3 predictors of longevity

As longevity medicine providers, there are 3 key predictors that can significantly impact how long and well you live.

 

Body Weight & Muscle Mass

Get to your ideal body weight and ideal muscle mass. By doing this, you enhance your metabolism, improve your metabolic health, support your joints and reduce your risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, reaching your ideal muscle mass helps keep you healthy and active into old age, improving your independence and ability to keep doing what you want to do longer.

 

That’s why Phases I and II of our program focus on getting to your ideal body weight and building muscle mass. It includes glucose monitoring, bloodwork, supplements, GLP-1 medications for some patients, focusing on protein, tracking macronutrients and committing to a workout routine that focuses on strength training.

 

Genetics

You can’t change your genetic makeup, but you can find out a considerable amount about your genetics and predisposition for disease through testing like a Whole Body MRI and an early cancer detection blood test. And because your genetics don’t change, you only have to do these tests once. The tests are early predictors of many diseases, and know your risk factor changes the way we consider testing in the future. 

 

Social Connections

It’s been well-studied that having strong connections contributes to longevity. That means good relationships with your family and friends, people in your life who you look forward to seeing. If this is an area you wish to improve, it’s as simple as sending a text or making a phone call, scheduling a coffee or dinner and start the process of reconnecting. It makes a big difference in your long-term health.
