Meet the Minneapolis Longevity Medicine Team

Pioneers in precision medicine and health optimization serving the Twin Cities

Dr. Charles Svendsen

Dr. Charles Svendsen

Founder & Medical Director
• Board-certified General and Bariatric Surgeon
• 24+ years clinical experience, 4,500+ procedures
• MD from University of Minnesota, MBA from Carlson School
• Top Doctor Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine 14 consecutive years
• Licensed in 8 states: MN, IA, WI, ID, MT, GA, WA, FL
• HRT specialist for both men and women
• Longevity medicine pioneer & researcher

After completing my medical degree and MBA, I spent over two decades in clinical practice focusing on metabolic health and chronic disease prevention. I've been recognized as a Top Doctor by Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine for 14 consecutive years. This experience taught me that prevention is far more powerful than intervention.

I witnessed firsthand how comprehensive lifestyle changes could reverse decades of metabolic damage. Patients who committed to evidence-based protocols didn't just lose weight—they reclaimed their energy, reversed diabetes, eliminated sleep apnea, and fundamentally changed their relationship with their bodies.

This led me to longevity medicine. If we could help people after disease had already taken hold, imagine what we could accomplish by intervening earlier with precision diagnostics and personalized protocols. Svendsen Medical represents the future of healthcare: proactive, precise, and measurably effective.

I bring over 30 years of clinical experience, expertise in AI integration, and a track record of peer-reviewed research. I am licensed to practice in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Georgia, Washington, and Florida. I also provide comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for both men and women, including testosterone optimization, estrogen and progesterone therapy, and thyroid optimization. Additionally, I specialize in GLP-1 medications for metabolic optimization and weight management—all physician-supervised and evidence-based.

Most importantly, I bring the conviction that your healthspan should match your lifespan—and we have the tools to make that happen.

Dr. Jen Ahlberg

Dr. Jen Ahlberg, PhD

Exercise Physiology Director
• Exercise Science PhD from Baylor University
• MS in Exercise Physiology & Sports Pedagogy, Baylor University
• Owner of Key Academy
• Co-Owner of CrossFit Edina
• Former Department Head of Personal Training at Lifetime Fitness
• Biomechanics & movement specialist
• Zone 2 & VO₂ max optimization expert
• Performance longevity protocols

My journey in human performance began at Baylor University, where I earned my PhD in Exercise Science. Over the past two decades, I've worked with everyone from Division I athletes pushing the boundaries of human potential to 60-year-olds learning to overhead squat for the first time. This breadth of experience has taught me that movement is medicine, regardless of age or starting point.

At Svendsen Medical, I focus on the exercise science pillars that directly impact longevity: Zone 2 cardiovascular training for metabolic health, strength training to preserve muscle mass and bone density, mobility work to maintain functional movement patterns, and recovery protocols that optimize adaptation.

What excites me most about our approach is the precision. We're not guessing about your fitness—we're measuring your cardiovascular capacity, analyzing your movement patterns with advanced technology, tracking strength gains against age-appropriate standards, and monitoring how your body responds to training. This data-driven approach means every workout, every recovery day, and every progression is optimized for your individual needs.

Whether you're an executive who hasn't exercised in years or an athlete looking to maintain performance as you age, my role is to bridge the gap between exercise science and practical application. Your body's mechanics, scientifically perfected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about precision medicine and our approach

Anti-aging medicine is evidence-based healthcare delivered without the time constraints or administrative limitations of traditional medicine. While your regular doctor has 15 minutes to address immediate concerns, we spend hours analyzing your unique biology, family history, and health goals to create a personalized age optimization plan. We focus on preventing disease decades before it appears, rather than treating it after symptoms develop. This isn't about replacing your primary care physician—it's about going deeper and earlier to optimize your healthspan and extend your prime years.
Insurance covers the bare minimum to avoid lawsuits—not the best interventions for a long, vibrant life. They'll pay for a $100,000 cardiac catheterization after a heart attack, but not the $500 advanced lipid panel that could predict and prevent that heart attack a decade earlier. Our healthcare system is designed to be reactive and treat acute diseases, but it's frankly unconcerned with optimizing your long-term health or athletic performance. The good news is that as a medical practice, HSA funds can often be used to help with costs.
I'm a board-certified General and Bariatric Surgeon with over 24 years of experience and 4,500+ procedures performed. I hold an MD from the University of Minnesota, an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, and have completed advanced training in AI and precision medicine through Stanford University. As the Director of Bariatric Surgery, I've seen firsthand how metabolic dysfunction drives the chronic diseases that kill most Americans. This practice applies that same metabolic expertise upstream—preventing disease rather than treating it surgically.
This is a specialized practice focused on health optimization, not primary care or concierge medicine. While concierge practices offer accessible primary care and executive physicals provide annual screenings, we provide ongoing, data-driven health optimization. We don't treat acute problems or replace your primary physician. Instead, we spend months analyzing your unique health profile, tracking key health markers over time, and creating personalized plans for exercise, nutrition, and supplementation that most practices simply don't have time to provide.
The fee covers a comprehensive, year-long health optimization program including: detailed medical and family history analysis, extensive laboratory evaluations (70+ markers), 2-4 in-depth consultations, ongoing monitoring and protocol adjustments, personalized exercise and nutrition planning, supplement and medication guidance. This secures your place in our boutique practice, ensuring personalized attention and physician-led care. The fee doesn't include external testing (DEXA scans, VO2 max), medications, or supplements.
We track objective health measures, not subjective testimonials. Typical outcomes include: improved cardiovascular fitness within 6 months, reduced inflammation markers, increased lean muscle mass, and hormone levels optimized for your age group. We also see improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, body composition scans, enhanced fitness, and improved sleep quality. Every recommendation must prove itself through measurable data and results.
You're investing in a level of care that doesn't exist in insurance networks. We spend hours analyzing your data, curating protocols, and monitoring progress personally. The tools we use—full-body DEXA, VO2 max, advanced lipid panels—aren't offered in standard care. More importantly, our strategy is different: we aim to delay disease by a decade or more while maintaining peak function. At the end of life, no amount of money replaces the value of an additional year of independence and vitality.
Unlike typical 7-15 minute medical visits, our sessions are unhurried and deeply personalized. Initial consultations last 60-90 minutes, follow-ups range from 30-60 minutes based on complexity. I personally review every data point, lab result, and trend over time. You'll never feel rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a chart. This boutique model ensures I can provide the attention comprehensive health optimization requires.
Absolutely. Some of our best outcomes come from patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s looking to stay well rather than wait for illness. We work extensively with women, especially around body composition, bone density, hormonal transitions, and metabolic resilience. If you're driven, curious, and serious about investing in your healthspan, you're the right fit—regardless of age, gender, or current health status. Prevention is most effective when started before problems develop.
Yes, I provide comprehensive hormone replacement therapy for both men and women. This includes testosterone optimization for men, estrogen and progesterone therapy for women, thyroid optimization, and other hormone balancing protocols. All HRT is physician-supervised, evidence-based, and includes regular monitoring through comprehensive lab work. I've been providing HRT services since 2021 as part of our precision medicine approach to health optimization.
