TELOMERE LENGTH EVALUATION
ur society is currently experiencing a sharp increase in complex chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmune disorders – and facing these challenges requires a new way of looking at medicine. Longevity is about being proactive and making the right choices today, for your health and happiness tomorrow, choices that we build upon 5 key pillars; medicine that is Preventive, Personalised, Holistic, Integrative and Regenerative. PREVENTIVE Failure to prevent future health problems is a critical flaw with current medical thinking - something Longevity was designed to avoid. While virtually every complex, chronic disease is preceded by long-term warning signs, conventional medicine focuses purely on acute care, on diagnosing short-term symptoms or traumas and applying specific, prescribed drugs or surgeries to treat the immediate problem. In contrast, we want to treat complex, chronic diseases before they occur. This means taking into account an individual’s unique genetic makeup as well as the influence their modern lifestyle has upon them, looking at the underlying causes of disease and providing the nutrition, diet, detox and exercise strategies and regenerative therapies to not only heal – but essentially to prevent.

We find telomeres in the chromosomes of all living creatures, they are protective caps that help to regulate cell ageing. They play a major role in how we age – and also in the development of virtually all aging-related diseases. Measuring their length can provide an accurate indication of cellular ageing, which we can use to help prevent or delay diseases such as cardiovascular diseases or cancer.
