Midlife Medicine for People Who Are Just Warming Up

About The Doctor

Jake Shank, MD

My Journey: From the ER to Midlife Medicine

I’m a board-certified emergency medicine physician, and I spent 15 years in the ER (trained at Tulane and in Las Vegas). That career taught me how to handle any crisis. It also showed me how many of them could have been prevented, which is why my focus has shifted to prevention and longevity.

My personal turning point came while supporting my wife, Jenny, through perimenopause. Watching her search for good answers showed me how much midlife women’s health had been underfunded and under-studied, and it became my mission to provide equitable, evidence-based care for people navigating midlife and beyond.

To ensure I deliver the most informed care, I have pursued advanced training across multiple fields:

  • Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP): Specializing in midlife women’s health.

    Licensed O-Shot® Provider: Trained in the O-Shot® protocol.

  • Sexual Health & Performance Medicine: Focused on optimizing vitality and function.

  • Longevity Medicine: Strategies for long-term health and wellness.

  • Regenerative Procedures: Offering targeted, supportive treatments.

My goal is to deliver deeply personal, practical care—without the fluff, lectures, or one-size-fits-all approach. I offer good medicine and real conversations to help you thrive in every chapter of life.

Our Philosophy

Sexual health isn’t a luxury. It’s a window into your whole health.

Sexual health isn’t a luxury. It’s a window into your whole health.

When something’s off below the belt, it’s rarely only below the belt. Low desire can be the first sign of a thyroid problem. Painful sex and bladder leaks often share a cause. Erectile dysfunction can show up years before heart disease.

That’s why we treat sexual health as a window into total-body health, and why the plan we build with you goes beyond the symptom you walked in with.
