THE LIVING METHOD · PASADENA, CA

Watching over
your brain so you can

build your legacy.

The Living Method is a physician-founded precision longevity center built on one conviction: cognitive decline is not inevitable. It is biological, measurable, and modifiable — when you catch it early enough to act.

OUR STORY

Built to find
what medicine misses.

The Living Method was founded by Dr. Alexis Anvekar out of a conviction that the conventional healthcare system is designed to treat disease after it appears — not to detect and address the biological factors that shape long-term brain health years before symptoms emerge.
 

After decades of clinical practice, Dr. Anvekar developed the patent-pending CogSpan Immersive Program — a structured framework that maps over 145 biological, lifestyle, and environmental data points to 10 Living Domains, generating a composite CogSpan™ Score that reveals hidden aging patterns no routine lab panel can detect.
 

CogSpan™ is your Cognitive Lifespan — the total span of time your brain remains clear, sharp, functional, and independent. Our mission is to help you extend it, with precision and proof.

PRINCIPLE ONE

Precision over guesswork

Every recommendation is grounded in your data — scored, ranked, and assigned targeted interventions based on medical literature.

PRINCIPLE TWO

Human, not algorithmic

Your CogSpan Council — physician, dietitian, fitness coach, and nutrition coach — reviews your data together and guides every step of your protocol.

PRINCIPLE THREE

Proof, not assumption

After 6 months, we repeat the full assessment. Your progress is measured, not assumed. The numbers don't lie.

PRINCIPLE FOUR

Early, not reactive

The 10–25 year window before dementia diagnosis is the most critical time to act. We're built specifically for that window.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Alexis Anvekar
MD, ABIHM

FOUNDER · THE LIVING METHOD™

I built The Living Method because I kept seeing the same gap: a system designed to treat disease after it appears, not to measure and modify the factors that shape long-term cognitive health before it's too late.

Dr. Alexis Anvekar was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated with honors from UC San Diego, obtaining degrees in Biochemistry and Cell Biology with a minor in Psychology. Financing 100% of her education independently after leaving home at age 18, she was exceptionally active in leadership throughout college and medical school — serving as Student Body President, Editor in Chief, Co-Founder of a student AIDS awareness organization, and Delegate for the AMA and AMWA. She received a national leadership award from AMWA given to the most promising female physician-in-training in the country.
 

As a senior, she was one of a handful of students invited to complete USC's Presidential Fellowship through the Marshall School of Business, and was the sole member of her class selected into USC's highest secret honor society.
 

After completing her Internal Medicine residency at the rigorous LAC+USC program — where she served as Housestaff President and National Vice President for the Committee of Interns and Residents, meeting regularly with politicians in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Washington D.C. — she was honored with an additional year as Chief Medical Resident.
 

She has been practicing since 2001 and was among the first physicians in California to establish a concierge medicine practice. Her work has since evolved into The Living Method's precision longevity framework, built around the patent-pending Longevity Intelligence System.
 

Beyond medicine, Dr. Anvekar co-founded "Kids for Change," a community group that has served monthly meals to homeless families at Union Station since 2010. She also founded Wild 4 Science in 2009, an after-school enrichment program fostering a love of science in young children. She loves traveling, spending time with family and friends, and photography.
