Credentials & Licensure
A Physician Who Believes Medicine Should Empower, Not Just Treat
Dr. James Lawrenzi, MD is the founder and medical director of AgeWell Vitality, a physician-owned telehealth practice dedicated to helping adults — especially those over 50 — feel and function at their best through evidence-informed peptide therapy.
Licensed to practice medicine in both Missouri and Kansas, Dr. Lawrenzi brings a rare combination of clinical rigor and genuine patient-centered care to the field of longevity medicine. He founded AgeWell Vitality because he recognized a significant gap: patients were aging and experiencing declining vitality, yet conventional medicine offered few solutions beyond managing symptoms.
Dr. Lawrenzi's approach is deeply personalized. He personally reviews every patient's lab results before their initial consultation, and he designs each peptide protocol based on the individual's unique biology, health history, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all template.
His focus on peptide therapy stems from years of studying the emerging science of bioregulatory medicine. The seven peptides in the AgeWell Vitality formulary were selected specifically for their safety profiles and documented efficacy in older adults — a population that has been historically underserved by conventional anti-aging approaches.
"I started AgeWell Vitality because I believe the best years of your life don't have to be behind you," Dr. Lawrenzi says. "With the right tools, the right protocol, and the right physician in your corner, you can feel genuinely better — not just less bad."
