Bliss MD Functional Medicine & Longevity Clinic is one of the only physician-led longevity and regenerative medicine practices in the Chicago area, serving patients from two locations: Lincoln Park in Chicago and Hanover Park, Illinois. Led by Dr. Anand Thakkar, MD — board-certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) — the practice combines root-cause functional medicine with the most advanced longevity protocols available in Illinois. Patients across Chicagoland travel to Bliss MD for answers they could not find elsewhere, including physician-prescribed Rapamycin, biological age testing, EBOO ozone therapy, bioidentical hormone optimization, and IV NAD+. The clinic has been featured on FOX 32 Chicago, ABC Chicago, CBS News Chicago, and USA Today for its innovative approach to personalized longevity care.

About the Practice

Dr. Anand Thakkar, MD built Bliss MD around a philosophy that most physicians never adopt: treat the root cause, not the symptom, and use every precision tool available to reverse biological aging alongside chronic disease. Board-certified in Internal Medicine and in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (A4M), Dr. Thakkar brings over a decade of expertise in longevity and regenerative protocols to his patients in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood and the northwest suburbs. His approach integrates cutting-edge diagnostics — including TruDiagnostic DunedinPACE epigenetic biological age testing — with personalized treatment plans spanning hormone optimization, gut health, ozone therapy, and physician-prescribed Rapamycin. Bliss MD serves patients not only from Chicago but from Naperville, Barrington, Schaumburg, Lakeview, West Loop, and communities across northern Illinois, and offers virtual consultations for patients unable to visit in person.
