Longevity programme

The longevity programme at Medicinski center Ljubljana is run by Longevity Carpe Diem, a partner clinic for longevity and regenerative medicine. It is meant for people who want to look after their health ahead of time and in the long term, not only once problems appear.

Longevity medicine starts from the observation that many imbalances in the body begin long before the first symptoms. The clinic therefore looks for early signs of conditions that speed up ageing, such as chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalance, and for their causes in the environment, stress, eating habits, physical activity and genetics.

The programme is not meant for treating acute problems and does not replace your family doctor. With sudden or severe symptoms, contact your doctor, and in an emergency call 112.

Care starts with in-depth diagnostics. These include extended laboratory analyses with metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory markers, genetic and epigenetic analyses, imaging, and an assessment of biological age, sleep and neurocognitive abilities.

The clinic also assesses the level of oxidative stress, the presence of inflammatory processes, the state of the gut microbiome, metabolism and the immune system. From these data it puts together an overview of your health, on which the further plan is based.

Where it makes sense, you receive a wearable device that tracks sleep, recovery and metabolism. Its data allow the programme to be adjusted as the year goes on.

Based on the diagnostics, the clinic prepares a personal plan covering diet, exercise, regenerative therapies and hormonal balancing. Changes are introduced gradually, with the support of doctors, specialists and advisers.

The clinic offers three annual programmes that differ in the degree of personalisation and support. Vita is the basic programme for those meeting longevity medicine for the first time, Lux brings a higher degree of personalisation and continuous monitoring, and in the Omega programme a multidisciplinary team looks after the individual areas of your health.

Alchemy is an intensive two-day programme in which the clinic carries out its most extensive diagnostic protocol in a condensed time.

The first step is a free introductory e-consultation, which you book on the clinic’s website. Before it you fill in a questionnaire about your health, lifestyle and goals, and at the consultation the doctor uses your answers to present the programme that suits you best.

Care is self-pay and you do not need a referral. Sign-up is handled by the clinic itself, so an appointment cannot be booked on this website. The programme’s tests and examinations take place at Medicinski center Ljubljana, Vilharjev podhod 1.
