At a Glance

Brett Markowitz founded AgeRejuvenation in 2006 as a small fitness and wellness concept, and the practice was known for a period as Tampa Rejuvenation. Twenty years later, it is a physician-led practice with five Florida clinics in South Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Winter Garden, and Orlando. Most first visits now include a focused exam, lab work, and an InBody body-composition scan, so your provider has real data before suggesting next steps.

AgeRejuvenation began in 2006 as a small fitness and wellness concept founded by Brett Markowitz. Twenty years later, we have five Florida clinics and a much broader clinical model that includes diagnostics, hormone health, weight management, recovery, and longevity-focused services, plus nationwide telehealth where available.

Along the way, the practice was known as Tampa Rejuvenation before the AgeRejuvenation name took shape. Here is how the practice has changed, what a visit looks like now, and what still guides our care as we enter a third decade.

Celebrating 20 Years of Growth and Patient Care

The milestone marks 20 years since our beginnings in 2006. During that time, the practice developed from a fitness and wellness concept into a physician-led longevity and preventive health organization.

Today we serve Tampa Bay and Central Florida through our five Florida clinics in South Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Winter Garden, and Orlando. Care is overseen by Chief Medical Director Dr. Dawn Ericsson, MD, alongside our clinical team.

The Tampa Rejuvenation years are part of that story, and so is the current name. You can read more about the story behind our practice on our About page.

The growth was not limited to new locations. It also changed what patients can address within the same clinical network and how much information providers can bring into an evaluation.

How the Clinical Approach Has Evolved

The biggest shift is the scope of the clinical model. As AgeRejuvenation grew, we added functional medicine, hormone health, medical weight management, diagnostics, recovery, sexual wellness, aesthetics, and longevity-focused care. That gives you more ways to address changing health concerns within a connected medical setting.

Today that range includes hormone replacement therapy for women, testosterone replacement therapy for men, medical weight loss, and provider-guided peptide therapy.

This broader view also reflects a larger idea in health care. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes whole person health as looking at the whole person, not just separate organs or body systems, and considering biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors together.

In practice, that means your symptoms, history, lab findings, lifestyle, and goals can all add context. The next step still depends on what is medically appropriate for you.

The Patient Experience Today

If you visit today, the process starts with a closer look at your current concerns, history, and measurable health data. Most first visits include listening, a focused exam, lab work, and an InBody body-composition scan.

That gives the provider more context before discussing which next steps may be appropriate.

Our wellness center services are one example of how the range of options has expanded. Depending on your needs and clinical evaluation, services may include IV therapy, NAD+ therapy, hydrogen therapy, red light therapy, and other wellness or recovery options under provider guidance.

This context becomes useful as your health changes over time. MedlinePlus notes that hormone levels and the way some tissues respond to hormones can change with age. That is one reason changes in energy, body composition, or sexual health deserve an individual evaluation before anyone puts them down to age alone.

The Role of Labs and Body Composition Data

Lab results and body-composition measurements can help providers see patterns that symptoms alone may not explain. They do not provide every answer by themselves, but they can add objective information to your medical history, current concerns, and physical exam.

Body composition can also shift over time. MedlinePlus explains that people tend to lose lean tissue after age 30 while body fat rises steadily, and that lifestyle choices may slow or speed the process. Tracking this information can help your provider interpret what is happening in your specific case.

Thank You for 20 Years

We marked the milestone with a 20th birthday celebration, a chance to say thank you to the people who have been part of the practice along the way.

AgeRejuvenation's 20th anniversary is also a chance to reflect on how the practice has grown while staying focused on personalized, medically guided care. Over two decades, that has meant continuing to refine how we evaluate patients, connect different areas of health, and support long-term wellness goals.

The milestone also gives us an opportunity to thank the patients who have trusted us with their care and the communities we serve across Florida. As we move into the next chapter, the focus remains on helping patients make informed decisions about their health with the support of an experienced clinical team.

What This 20-Year Milestone Represents

Twenty years of change can be seen in our network, our services, and the clinical information we bring into a visit. For you, that means more ways to explore concerns such as energy, weight, hormones, recovery, or healthy aging within a broader health picture.

Twenty years into AgeRejuvenation's story, we are still building around that idea. Our five Florida clinics, along with nationwide telehealth where available, make more services accessible, while the anniversary gives us a chance to recognize the patients and communities that helped shape the practice.

As we enter our third decade, the focus remains on thoughtful evaluation, appropriate medical supervision, and helping you make informed decisions about your health. To schedule a visit at any of our clinics, call 888-681-6521.
