The interview

What is your overall impression of Advanced Longevity?

Advanced Longevity is great because they make the process of early detection seamless, easy, and can save you a lot of time and money.

Why did you decide to start with Advanced Longevity?

I started with Advanced Longevity as an optimization, knowing that it would be better to catch any concerns early than to wait until I was feeling bad and sick to find things. I came to them before I had any indication, really, that I had anything to be concerned about.

Did you have any hesitations before joining?

Probably the #1 reason I almost didn't come would have been over some fears about what all poking, prodding, and stuff would happen while I was there.

How has your life improved since using the service?

My life has improved because Advanced Longevity discovered something I didn't know. I had a small umbilical hernia, which explained some moderate pain I'd been feeling in my stomach over the last few weeks which I thought was maybe gas. Because we caught it, I was able to schedule a procedure right away and have it fixed long before it grew and became more uncomfortable.

What was the outcome of the medical procedure you scheduled?

I was in and out of the operating room in less than 30 minutes and my recovery took almost no time at all. I no longer have any of that pain in my stomach I was feeling. When you let a hernia grow, it requires a much longer, much more expensive, much more unpleasant surgery.

What surprised you most about the experience?

Just how quickly I was able to get answers and look at my scans, which is unlike anything else I've experienced in the medical community, which is all about wait, wait, wait, wait more, and smaller waiting room to lead to yet another waiting room.

What is your main takeaway regarding early detection?

Early detection isn't just about stuff that sounds horrible, like cancer or heart problems. It can be about small things like my situation, that increased my quality of life, but were caught before it became a big thing and before I had to go through four separate doctor's appointments.

Frequently asked

Is the Advanced Longevity screening process invasive or uncomfortable?

Kurt Luidhardt initially feared the 'poking and prodding' involved in medical testing. However, he found the process seamless and was surprised by how quickly he received his results compared to traditional medical environments.

Can Advanced Longevity help with undiagnosed stomach pain?

Yes, Kurt used the service to investigate moderate stomach pain he thought was gas. The scans revealed a small umbilical hernia, allowing him to fix it before it required a more invasive and expensive surgery.

How does Advanced Longevity compare to traditional doctor appointments?

Kurt noted that traditional medicine often involves waiting through multiple appointments before a scan is suggested. Advanced Longevity provided answers quickly, bypassing the 'waiting room to waiting room' experience.

Kurt (00:00) Advanced Longevity is great because they make the process of early detection seamless, easy, and can save you lot of time and money. Howdy, I'm Kurt Luidhardt, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and my wife and I own a marketing agency. I started with Advanced Longevity as a optimization knowing that it would be better to catch any concerns early than to wait til I was feeling bad and sick to find things. And so I came to Advanced Longevity before I had any indication, really, that I had anything to be concerned about. Probably the #1 reason I almost didn't come would have been over some fears about what all pokin', proddin' and stuff would happen while I was there. So I would say that my life has improved because Advanced Longevity discovered something I didn't know. And it was relatively minor. I had a small umbilical hernia, which explained some pain I'd been feeling, moderate pain, over the last few weeks which I thought was maybe gas or something, but I a lot of pain in my stomach, you know, and didn't really understand it. And I'd been thinking about maybe I need to go to the doctor. But because we caught it, I was able to schedule a procedure with a doctor right away, and have this thing fixed long before that umbilical hernia grew and became more uncomfortable, which is common for most people. And when you let it grow, it requires a much longer, much more expensive, much more unpleasant surgery with longer recovery time. I was in and out of the operating room in less than 30 minutes and my recovery took almost no time at all. And I no longer have any of that pain in my stomach I was feeling. What surprised me the most about working with Advanced Longevity is just how quickly I was able to get answers and look at my scans, which is unlike anything else I've experienced in the medical community, which is all about wait, wait, wait, wait more, and smaller waiting room to lead to yet another waiting room. But I got answers quickly with Advanced Longevity and it was great. You know, something I didn't realize before working with Advanced Longevity, but now I realize is that early detection isn't just about stuff that sounds horrible, like cancer... or "I've got heart probelms." It can be about small things like my situation, that increased my quality of life, but were caught before it became a big thing, and more importantly, before I had to go through four separate doctor's appointments until finally somebody would have suggested a scan. And made the whole process quicker, easier and was a quick improvement in my life. I have recommended Advanced Longevity to friends and family because the peace of mind you gather from these kinds of early detections are worth every penny and worth every investment in time that you can afford. you want to know if you had heart disease or cardiovascular problems or cancer or something like that? But you can also find out, "Oh, I needed this small procedure."
