About

Dr. Sarah Matheson, MD is a board-certified internist with 18 years of clinical experience in general internal medicine and preventive care. She completed her medical degree and residency training in internal medicine, with additional fellowship training in preventive medicine. Dr. Matheson specializes in healthy aging, cardiovascular risk reduction, and evidence-based preventive health strategies for adults over 40.

At Health Beyond Age, Dr. Matheson serves as Lead Medical Reviewer, overseeing the accuracy and clinical appropriateness of all published health content. She reviews every article before publication to ensure it reflects current medical consensus and is appropriately cautious where evidence is limited.

I review content at Health Beyond Age with the same standard I apply in the clinic — if I would not say it to a patient, it does not go on the page. Accuracy is not optional in health information.
