes. The clinic maintains a focus on sustainable health improvements rather than short-term interventions, with patient plans often incorporating lifestyle modification guidance, nutritional optimization strategies, and supplement protocols designed to support and extend the benefits of peptide and NAD+ therapies.

Core Wellness + Longevity serves the greater Nashville metropolitan area with in-person services exclusively, allowing for thorough physical examinations and direct provider-patient relationships throughout treatment. The clinic's location in Tennessee positions it to serve patients throughout Middle Tennessee seeking alternatives to conventional primary care models that may not address optimization and prevention with the same depth. Henderson's practice model attracts patients who have already explored standard medical channels for concerns like persistent fatigue, difficulty with weight management despite lifestyle efforts, or early signs of metabolic dysfunction, and who are seeking a provider with specific training in longevity medicine and metabolic optimization. The clinic's integration of ABAAHP protocols with Henderson's acute care clinical judgment creates a practice environment where advanced wellness interventions are delivered with appropriate medical oversight and individualized risk assessment.
