Diagnostics

There is a fashion in longevity medicine for enormous panels — hundreds of markers, a thick report, and a patient left to interpret a wall of numbers they were never given a reason for. It photographs beautifully. It is also, mostly, noise: measure enough things and something will come back flagged, and now you have a worry rather than an answer.

We take the opposite approach. Your assessment tells us what questions are actually open for you. Diagnostics answer those questions, and your doctor explains what the answers mean — including when the answer is reassuring.

What we typically look at

• Bloodwork — metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, hormonal and nutritional markers, chosen according to your history
• Body composition — muscle, fat and distribution, which tell you far more than weight does
• Cardiovascular measures — blood pressure and the clinical baseline, taken properly rather than estimated
• Respiratory function — our Medical Director is a pulmonologist, and lung function is a genuine and underused marker of long-term health
• Metabolic response — where a single morning’s blood test is not enough, Compass™ follows fourteen days of it

Referral, where it is right

Imaging and specialist investigations are arranged through our partners when your doctor judges them warranted. If a test is better done elsewhere, we will tell you that too.
