Humanaut Health Opens Longevity Clinic in Austin, Eyes Franchising

Longevity services continue to boom, attracting entrepreneurs, investors and medical professionals in a race to help people live better for longer

Humanaut Health has opened its first-ever health optimization and longevity clinic, bringing personalized and preventive healthcare services to Austin, Texas, ahead of a planned nationwide expansion that includes selling franchises.

Located in The Grove, a mixed-use community in Austin, the 4,000-square-foot clinic will feature health-optimization tech including body imaging, fitness testing, an IV lounge and a regenerative medicine procedure room. Memberships start at $355 per month and members will have access to a team of licensed and credentialed medical providers focused on preventive care.

Humanaut Health says its services are designed to support “long-term quality-of-life goals” including disease prevention, energy, strength, mobility, recovery, sexual health and more.

“We believe that medical science breakthroughs – including body-identical hormone, peptides and regenerative therapies – can help millions unlock their potential to live vibrantly for decades,” said Dr. Amy Killen, co-founder and chief medical officer of Humanaut Health. “Our clinic is designed to be a destination where advanced diagnostics and innovative evidence-based therapeutics meet.”

Founded in 2023 by a team of entrepreneurs and medical experts including Jim Donnelly, the co-founder of Restore Hyper Wellness , Humanaut Health raised $8.7 million earlier this year in a seed round led by The Kabech Fund. The company said those funds would be earmarked for product improvements and franchise expansion strategies.

Following the Austin launch, Humanaut plans to open additional clinics in Dallas and South Florida, and eventually across the country as part of a nationwide strategic growth plan that includes franchising.

A New Approach to Healthcare

Upon their first visit to a Humanaut clinic, members are put through a full-body health assessment featuring blood lab, body scan and fitness tests to establish a baseline evaluation across 100-plus health markers. Members then collaborate with medical providers and wellness experts to create an individualized care plan based on their assessment results and personal goals.

The Austin clinic offers services including body-identical hormone therapy, body-identical peptide therapy and regenerative medicine procedures, along with nutrition counseling, sleep coaching and personal fitness training.

Humanaut’s baseline Zone membership costs $355 per month, plus a $295 join rate. The Zone membership features semi-annual body and brain testing, continuing provider care and access to wellness services including IV drips, healing treatments and personal training.

Humanaut also offers a Bond membership , a concierge-level longevity program. For $3,295 per month plus a $1,000 join fee, the Bond membership includes comprehensive testing, physician-led care, telemedicine services and access to cutting-edge regenerative medicine tests including genetic, biological age, gut, toxins and early cancer detection.

Humanaut sold 40 Bond memberships prior to the Austin location’s launch, which the company says exceeded projections.

Non-members can also purchase standalone wellness treatments and regenerative medicine programs.

Health Optimization Becomes Big Business

Longevity – essentially the science of aging gracefully, or slowing down the aging process altogether – has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in health and wellness following the pandemic, attracting entrepreneurs, investors and medical professionals in a race to help people live better, for longer.

Brands like Restore Hyper Wellness, Serotonin Centers and Lindora are opening wellness and recovery studios across the country, offering services from cryotherapy and infrared saunas to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

In January, Timeline raised $66 million in Series D funding for a line of longevity supplements and topical skin health products containing Mitopure, a proprietary ingredient (Urolithin A) designed to promote healthy aging.

Fitness brands are getting in on the longevity boom, too, envisioning a world where gyms and health clubs double as medical clinics.

Life Time launched its Miora Longevity and Performance clinics in November 2023, offering its members access to medical professionals and services including hormone replacement therapy, IV therapy, cryotherapy and GLP-1s.

Equinox followed suit, launching “Optimize by Equinox,”  a $3,000-per-month longevity membership that gives members access to biomarker tests from Function Heath, personalized training plans, and a team of fitness, nutrition and sleep coaches.

In a similar move, Fitness SF, a chain of Bay-area health clubs, partnered with health analytics company InsideTracker to offer its members and staffers access to DNA analysis and biannual blood biomarker testing.
