Imagine if your health had a credit score. Not a vague "your cholesterol is fine" from a routine checkup, but a single, composite number that reflects the integrated state of your cardiovascular system, metabolic health, hormonal balance, inflammatory status, body composition, and fitness.
That is the Healthspan Score — a proprietary 0-100 composite that distills dozens of biomarkers, fitness metrics, and lifestyle factors into one actionable number.
The Healthspan Score draws from eight subsystem scores: cardiovascular health (ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP), metabolic function (HbA1c, HOMA-IR, fasting insulin), hormonal balance (thyroid, testosterone/estrogen, cortisol), body composition (visceral fat, lean mass ratio), fitness (VO2 max percentile), inflammation (hs-CRP, IL-6), nutritional status (vitamin D, B12, ferritin, omega-3 index), and biological age (epigenetic clock delta).
Lifeforce, one of the leading US longevity platforms, reports that their LifeScore system increases patient engagement by 2.3x compared to traditional lab reports. The reason is psychological: a score creates accountability, competition (against yourself), and a clear target. "Improve from 62 to 75" is more motivating than "reduce your HbA1c from 5.6 to 5.2."
We track your Healthspan Score quarterly. Each reassessment shows whether your protocols are working — or whether adjustments are needed. This is health as an ongoing optimization project, not a one-time event.
Start with a GenoRyx Spark assessment to establish your baseline score. Our longevity physician will walk you through every subsystem and create a roadmap to improvement.

Cold plunges, sauna sessions, fasting, and intense exercise all share one principle: brief, controlled stress triggers cellular repair pathways that make you more resilient.

Senescent zombie cells accumulate with age, refusing to die and poisoning their neighbours with inflammatory signals. Senolytic compounds can selectively clear them. Here is where the science stands in 2026.

Semaglutide and its successors were designed for diabetes and obesity. But emerging evidence shows GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce inflammation, protect the heart and brain, and may slow biological aging — effects that persist even without significant weight loss.
