Shawnee Starr founded Longevity Care Clinic after learning firsthand what it feels like to be doing everything “right” — and still feel completely lost in the healthcare system.
Her journey into longevity medicine did not begin as a professional pursuit.
It began as a fight for her life.
A Turning Point
After a prolonged period of intense stress, divorce, financial strain, and isolation, Shawnee was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. She was frightened, overwhelmed, and acutely aware that while her diagnosis was clear, the why behind it was not.
Standard medical care explained what was happening — but not what may have contributed to it, nor how to reduce the risk of recurrence beyond conventional treatment.
That unanswered question became the catalyst for everything that followed.
From Fear to Understanding
Driven by a deep need for answers, Shawnee immersed herself in research, functional testing, and out-of-network consultations. She invested in advanced diagnostics that examined hormones, genetics, detoxification pathways, nutritional absorption, and gut health — areas that had never been explored in her traditional care.
What she uncovered was eye-opening:
- Significant toxic burden
- Hormonal imbalance and chronic stress response
- Impaired nutrient absorption
- Inflammation driven by gut dysfunction and food sensitivities
For the first time, her body began to make sense.
But understanding the data was only half the challenge.
The Real Work: Integration
What followed was not a quick fix — but a thoughtful, disciplined process of implementation.
Shawnee assembled a team, created a plan, adjusted her lifestyle, and applied what she learned consistently. Over time, her biomarkers improved. Her inflammation reduced. Her energy returned. Her confidence grew.
Today, she maintains regular monitoring and is grateful to share that she has zero circulating tumor cells — and feels better, stronger, and more resilient than ever.
Why Longevity Exists
As the co-founder and CEO of TechWise, Shawnee had spent years building systems, leading teams, and solving complex problems. What she experienced during her healing journey was not a lack of information — but a lack of integration.
Longevity Care Clinic was created to bridge that gap.
It exists so people don’t have to:
- piece together their health alone
- interpret complex data without guidance
- guess which step matters most
- or feel dismissed when something feels off
Shawnee meets with patients who are serious about learning, understanding, and participating in their health — not out of fear, but empowerment.
Her Philosophy
Shawnee believes that healing accelerates when people:
- feel seen and supported
- understand their biology
- have a clear strategy
- and are surrounded by a community that reinforces health rather than depletes it
Her work is rooted in mentorship, education, and compassion — helping others turn overwhelm into clarity, and effort into sustainable change.
Cancer did not define Shawnee — but it redirected her.
It gave her a new focus, a deeper purpose, and a conviction she now shares freely:
You are worth understanding.
You are worth investing in.
And your body is capable of more than you’ve been told.
