Longevity Screening
What is Longevity Screening?
Screening involves tests and check-ups to detect potential health problems before symptoms appear. As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can increase the risk of various conditions. Early detection through screening can lead to more effective treatment and better outcomes. Health screening helps identify risk factors and catch diseases in their early stages when they're often more manageable.

Before and After
"I genuinely thought I was fit and health - I train daily I don't feel I carry excess weight. However my screening showed very high cholesterol and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. With a young family I knew this was something that I had to manage and sour rather than later. I can thank Amy and Dr Dhesi enough for their support." Stuart Greater Manchester
