Healthspan, not just lifespan
Medicine 2.0

Treats disease once it's already there

Reactive. You go to the doctor with symptoms, and then treatment begins. Valuable — but often late.

Medicine 3.0 · Longevity

Prevents it before it begins

Proactive and personal. We measure your risk early, adjust with lifestyle and targeted therapy, and follow up with data.

Eight domains

We tackle the biggest causes of disease and decline

Cardiovascular

Preventing heart attack, heart failure and vascular disease.

Neurodegeneration

Slowing dementia and cognitive decline.

Cancer

Early detection, before metastasis.

Metabolic

Preventing diabetes and metabolic dysfunction.

Immune & infection

Infection prevention and immune balance.

Musculoskeletal

Osteoporosis, sarcopenia and cartilage.

Mental health

Stress, sleep and quality of life.

Fall prevention

Strength and balance against accidents.

The programme

Three-month blocks, with clear goals

We start with a thorough questionnaire and baseline measurement, then work in a targeted way — one system per block.

Block 01

Heart & movement

Cardiovascular risk and musculoskeletal health.

Block 02

Immune & metabolic

Immune system and metabolic health.

Block 03

Brain

Neurodegeneration and cognitive health.

Block 04

Cancer risk

Screening and early detection.

What we measure

Data, not guesswork

apoB & lipids

Atherosclerosis risk, target below the 5th percentile.

Blood pressure

Intensive control toward < 120 mmHg (SPRINT).

VO₂max & fitness

Cardiorespiratory fitness, a strong predictor of lifespan.

Glucose (CGM)

Continuous glucose monitoring and insulin sensitivity.

Imaging

Full-body MRI and targeted screening for early detection.

Hormones & sleep

Endocrine balance, sleep quality and HRV stress measurement.

Follow-up with home monitoring: blood pressure monitor, scale, sleep and activity tracker.
