MEET Dr. Poonam Desai
Dr. Desai’s concierge program encompasses genetic analysis, laboratory results, gut microbiome evaluation, lifestyle factors, and cutting-edge imaging and anti-aging tests. Her expertise spans precision medicine, functional medicine, anti-aging and longevity, fitness, nutrition, and health optimization.
Dr. Desai, an osteopathic physician, is double-boarded in Lifestyle Medicine and Emergency Medicine. Additionally, she is fellowship trained in point-of-care ultrasound and precision medicine. She has extensively studied anti-aging, regenerative medicine, and functional medicine. In addition to her concierge medicine practice, she currently serves as an emergency medicine physician at a Level 1 trauma center in New York City. With a remarkable tenure of over 8 years as academic faculty as assistant proffessor Weill Cornell Medical School. She also served as ultrasound director at NewYork Presbysterian Queens for over 5 years educating medical students, residents, fellows, and other physicians. She has published many reputable, peer reviewed research in her field
Having witnessed potentially life-threatening conditions from preventable and chronic diseases as an ER doctor, Dr. Desai felt compelled to make a difference by focusing on disease prevention and lifestyle modifications. Understanding every aspect of their health, from medical history to lifestyle choices, has become integral to my approach. When patients express their insights about their own bodies, I listen attentively, recognizing the wealth of knowledge they possess. Through years of experience, I've learned that many individuals don't fit neatly into “standard treatment protocols”
Rather than merely treating symptoms and sending patients on their way, I'm committed to delving deep into data and analysis. My aim is to uncover underlying issues and address the root causes of their health concerns. This approach aligns with the principles of Precision Medicine, which harnesses genetic, laboratory, and body composition data to tailor nutrition and medical interventions for optimal health outcomes.
I believe maintaining peak health should be accessible to motivated individuals who refuse to settle for mediocre healthcare. What I offer isn't just an annual check-up—it's a lifestyle centered around data-driven metrics that we can monitor and adjust in real-time to optimize metabolic health.
My journey toward this philosophy has been influenced by numerous experts in the field, such as Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Marie Claire, and Dr. Sara Gottfried. Their contributions to longevity research have fueled my passion for optimal health.
This dedication to wellness extends beyond my professional life; I've made a conscious effort to prioritize my own health and aging process. I encourage others to do the same, viewing it as a worthwhile investment of time and resources. Together, we can continue learning about nutrition, fitness, and hormonal balance, guided by my personal experiences and commitment to personalized, precision medicine.
Given my background in emergency medicine, I understand the importance of personalized and coordinated care, especially in urgent situations. I'm confident that my expertise in precision medicine and age management will benefit my clients, drawing from my problem-solving skills honed in the ER. I am a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians, board-certified in Emergency Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, Menopause Society Certified, and fellowship-trained in Precision Medicine and with coursework from the Institute of Functional Medicine. My expertise centers on cancer prevention, gut health, inflammation, longevity medicine, and hormone health.
