Dr. Carlos Diaz

Board-Certified Physiatrist, Data-Driven Longevity Strategist

If you live in Sarasota and you’re serious about keeping the same body you had at 30 — or getting it back — you’ve probably already heard of Dr. Carlos Diaz.

For the past quarter-century, he has taken flipped the old-school physical medicine stereotype on its head, and replaced it with science-backed performance medicine delivered with the warmth of a next-door neighbor. He’s our resident muscle-mechanic and pain-whisperer, and he refuses to accept that “you’re just getting older” is a diagnosis.

Specialties & Passions

Under the quiet confidence sits 27 years of skeletal-muscular mastery and a laser-like focus on helping people get and stay pain-free.

When he’s not calibrating spine mechanics, you’ll find Dr. Diaz logging early-morning beach runs, tinkering with wearables data (yes, he really reads the dashboards), or guest-hosting our upcoming podcast to debunk the latest wellness fads.

Mechanical Mastery 

Dr. Diaz approaches the human body like a high-performance machine — optimize the chassis, upgrade the engine, and monitor every sensor.

Inclusive & Approachable

Fluent in English and Spanish, comfortable on camera, and eager to educate everyone from competitive triathletes to those who are differently-abled about cutting-edge longevity health.

Quiet Charisma

Not the loudest voice in the room, but known for his clarity, courtesy, and a talent for turning complex biochemistry into action steps.
