Dr. Jonathan A Jarman, MD

Jonathan A. Jarman, MD, is a board-certified physician trained at Yale University and New York University whose work focuses on a central question in medicine: how to define, measure, and improve health. He believes that the absence of disease is not the same as health, and that modern medicine must look beyond diagnosis and treatment to better assess long-term function, resilience, quality of life, and healthy aging.

"My practice focuses on measuring and optimizing health before disease develops through the assessment of physiology, body composition, VO₂max, metabolic health, nutrition, fitness, biomarkers, and evidence-based preventive medicine."

As President and CEO of the Julian A. Jarman MD Research Foundation, he leads efforts to advance research, education, and public understanding in health optimization, longevity science, and healthy aging. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping define, measure, and improve health through science-driven approaches …that support function, independence, and quality of life throughout aging. Dr. Jarman is the author of more than 20 published articles on health optimization, nutrition, body composition, healthy aging, and longevity science, and is currently completing a book examining the evidence behind longevity interventions and healthy aging

Dr. Jarman’s background includes honors training at the University of Georgia and Medical College of Georgia, residency training at Yale University and New York University, service as a department head, board certification in Emergency Medicine, and experience as an Advanced Cardiac Life Support Instructor.
