Helping You Live Healthier Longer
Personalized plans to keep you feeling your best using the latest in clinically proven health sciences.
Aging Doesn't Have to be Scary
You're working hard to build the retirement you've always imagined, but will you have the health to enjoy it?
Decades planning for financial security doesn't prepare your body for the years ahead. Modern healthcare treats disease after it develops. At Vita Health, we're working to protect your health before it's lost.
We're focused on your healthspan—the years you live with strength, energy, independence, and purpose. The biological processes that cause aging begin decades before symptoms appear. We develop a personalized plan to help optimize your future health based on early changes in metabolism, hormones, body composition, cognition, cardiovascular health, and physical performance.
Our proactive approach combines advanced testing, physician-guided care, and sustainable lifestyle changes to help reduce the risk of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer's, heart attack, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. We support healthy aging to mitigate the impacts of inevitable changes to your body, like menopause, muscle atrophy, weight gain, and more. Our goal is not simply to add years to life, but to add life to your years.
Don't spend retirement managing illness. Spend it living the life you've worked so hard to build.

Meet Your Doctor, Scott Russi
I'm Dr. Scott Russi, a physician, retired Air Force Colonel, and former trauma and general surgeon with residency training in both internal medicine and general surgery. In my time caring for critically ill and injured patients in civilian hospitals and combat zones, I witnessed the extraordinary ways modern medicine can save lives.
But despite medical advancement, I saw too many people reaching the end of life wishing they had enjoyed better health along the way. Countless patients declined life-saving operations because years of chronic illness had already taken away the quality of life they valued most.
That realization changed the course of my career. Today, I focus on helping people stay healthy before disease limits their lives.
I'm now certified in BHRT and age management medicine. I'm combining my decades of clinical experience, a passion for personal care, and the latest in medical science to help you preserve your strength, energy, and independence and enjoy the years you've worked so hard to reach.
Our Approach to Maintaining Your Health
Our blend of treatments is driven by modern understandings of how and why you age. Every treatment serves to address one of the below drivers of aging and age-related disease.
Balance Hormones
Hormones are responsible for energy, strength, metabolism, body composition, sleep, mood, and sexual health. As you age, they fluctuate. Physician-guided bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps restore hormonal balance and maintain function and vitality throughout your life.
Keep You Strong
Regular exercise extends your healthspan. Individual exercise programs at Vita Health are developed by our Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, a strength and conditioning coach for the Portland Timbers. Our personalized plans build strength, preserve muscle, improve balance and mobility, and help you stay active, capable, and independent for years to come.
Reduce Glycation
The natural process of sugars binding to proteins, fats, and DNA leads to metabolic dysfunction, stiffness, and accelerated aging. Our therapies slow glycation and minimize its impacts on your health.
Limit Oxidation
Cumulative cellular stress caused by free radicals, inflammation, and environmental exposures can contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired tissue repair, and progressive loss of cellular resilience.
Therapies We Use
We only administer patient-appropriate, clinically studied and proven therapies to help you stay healthier longer.
Bioidentical Hormone Optimization
Our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) uses bioidentical hormones to restore vitality, cognitive clarity, metabolic efficiency, and long-term cardiovascular and neurological health.
Movement Coaching
Maintaining strength and mobility into your later years is key to continuing to enjoy life. Our in-house certified strength and conditioning specialist, Ian Russi, will develop a strength and movement regimine just for you that goes beyond simple cardiovascular exercise.
Nutritional Support
We don't prescribe complicated diets or rigid meal plans. Instead, we provide practical guidance built around real food: if you can hunt it, fish it, pick it, or pluck it, it belongs on your plate. We encourage patients to avoid ultra-processed foods, vegetable oils, and packaged products that come in wrappers, bags, or boxes. Our approach emphasizes healthy proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrate awareness.
IV Therapy
Our physician-guided IV treatments build on the work achieved through BHRT, movement coaching, and nutritional support. Patient-appropriate IV delivery of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients can support hydration, recovery, energy, and overall wellness. IV therapy is available with the Vita Health program or standalone.
Red Light Therapy
Also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), red light therapy as prescribed at Vita Health is not an aesthetic service, but rather a clinically proven strategy for improving mitochondrial efficiency and recovery.
Hydrogen Therapy
Unlike traditional antioxidant supplements, which can become less productive in excessive amounts, hydrogen therapy has been shown to support recovery and metabolic function.
Methylene Blue (MB)
We use carefully controlled, low-dosage, clinically studied Methylene Blue therapy in appropriate patients as a supplement to BHRT, movement coaching, and nutritional support to further support cognitive and mitochondrial resilience.
