Ruth Harper, MD

Dr. Ruthie Harper is a board-certified physician, functional and precision medicine expert, and longevity specialist with more than two decades of clinical experience helping patients optimize health, performance, appearance, and quality of life. After spending more than ten years practicing emergency medicine, she transitioned her focus toward root-cause, preventive healthcare, recognizing the need for a more comprehensive approach to chronic disease, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and age-related decline.

Dr. Harper is the founder of Ruthie Harper MD, a practice dedicated to integrating evidence-based traditional medicine with advanced functional, regenerative, longevity, and aesthetic therapies. Her clinical approach focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of illness while helping patients improve energy, cognitive function, body composition, metabolic health, hormonal balance, skin health, and overall vitality.

She works with both men and women and has extensive experience in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, thyroid optimization, adrenal health, metabolic medicine, gut health, nutraceuticals, peptide therapies, and precision lifestyle interventions. Through advanced diagnostic testing and highly individualized treatment plans, she helps patients improve healthspan, reduce disease risk, and achieve long-term wellness.

In addition to her functional medicine practice, Dr. Harper has significant experience in aesthetic and regenerative medicine. She believes that healthy aging involves both internal physiologic wellness and outward vitality, integrating therapies focused on skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, regenerative procedures, injectables, body composition optimization, and age-management strategies that help patients look and feel their best throughout life.

Dr. Harper has a particular interest in longevity medicine and the evolving science of healthy aging, including cognitive preservation, cardiovascular protection, metabolic resilience, inflammation reduction, muscle preservation, and disease prevention. She believes many age-related conditions can be delayed—or even prevented—through early intervention, targeted therapies, nutrition, exercise, hormone optimization, and precision-based medical care.

She is also the author of the upcoming book The Perimenopause Secret, which explores the relationship between hormonal transitions, aging, and long-term health outcomes. The book emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing hormonal decline during perimenopause to protect brain, heart, bone, metabolic, and overall health before menopause occurs.

Through her clinical practice, educational initiatives, and professional collaborations, Dr. Harper remains committed to advancing awareness of functional, regenerative, and longevity medicine while helping patients achieve healthier, more vibrant lives through personalized, science-driven care.
