The wellness world has its gaze firmly set on longevity and that’s no bad thing. Positive lifestyle interventions implemented in the present, only serve to safeguard our future health. Indeed, studies show that the global healthspan-lifespan gap is widening and research presented by the World Economic Forum demonstrates across the globe, we’re living longer than ever before but spending more of those years in poor health.
Cultural zeitgeist aside, adapting our high-speed, high-stress modern lifestyles to be built for the long-term, seems entirely vital. But with so much discourse on balancing nutrition, peak physical activity, high quality sleep and the quest for optimisation on all fronts, how do you know which approach is right for you?
The answer is you don’t.
We are living at a time whereby we have more chronic disease than ever before and yet record numbers of master athletes increasing their performances in events across the globe. At the molecular level, each individual is unique and what works for one, will not work for another and thus, the concept of mass wellness becomes a falsity.
The wellness of one
While healthy habits significantly reduce the risk of premature ageing, genetic predispositions still play a pivotal role.
That’s why data-led personalisation is essential.“When it comes to healthspan, knowledge is absolutely power. The more precise and personalised insight you have into your own health, the more effectively you can intervene and optimise, and potentially extend both your healthspan and your lifespan,” says Dr George Gaitanos, Chief Operating and Scientific Officer of the Chenot Group.
Chenot is leading the charge in this next frontier of precision longevity with their pioneering new Body Insights & Optimisation Programme. A deep-dive into guests’ unique health state and personal ageing trajectory with the worthy goal of achieving full physical potential.
A deeper understanding
The very latest in precision longevity, the new programme begins with molecular testing to assess the individual’s levels of silent inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance, and structural integrity of connective tissue to produce a comprehensive blueprint for gene expression and cellular activity. Vascular ageing is then assessed to measure arterial function and gut microbiota evaluated so as to understand the integrity of the intestinal barrier and immunity levels.
The diagnostic screening is then enhanced with functional testing to investigate strength, balance, posture, heart rate variability and fundamentally, a VO2 Max test. Because VO2 Max measures the body’s maximum capacity to consume oxygen during exercise, it is the key indicator of aerobic endurance and cardiovascular health. Consequently, VO2 Max along with grip strength, are now globally accepted as the two most accurate biomarkers of biological age.
“Personalised screenings reveal what truly needs attention—be it inflammation, arterial stiffness, or fitness performance. The Body Insights & Optimisation Programme removes guesswork by offering an analysis on molecular, physiological and functional levels to help you act with precision, rather than assumptions,” explains Dr Gaitanos.
The Chenot Molecular Lab identifies genetic predispositions which are used to give post-stay lifestyle optimisation recommendations. The medical team at Chenot, together with Dr. Antonio Di Mauro, Chenot’s Research and Innovation Manager, then design a functional diet plan to suit each guest’s metabolic state. By fully comprehending what the body responds to and then putting it into practice, true optimisation becomes a realisable goal.
“The guest will receive a lifestyle optimisation report/plan with personalised strategies on exercise, nutrition, stress management, sleep hygiene, and recovery routines, all grounded in scientific evidence and tailored to his/her unique biological profile,“ says Dr Di Mauro.
The future of longevity
So back in the real world of toxicity and bombardment, what about those lifestyle interventions we’ve been so conscientiously honing? Are they rendered redundant by our own personal genetic blueprint? Quite the contrary. Epigenetic research shows that behaviours can switch genes on or off, so healthy lifestyle habits essentially turn the genetic dials on longevity.
“Genetics set the baseline, but it is lifestyle that determines whether those genes are expressed beneficially or harmfully,” clarifies Dr Di Mauro. “With the right inputs—nutrition, physical exercise, stress modulation—we can often override predispositions.”
Although still wise to be discerning about the trend for betterment, and stay away from anything vaguely faddy, optimisation is still a prudent goal for us all. It is in the deeper understanding of our biological self that we can be most effective at optimisation and upgrade longevity from trend, to a reliable roadmap map that safeguards our future health.
“The more insights you gather, the more proactive and committed you become, “ Dr Gaitanos explains. “It is personalised data that empowers sustainable change.”
