Mariela Padro, MD is a psychiatrist in Miami, Florida. Her approach takes time to understand each patient’s symptoms, history, and broader context before recommending care.
What Is Longevity Medicine
An Individualized Approach to Healthy Aging
Longevity medicine is an emerging area focused on healthspan — the years lived in good health — through assessment of risk factors and attention to established preventive care, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress. Many interventions promoted under "longevity" or "anti-aging" are not established as effective for extending lifespan; claims of reversing or significantly slowing aging are not supported by current evidence.
A clinical evaluation can consider established risk factors — cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, sleep, mood, and lifestyle — alongside individual history and goals. Recommendations depend on the evaluation and on what services the practice offers.
Mariela Padro, MD may consider longevity-oriented evaluation in Miami, Florida, combining psychiatric care with attention to general health behaviors. Whether specific therapies are appropriate or available should be confirmed with the practice.

Our Approach
Individualized Health Evaluation
An evaluation considers your medical and psychiatric history, sleep, mood, lifestyle, and individual risk factors. Lab testing is ordered only when clinically indicated.
Rather than a generic protocol, recommendations depend on the findings and your goals. Many products marketed for "anti-aging" are not established as effective; the focus is on established preventive care and individualized assessment.
The practice is based in Miami, Florida. Which specific services or therapies are offered should be confirmed with the practice.
- Review of history, mood, sleep, and lifestyle
- Clinically indicated lab testing
- Established cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment
- Preventive care and health behaviors
- Individualized recommendations based on the evaluation
Brain Health
Cognitive and Mental Health in an Evaluation
Cognitive concerns and mood are relevant to overall health and may be considered as part of an evaluation. Brain health is influenced by many factors, including sleep, mood, cardiovascular and metabolic health, and lifestyle.
As a psychiatrist, Mariela Padro, MD may consider cognitive and mental-health factors within a broader evaluation. Claims that specific therapies prevent dementia or reverse cognitive aging are not established by current evidence; any consideration of cognitive concerns should include appropriate assessment.
If cognitive changes are present, evaluation may include considering reversible causes and, where indicated, referral for formal cognitive assessment.
- Mood, sleep, and stress considered in context
- Cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors reviewed
- Cognitive concerns assessed appropriately
- Referral for formal cognitive testing when indicated
- No claim to prevent or reverse dementia
Therapies and Evidence
Considering "Longevity" Therapies
A range of products and therapies are marketed under "longevity" or "anti-aging," including hormones, peptides, NAD+ precursors, and supplements. Evidence for these varies widely, and many claims (such as reversing aging, cellular repair, or extended lifespan) are not established.
Some products are FDA-approved for specific indications; others, including compounded preparations and many supplements, are not FDA-approved or reviewed for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Whether any specific therapy is appropriate depends on the evaluation and on availability.
Whether any specific therapy (such as hormone therapy, peptides, or NAD+) is offered should be confirmed with the practice. The pages for those topics provide more detail on their evidence and limitations.
- Evidence for "longevity" therapies varies widely
- Anti-aging and lifespan-extension claims are not established
- FDA-approved vs. non-FDA-approved products differ
- Appropriateness depends on the evaluation
