Hi, I'm Dr. Rick Cohen, MD!

Whether that means pursuing new passions or continuing to excel in the activities you love, offers you the chance to do it all and truly savor every moment.
My journey has been a fascinating blend of medicine, engineering, and love for sport. I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University, followed by earning my medical degree from Drexel University. Soon after, I also was given the opportunity to compete in the 1986 Winter Olympic Games in luge.
More recently, I'm the Founder and CEO of PureClean Performance, where we focus on cutting-edge technologies and nutrition to boost athletic performance and health. Additionally, I founded Ignite Longevity to explore how mTOR autophagy, anabolic phases, and mitochondrial efficiency can impact human healthspan and lifespan. Through Quantum Longevity, a global technology consortium I also established, I'm even working to solve the challenges aging and finding ways to help slow and stop them.
With over 35 years of experience, I've helped thousands of my patients reach their health goals along with numerous Olympic and professional athletes reach peak performance, too. I feel my work continues to push the boundaries of medicine, health and longevity, and sports science in ways where no one has gone before!
In great health,
