Heart health

Heart health care that starts early, before problems do

Cholesterol and glucose often drift upwards quietly, years before they cause any symptoms. That makes them some of the most changeable parts of your long term heart health. Longaevitas doctors help you act early, with a plan built around your results, your family history and the life you live.

Why early matters

Cholesterol particles slowly build up in artery walls over many years, and glucose that sits a little high adds to that strain. Neither usually causes symptoms until much later.

Acting while results are only starting to rise gives you the most room to change the long term picture, often with everyday changes before any medicine is needed.

One plan for your heart and metabolism

Cholesterol and glucose are closely linked, so Longaevitas doctors look at them together. Your plan considers food, movement, sleep, stress, alcohol and smoking alongside your results and family history.

Where lifestyle changes are not enough on their own, or your overall risk is higher, prescription treatment may be considered where clinically appropriate.

Progress you can see

Your VitaPrint every six months shows how your results are responding, so your plan can be adjusted with real information rather than guesswork.

Some results and symptoms need your own doctor to see you in person, and a diagnosis may require an in-person clinical examination.

Common questions

Do I need medicine for high cholesterol?

Not always. Many people improve with changes to food, movement and other habits. Medicine may be considered where clinically appropriate, based on your results and overall risk.

Is a slightly high glucose a concern?

Glucose that sits above the ideal range is worth acting on early, because it adds to long term heart and metabolic strain and often responds well to change.

How do I see whether it is working?

Your VitaPrint every six months shows how your cholesterol and glucose are responding, and your doctor updates your plan from there.

What does the programme cost?
