Modern Age Update from Founder and CEO Melissa Eamer

Modern Age
2 min readMar 22, 2024

I’m writing today to share some sad news.

Modern Age opened the doors to our first clinic in 2022 with a mission to help people understand and take more control over how they age. Over the past two years, we have helped thousands of patients take important steps to improve their healthspan, and in the process, they have learned to embrace getting older with joy and optimism.

While we have been guiding our patients to invest in their future health, we have also worked with like-minded investors to help build the practice. However, in today’s challenging funding environment we have been unsuccessful at raising the capital we need to continue to run the business. As such, we have made the difficult decision to close the business. If you are a Modern Age patient, you will receive an email with more information and next steps.

I am enormously grateful to all those who have supported Modern Age over these last few years, including the investors who believed in and invested in this business; the incredible team of dedicated clinicians and employees whose passion for and commitment to our mission continues to make me proud; and to all of the patients who entrusted Modern Age with their critical longevity care.

As you may know, my interest in starting this business stemmed from helplessly watching my mother’s health deteriorate in her 50s and 60s. My goal was to prevent others from going through that same experience. While we will close our doors reaching only a fraction of those we had hoped to help, I’m encouraged by the growing interest and discussion on healthspan and confident that others will pick up where we leave off, ultimately fulfilling our mission of adding millions of years of healthy life expectancy to the world.

Thank you for your support of Modern Age. I hope that you will continue to age fearlessly for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Melissa
