Integrative Medicine in NYC
Concierge Integrative Wellness in NYC
Wellness today is more than the absence of disease—it’s the proactive cultivation of vitality, resilience, and long-term healthspan. At his discreet Upper East Side office across from Central Park, Dr. Ronald Primas delivers a physician-led, integrative approach to wellness rooted in functional medicine, elite diagnostics, and personalized strategy.
Board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine, Dr. Primas brings over three decades of experience bridging conventional diagnostics with advanced lifestyle and longevity strategies.
From metabolic performance and mitochondrial support to biologic age deceleration and mind-body optimization, each program is customized through data-driven insight, genomic context, and clinical precision.
The Pillars of Intelligent Integrative Wellness
Metabolic Optimization & Body Composition Management
Body composition is a key biomarker of metabolic integrity, hormonal health, and mitochondrial performance. At our practice, weight is addressed with compassion and clinical accuracy, never judgment.
We utilize the SECA mBCA 554 Body Composition Analyzer to assess:
- Visceral fat burden
- Skeletal muscle mass and lean tissue reserves
- Phase angle (a marker of cellular vitality)
- Hydration and intracellular fluid status
Your integrative plan may include:
- Precision-guided use of GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Zepbound™, Mounjaro®, Wegovy®) when appropriate
- Functional hormone assessments (insulin, leptin, cortisol, thyroid, testosterone)
- Mitochondrial support and personalized exercise prescriptions
- Time-restricted eating and fasting-mimicking protocols
- Access to curated nutrition, fitness, and psychological resources as needed
Whether you’re exploring subtle recomposition or clinically guided GLP-1 support, Dr. Primas provides structured, human-centered care with measurable results.
Exercise Prescription: Movement as Medicine
Physical activity is essential, but not all movement is therapeutically equal. Dr. Primas designs personalized exercise prescriptions based on your cardiovascular fitness, HRV, bone density, genomic insights, and longevity goals.
Plans may include:
- 3x/week progressive strength training (sarcopenia prevention)
- 1x/week HIIT (VO₂ max, mitochondrial resilience)
- 1x/week Zone 2 training (fat oxidation, aerobic base)
- 1x/week mobility + balance (neuromuscular preservation)
- 1x/week joyful or social movement (e.g., martial arts, tennis, dance)
We collaborate with world-class strength coaches, physiologists, and integrative movement experts for targeted referrals.
Sleep Optimization & Circadian Alignment
Restorative sleep is foundational for immune resilience, hormone balance, and cellular repair. Dr. Primas evaluates your sleep architecture, circadian rhythms, and nighttime recovery using lifestyle data, biometrics, and wearables.
Recommendations may include:
- Circadian-aligned lighting and smart home sleep tools
- Time-restricted eating to support nocturnal GH/melatonin surge
- Low-dose melatonin, magnesium threonate, or herbal adaptogens
- Weighted blankets, cooling devices, and guided relaxation
- Sleep tracking integration (e.g., Oura, Eight Sleep, Biostrap)
SonicWall Netextender
Just as concierge integrative wellness blends advanced diagnostics with personalized care, SonicWall NetExtender provides secure, seamless digital access that supports this modern approach to healthcare. In Dr. Ronald Primas’s NYC practice, precision insights and elite strategies depend on the safe exchange of sensitive health and genomic data. SonicWall NetExtender ensures that this information is protected through encrypted remote connections, giving both patients and providers confidence that wellness strategies remain private and uncompromised. With its user-friendly design and strong security protocols, NetExtender makes it possible to extend care beyond the office, enabling secure access to personalized health plans, lab results, and integrative wellness resources anytime, anywhere. Just as true wellness goes beyond simply avoiding illness, true digital wellness means protecting the integrity of your data and the trust between doctor and patient. SonicWall NetExtender helps create that foundation, where advanced medicine and modern technology work together to optimize longevity and vitality.
Nutrition & Supplementation: Personalized Fueling
Dr. Primas applies a functional, ancestral lens to modern nutrition, crafting anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense, seasonal plans based on your labs, DNA, and metabolic needs.
Your strategy may include:
- Plant-forward, whole-food foundation with seasonal, nutrient-dense proteins
- Fasting-mimicking cycles and circadian eating alignment
- Genomics-informed supplementation (e.g., detox, methylation)
- Targeted hydration, electrolyte, and micronutrient strategies
All nutritional counseling is delivered directly by Dr. Primas. For culinary execution, we refer to vetted wellness chefs, nutritionists, and delivery programs.
Stress Recovery & Resilience Building
Chronic stress impairs every domain of wellness. Using HRV, cortisol trends, and vagal tone analysis, Dr. Primas builds actionable recovery protocols that restore parasympathetic tone and enhance emotional resilience.
Tools may include:
- HeartMath™ coherence training
- Qigong, Tai Chi, or restorative yoga referrals
- Thermal therapies (sauna, cold exposure)
- Adaptogenic botanicals and nervous system support
- Nature exposure and biofeedback-based parasympathetic retraining
All modalities are curated for safety, synergy, and alignment with your overall integrative plan.
Bio-Optimization & Modern Therapeutics
We selectively incorporate tools from the evolving biohacking world—prioritizing those with clinical relevance and scientific merit.
Examples include:
- Red light therapy protocols (photobiomodulation)
- Biological age testing (e.g., DunedinPACE, telomere length)
- VO₂ max + pulse wave velocity (cardiovascular age)
- Senolytics, mitochondrial therapeutics, NAD+ cycling
- Sleep, recovery, and fasting integration
External referrals: cryotherapy, HBOT, neurofeedback, contrast therapy.
Biological Age Deceleration & Healthy Aging
Aging is inevitable, but the rate is malleable. Our strategy targets root drivers of biological aging using:
- Epigenetic clocks and telomere metrics
- mTOR modulation, metabolic switching, autophagy
- Hormone optimization (testosterone, thyroid, DHEA)
- Anti-inflammatory nutritional cycles and longevity fasting
- Cognitive preservation and neuroinflammation reduction
- Mitochondrial biogenesis and AMPK activation
*We use the term “age deceleration” intentionally—until full reversal becomes safely viable.*
