FAQ

What you should ask before booking.

Is “longevity medicine” even legitimate?
The honest answer: the diagnostic and preventive parts of longevity medicine are well-supported; the “rejuvenation” part is mostly experimental. The evidence-based core — comprehensive phenotyping, cardiovascular and cancer risk stratification, metabolic / glucose / lipid optimization, sleep and aerobic-fitness assessment, body-composition analysis — is grounded in standard preventive medicine and continues to extend healthspan in mainstream guidelines (USPSTF, ESC, ADA). The promotional layer of longevity clinics — IV infusions, NAD+, peptides, “senolytic stacks”, hyperbaric oxygen for healthy adults, full-body MRI without indication — has a much weaker evidence base. Our partner programs in China focus on the evidence-based core, with explicit disclosure where a service is investigational.
Why China for longevity medicine?
Three reasons: (1) Clinical infrastructure — China’s Class A teaching hospitals run high-throughput executive-physical departments with same-day endoscopy, full-body imaging (low-dose CT, full-body MRI without contrast), advanced cardiopulmonary testing, and a quality of nursing care that’s hard to match for the price; (2) Cost — a comprehensive 3-day phenotyping program costs $1,800–$5,500 in China vs $15,000–$50,000 at US executive-health flagships (Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Cooper); (3) Integrative TCM — China is the only major country where Western-trained physicians routinely co-manage with TCM specialists, allowing a credible bridge between mainstream preventive medicine and traditional approaches without losing rigour.
What does a longevity assessment include?
Standard core (covered in $1,800–$3,500 tier): comprehensive history and physical; resting and ambulatory blood pressure; high-sensitivity lipid panel inc. ApoB, Lp(a), and lipoprotein particle number; HbA1c, OGTT, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR; comprehensive metabolic panel; ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, TSH / fT4 / fT3; high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, uric acid; CBC with differential; PSA / Pap / mammogram screening as indicated; resting and exercise ECG, transthoracic echocardiography; carotid intima-media thickness ultrasound; coronary calcium score (CT) for adults ≥ 40; low-dose chest CT; abdominal ultrasound; gastroscopy / colonoscopy depending on age and risk; full-body MRI without contrast (optional add-on); bone densitometry; body composition (DXA or BIA); cardiopulmonary exercise testing (VO₂max); sleep questionnaire and home sleep study if indicated.
What about biological-age testing?
Available add-ons at top centres (mostly research-grade, returned with appropriate context): GrimAge / PhenoAge / Horvath DNAm-based clocks via licensed providers ($350–$650); telomere length ($180–$280); body composition / phase-angle BIA included in core; gut microbiome 16S sequencing ($220–$380, interpretation cautious — clinical actionability remains limited); inflammaging panel (IL-6, TNF-α, hsCRP) included in core. Our partners follow the international consensus that DNAm clocks are useful for population research but should not currently drive individual treatment decisions in isolation.
What does it cost?
Indicative all-in international-patient pricing: tier 1 — comprehensive 1-day executive physical $1,800–$3,500; tier 2 — 3-day phenotyping with full-body MRI and CPET $3,800–$5,800; tier 3 — annual multi-visit healthspan program (3 visits/yr + remote coaching) $9,500–$16,500. Add-ons: full-body MRI without contrast $700–$1,400; coronary CTA $650–$1,200; complete colonoscopy + gastroscopy $850–$1,800; biological-age panel $550–$950; cardiopulmonary exercise testing $250–$450. All quotes include bilingual report.
What therapies are typically recommended at the end?
Evidence-based core: cardiometabolic optimization (statin / antihypertensive / SGLT-2 / GLP-1 / Lp(a) management as indicated by guidelines); structured aerobic + resistance training prescription; sleep hygiene and OSA treatment; nutrition optimization (Mediterranean / DASH-aligned); stress and recovery management; preventive screening calendar; targeted micronutrient correction. Our partners do not recommend unproven therapies as first-line — including most peptide stacks, IV NAD+ for healthy adults, and senolytics outside trial settings. Where TCM is co-recommended, it is positioned as supportive (sleep, stress, fatigue) not curative; herbal interactions with prescribed medication are checked.
Is full-body MRI without contrast a good idea?
Mixed. Whole-body MRI is increasingly offered in private longevity clinics worldwide, marketed as a “cancer-detection” tool. The published evidence: in asymptomatic adults, sensitivity for clinically meaningful malignancy is real but modest, and false-positive findings (incidentalomas requiring further workup) are common (15–35% in published series). For a 50+ year-old or someone with significant family history, a whole-body MRI may add value alongside standard guideline-driven screening. For an asymptomatic 30-year-old, the false-positive workup risk likely outweighs benefit. Our partner radiologists discuss expected positive predictive value with you before ordering, and follow-up incidental findings are handled within the program.
How is integrative TCM positioned?
TCM is positioned as supportive lifestyle medicine, not as a substitute for evidence-based therapy. Standard add-ons at our partners: TCM constitutional assessment, acupuncture for sleep / stress / chronic pain, qi gong and tai chi prescription for fall prevention and cardiovascular conditioning. Herbal medicine is recommended cautiously and only after drug-interaction screening with your prescribed medication; combinations with anticoagulants, antiplatelets, anti-arrhythmics and statins receive particular scrutiny. We do not endorse open-ended “rejuvenation” herbal stacks.
