About HealthSpan Chicago
Dr. Tyler Saunders is the founder of Healthspan Chicago and currently practices clinical medicine in Chicago. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and a certified practitioner through the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Saunders developed a passion for health and quality of life in his own life, which led him to explore how to integrate this interest into his medical practice. His current work focuses on longevity and healthspan, blending a primary care model with lifestyle interventions to support long-term health goals.
He founded Healthspan Chicago after realizing that while treating one patient at a time is effective, spreading this message on a larger scale could have an even greater impact. Dr. Saunders has been featured on WGN Chicago, CBS Chicago, and numerous podcasts, including Becoming Younger and many more. He also regularly delivers community lectures on longevity, quality of life, and long-term preventive care.
His journey began in medical school, where he frequently saw patients with multiple chronic illnesses, known in medicine as "multiple comorbidities." He quickly recognized that many of these conditions were not only preventable but often reversible. This realization fueled his commitment to preventive medicine—a model that focuses on early intervention to improve long-term health outcomes.
Dr. Saunders believes in helping people navigate the overwhelming information found on social media and guiding them toward personalized, evidence-based care. He advocates for an approach known as "Medicine 3.0," a term coined by Dr. Peter Attia, which emphasizes risk assessment and proactive strategies to prevent or delay chronic disease as much as possible.
We are excited that you’re interested in taking control of your health, and we’re here to help guide you on your journey to a longer, healthier life!
