What is longevity medicine?

Longevity medicine is a new and rapidly evolving medical speciality focused on extending the human lifespan and health span - the period during which we remain healthy, active, and free from serious illness, thus improving the quality of life as we age

Re-defining the traditional medical model by challenging its one-size fits all, reactive approach of treating symptoms and disease. Our focus is on prevention through early intervention, and being proactive, not reactive


It combines principles from various disciplines, such as preventative & personalised medicine, advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and lifestyle interventions, to address the biological mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases

Proactive, not reactive

“By targeting the underlying causes of aging at the molecular and cellular levels, longevity medicine aims to delay the onset of chronic diseases, promote optimal health, and ultimately extend the duration of a healthy and fulfilling life”

Eight tiers of longevity medicine

A brief overview of the structured approach the LMI takes to longevity medicine.

  • Blood biomarkers

    • Cholesterol & Glucose control

    • Hormone profile & Immune System status

    • Organ function & Vitamin levels

    • Select genetic tests for cardiovascular & dementia risk

  • Medication & supplementation

    • Longevity-focused supplement regimen

    • Prescribed medication to control risk factors for CVD, dementia, stroke, osteoporosis

    • Blood monitoring overseen by Doctor

  • Exercise

    Essential to ‘diversify your weekly exercise’ portfolio to include the four domains:

    • VO2 max training

    • Zone 2 training

    • Resistance & strength training

    • Stability & balance

    The PT team at the LMI tailor exercise programs specific to your needs.

  • Nutrition & gut microbiome

    • >200 markers tested during Gut Microbiome mapping & nutritional DNA testing

    • Diet and microbiome overseen by the LMI’s dedicated nutritionist

    • Nutritionist works in conjunction with psychologist and PT to create patient-specific dietary plans

  • Restorative sleep - QQRT

    • Quantity- approx. 7-9 hrs depending, to allow sleep cycling between light, deep & REM sleep

    • Quality - sleep trackers can identify fragmented sleep, restless movements, heart & respiratory rate, O2 sats

    • Regularity - fall asleep and wake within a 30 mins margin of error, to anchor your circadian rhythms

    • Timing - align your sleep schedule with your natural chronotype (morning person, night owl, versus typical sleep-wake schedule)

  • Sleep hygiene

    • Consider light presence, sounds, wind-down time, temperature, food & drink timing, alcohol, caffeine.

  • Emotional health & stress management

    • DASS21 scoring to assess depression, anxiety and stress

    • LMI’s dedicated Psychologist can provide CBT-focused wellness plans

  • Social connection

    • Loneliness is a Health Risk Factor

    • Our relationships form a lattice of support that constitutes the largest single factor in the overall well-being of most people

    • Research indicates that prolonged periods of isolation are associated with increased stress and related changes in brain structure

    • Obtaining a social reward, like a smile from a friend, also releases hormones like dopamine to produce feelings of happiness and joy

  • Extreme behaviour & addiction avoidance

    • Addiction is a complex condition, a brain disease that is manifested by compulsive actions despite harmful consequences

    • We commonly think of addictions such as food, alcohol, smoking, illicit substances, gambling, sex/pornography

    • However we should not forget exercise, work or any other activity that takes control of our lives to the detriment or our mental health & inter-personal relationships
