‍Essential Longevity Check-up - Your First Step Towards a Longer, Healthier Life

Understanding your health is the first step towards maintaining it long term. Our Essential Longevity Check-up provides you with a scientifically grounded overview of your current biological health status and shows you where you can take targeted action to improve your health, performance, and longevity. In this blog, we’ll guide you step by step through the check-up process.

‍

How, Where, and When

The entire check-up takes approximately 4 hours and takes place at our clinic at Uraniastrasse 18, 8001 Zurich. As some parts of the check-up, such as the body composition scan, need to be performed on an empty stomach, all check-ups take place in the morning. You can choose if you would like to start at 8:00, 9:15, or 10:30 a.m. As soon as you arrive, we'll start your longevity morning.

‍

Step 1: Medical Consultation

Together with our physician, you’ll discuss your medical history, current lifestyle habits, sleep, nutrition, and mental stress. This conversation lays the foundation for your check-up. It helps us understand your current health status and identify areas that may require particular attention. In approximately 30 minutes, we develop an understanding of your individual risk factors and personal lifestyle context.

‍

Step 2: Blood and Genetic Analysis

Next, we’ll take a blood sample for your blood analysis, which includes 19 selected laboratory markers, as well as your genetic panel¹ (single-nucleotide polymorphisms). Your blood results provide insights into the current state of your metabolism, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance. The genetic analysis, meanwhile, provides information about potential long-term risks, such as how your body processes fats, responds to certain toxins, or regulates inflammation, and which areas may require additional support. The result is an individual risk profile that goes well beyond a standard health check-up.

‍

Step 3: Cardiovascular Assessment

Your heart is at the centre of your health. Using a resting ECG, we assess the electrical activity and rhythm of your heart to help identify potential irregularities at an early stage. Blood pressure measurement provides insights into the pressure within your blood vessels and helps identify potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease early.

‍

Step 4: Body Composition

Using state-of-the-art scanning technology², we precisely measure your muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density. We compare these values with reference data from large-scale studies. By comparing your results with those of people in your age group, we can see exactly where you currently stand. This allows us to then identify areas where targeted action can help you stay strong and mobile in the long term.

‍

Short Break

Time to relax for a moment. You can have a drink and a snack, giving you a chance to catch your breath and reflect on the impressions you’ve gained so far.

‍

Step 5: Performance Assessment

Now it’s time for the most active part of your check-up.

1. The grip strength test³ measures the strength of the muscles in your forearms, which is one of the most reliable indicators of overall physical health.
2. The VO₂max test⁴ takes place on a stationary bicycle. Over the course of 10-15 minutes, we gradually increase the intensity until you reach your exercise limit. The results show us how efficiently your body uses oxygen, providing an important measure of your cardiovascular fitness and longevity.

And that’s it! If you’d like, you can enjoy a refreshing rainforest shower or head straight home. The check-up itself is now complete. We’ll now send your blood samples to the laboratory, have your genetic panel analysed, and evaluate your results. As soon they are available, we’ll get in touch to discuss the findings with you. Laboratory analysis usually takes four to five weeks.

‍

Step 6: Medical follow-up

All your data is evaluated by our interdisciplinary team. During a one-hour consultation, you’ll review your report together with our physician. You’ll receive clear, prioritised recommendations covering nutrition, exercise, mental wellbeing, stress management, sleep, supplementation, and potential treatments. Everything is fully tailored to your individual needs and based on the data and findings from your check-up.

‍

Afterwards: Your Personalised Longevity Report

Following your consultation, you’ll receive your personal Longevity Report⁵ - a detailed yet easy-to-understand analysis of your biological health status. It shows:

1. Where your body currently stands.
2. Which systems may need additional support.
3. Which specific measures strengthen your health the most and improve your overall wellbeing.

All the measurements we’ve taken are included in your report, along with reference values for comparison. The personalised recommendations from your medical follow-up are also explained in detail.

‍

Why the Essential Check-up Is the Perfect Starting Point

1. You gain a comprehensive picture of your health - objective, data-driven, and scientifically grounded.
2. You understand which lifestyle habits and risk factors actually affect your body.
3. You get the tools to proactively work on your longevity - rather than simply reacting to health problems.

This check-up is designed for people who take responsibility for their health but don’t want to rely on guesswork.
