The American healthcare system is often a maze of insurance policies, long wait times, and frustrating bureaucracies. But what if there was a better way—one that put patients first, eliminated co-pays and provided VIP-level care at an affordable price? Enter Long Life Med, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic in Las Vegas that is revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered.
At the helm of this movement are David Linton, NP, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, and Kezia Badulid, CFO and operations director. Their mission? To make high-quality healthcare accessible, affordable, and efficient for individuals, families, and even small businesses.
The Power of Direct Primary Care
The concept behind Direct Primary Care (DPC) is simple but transformative:
- Same-day or next-day appointments
- Comprehensive, patient-centered care
Unlike traditional insurance-based practices, where physicians juggle thousands of patients, Long Life Med caps its membership at just 300 patients per provider. This allows 30 to 120-minute consultations instead of rushed 10-minute visits. The result? Stronger doctor-patient relationships, proactive care, and better health outcomes.
For as little as $100 per month, DPC members receive unlimited visits, comprehensive annual physicals, essential lab tests, wholesale discounts on imaging, and additional labs, medications, and supplements — often cheaper than Walmart or Costco.
All this is combined with a concentration on longevity and anti-aging medicine.
At Long Life Med, “We harness the latest breakthroughs in biology and cellular medicine to boost our patient’s health and well-being from the cellular level up. Over the past decade, advances in diagnostics, treatments, and medications have transformed healthcare. Unlike traditional healthcare, we provide these state-of-the-art options —all designed to elevate your longevity, and frequently at no additional cost to our patients. To me, that is just one game changer we offer to our patients.” Says David Linton, Medical Director and Founder.
A Game-Changer for Small Businesses
For Mom & Pop businesses, providing healthcare to employees is often a financial burden. DPC offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive insurance plans while ensuring that employees get the care they need when they need it.
“Healthcare shouldn’t be a privilege only for those who can afford top-tier insurance. We want to give people —insured or not— access to high-quality medical care without breaking the bank,” says David.
The Journey of David Linton and Kezia Badulid
David’s path to healthcare was unconventional. Originally an organizational psychologist and an HR Manager, he transitioned into nursing after volunteering at a women’s shelter where he found a “visceral level of enjoyment” in having a tangible and direct impact on the lives of others.
As a Nurse Practitioner, his expertise now spans Longevity Medicine, Functional Medicine, Urgent Care, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement (BHRT), and Occupational Health or Workers’ Compensation.
David has also trained other medical professionals at CareNow Urgent Care in Las Vegas for Occupational Health, and is a member of professional organizations such as:
- American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
- American Association of Nurse Practitioners
- Seeds Scientific Research & Performance Medical Institute
- The Menopause Society
His passion for patient advocacy and going above and beyond for his patients (mostly outside of his paid working hours) earned him the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce Customer Service Excellence Award in 2019.
Kezia, on the other hand, brings an impressive background in operations, project management, and data analytics, having worked with both Fortune 100 companies and Silicon Valley tech startups. A longtime community organizer, she received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) in 2015 for helping lead some of the largest Neighborhood Watch programs in the city.
As a Provider in different health settings, including the Las Vegas Jail and the VA Hospital, David saw how frustrating it is for patients to wait weeks to be seen and then rush through 10-minute appointments.
Kezia was also on the receiving end of the system’s failures as a chronic illness patient. Living with chronic Hepatitis B, multiple GastroIntestinal issues, and chronic pain, she experienced long wait times, misdiagnoses, and a constant battle with insurance companies refusing to pay for necessary tests & treatments. At her worst, she was practically bedridden for a year after a wisdom tooth surgery that went wrong leading to a cervical fusion (9 months later!) — a nightmare that left her in chronic pain and unable to work for more than 2 hours without being in pain.
Their shared frustration with corporate-driven healthcare led them to create Long Life Med, ensuring patients get compassionate, personalized care.
Cutting-Edge Medical Innovations
In addition to Direct Primary Care, Long Life Med specializes in Longevity and Functional Medicine, offering:
- Near-Infrared (NIR) & Red Light Therapy – a cutting-edge treatment for pain relief, anti-aging, and cellular regeneration that rejuvenates multiple organ systems and cognitive abilities
- Alma TED Hair Rejuvenation – a revolutionary painless, hair restoration treatment with zero downtime that stops hair loss and increases hair density & vitality, without post-treatment shedding.
- Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) for men and women
- Personalized Medical Weight Loss Programs with multiple GLP-1 options
Recently, Long Life Med achieved two major milestones:
- In-house laboratory license (December 2024) – Allowing rapid, on-site testing for COVID-19, Flu, Strep, RSV, HIV, Syphilis, and more.
- Pharmacy Dispensing License (March 2025) – They just got their license to dispense medications at the clinic, at wholesale rates, passing the savings directly to patients.
“Why should healthcare be complicated? Our goal is simple: to provide quality care that is fast, affordable, and patient-focused,” says Kezia.
Why Long Life Med Stands Out
- Truly Patient-Centric: Unlike traditional clinics, patients at Long Life Med aren’t just numbers. Every visit is thorough, unhurried, and focused on long-term health.
- Exclusive NIR & Red Light Therapy: Long Life Med is the only clinic in Las Vegas offering high-powered, full-body near-infrared and red light therapy for deep tissue healing.
- No-Needle, No-Shedding Hair Restoration: One of the few clinics in Las Vegas offering Alma TED Hair Rejuvenation, a painless and effective solution for hair loss.
Being There When You Need Them
At Long Life Med, patients have around-the-clock availability to a dedicated physician who truly knows you. “We want to be the neighborhood Medical Provider that knows you and is there when you need them —whenever that is, because illness and injury can happen anytime.” says David. Operating practically 24/7 by appointment, Long Life Med adapts to your schedule, offering same- or next-day visits, even on weekends and holidays.
“We can provide the time and attention to each of our member patients because we cap our patient rooster at 300 —only 20% of a typical primary care provider load—to ensure unhurried visits with meaningful conversations about health and wellbeing,” says Kezia Badulid, Operations Director. “Our structure allows us to treat our patients like people and care for them like family…not like just another task to be performed, which is all too common in traditional healthcare.” David adds.
Long Life Med provides this exceptional service with no copays, no deductibles, and affordable monthly fees starting at $100, high-quality care is now accessible to all!
“Healthcare shouldn’t be a privilege only for those who can afford top-tier insurance. We want to give people —insured or not— access to high-quality medical care without breaking the bank,” says Kezia.
