What a longevity clinic actually does
Conventional medicine is built to treat disease once it exists. Longevity medicine works one step earlier: it quantifies your trajectory across the four drivers of early mortality — cardiovascular, metabolic, oncological and neurodegenerative — and intervenes while the underlying processes are still reversible.
In practice that means measuring markers most check-ups skip: ApoB and Lp(a) rather than total cholesterol alone, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR rather than glucose alone, hs-CRP, homocysteine, full thyroid and sex hormone panels, micronutrients, body composition, resting metabolic rate and epigenetic age.
