Dr. Ruthie Harper has been one of Austin, Texas's leading functional medicine and longevity physicians since opening her internationally recognized practice in 1999. With over two decades of clinical experience and more than 10,000 patient consultations, Dr. Harper bridges evidence-based medicine with advanced functional, regenerative, and aesthetic therapies — creating individualized programs that address the root causes of disease rather than masking symptoms. After a decade practicing emergency medicine, she transitioned her focus to preventive and longevity care, recognizing the need for a more comprehensive, whole-person approach to chronic disease, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and age-related decline. Dr. Harper is the author of the upcoming book The Perimenopause Secret and an active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).
