Longevity medicine has grown into an estimated multitrillion-dollar industry, and major hospitals are taking notice. According to STAT, clinics focused on longevity are popping up in hospitals across the country, positioning themselves to capture a share of this booming market.

STAT reporter Sarah Todd recently visited one such clinic to see what these programs actually offer. Her visit, discussed on STAT's biotech podcast "The Readout LOUD," highlights the central questions surrounding the trend: what are patients paying for, and does any of it work?

The source does not provide specific answers to those questions, but it underscores the growing commercial interest in longevity medicine and the need for evidence to match the enthusiasm.
