Longevity Carpe Diem

Longevity Carpe Diem is a clinic for longevity and regenerative medicine at Medicinski center Ljubljana. At the centre it runs the longevity programme.

Longevity medicine does not wait for disease to appear. By detecting imbalances in the body early and taking preventive steps in good time, it aims to preserve health and vitality for as long as possible.

The programme focuses on conditions that cause no symptoms for a long time but speed up ageing, such as chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalance. The clinic looks for their causes in the environment, stress, eating habits, physical activity and genetics.

The programme is not intended for acute problems. If you have sudden or severe symptoms, contact your family doctor, and in an emergency call 112.

Care begins with in-depth diagnostics, from which the clinic builds a "fingerprint" of your health. It includes extended laboratory tests with metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory markers, genetic and epigenetic analyses, an assessment of biological age, sleep and neurocognitive abilities, and diagnostic imaging.

The clinic also assesses inflammatory processes, the level of oxidative stress, the state of the gut microbiome, metabolism, the immune system and cell vitality.

Where needed, you receive a wearable device that tracks sleep, recovery and metabolism, so the programme can be adjusted as you go.

There are three annual programmes, which differ in the degree of personalisation and support. Vita is the foundation programme for those new to longevity medicine. Lux adds more personalisation, continuous monitoring and additional services. Omega is the most comprehensive, with a multidisciplinary team looking after every aspect of your health.

Alchemy is an intensive two-day programme that carries out the clinic's most extensive diagnostic protocol in a condensed time frame.

Based on the diagnostics, the clinic draws up a personal plan covering nutrition, exercise, regenerative therapies and hormonal balance. You introduce changes gradually, supported by doctors, specialists and advisers. After one year the clinic suggests repeating some of the tests and drawing up a new plan.

The first step is a free introductory e-consultation, which you book on the clinic's website. Before it you receive a questionnaire on your health, lifestyle and goals, and at the consultation the doctor uses it to present the most suitable programme.

Treatment is self-pay and you do not need a referral. Appointments cannot be booked on this website; the clinic handles sign-up itself, and you can write to it with questions at care@cdlongevity.com.
