Juana Sofia Recabarren, MD, ABAARM

Dr. Juana Sofia Recabarren Velarde, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician (ABIM) and Diplomate of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM), with over 20 years of clinical experience — including 15+ years in physician executive leadership (Regional Medical Director, Associate CMO, Chief Medical Officer) — and 12+ years of specialized training in longevity, functional, and precision-nutrition medicine through A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), IFM (Institute for Functional Medicine), and Cornell University. She is the founder of Longevity by Dr. Sofia, a Florida-licensed, virtual, physician-led practice for women navigating midlife and beyond. Too many women are told their labs are "normal" while still struggling with fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, and hormonal shifts — her practice is built to integrate the scientific rigor of internal medicine with the depth of functional and longevity medicine to address the underlying drivers of symptoms and chronic disease, with the goal of restoring optimal function over time. Care may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), advanced biomarker and metabolic analysis, and personalized nutrition, always guided by ongoing physician oversight. Dr. Sofia approaches each individual as a whole, interconnected system, carefully considering genetics, metabolism, nutrition, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and mental-emotional health. This allows care to be personalized, data-informed, and designed to evolve as health priorities and life stages change — supporting disease prevention, optimal function, and peakspan. Her perspective is also personal: after facing her own aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, she experienced firsthand how root-cause, whole-person medicine supports both healing and long-term vitality. Dr. Sofia welcomes collaboration with referring physicians, specialty labs, compounding pharmacies, and wellness companies aligned with an evidence-based approach to women's longevity care.
