Clinical longevity without hype.
A physician-scientist's approach to evidence, judgment, and modern preventive medicine.
Dr. Sukhjit "Sarge" Takhar is a triple-board-certified physician and physician-scientist bringing judgment back to longevity medicine. As Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of PrimaryMD, he is building a model of concierge primary care and evidence-based longevity medicine grounded in rigorous science, advanced diagnostics, small panels, clean incentives, and real physician-patient relationships. His central idea is simple: more data does not automatically create better health. Better judgment does.
The framework
Three ideas to start with.
The Judgment Gap
The distance between what testing can measure and what a physician can responsibly conclude from it. Closing that gap, not ordering more tests, is the real work of preventive medicine.
Read →IdeaOptimization Theater
Health interventions performed because they feel rigorous rather than because they change outcomes: dashboards, stacks, and scores that substitute measurement for medicine.
Read →IdeaDecision-Linked Testing
A test is worth ordering only when its result would change a decision. Testing should be physician-led and interpreted in clinical context, or it is noise.

Notes on evidence and judgment.
PrimaryMD
Where the clinical work lives.
The model is built on clean incentives. The practice sells no supplements and marks up no labs. It runs advanced diagnostics, but each test is physician-led and ordered only when its result would change a decision. Small panels keep the relationships real and the continuity intact.
