If you are considering a treatment or test
The individual pages describe the service, method, fees and main precautions. Check availability and conditions, and consider your options after an assessment and explanation.
Planning for healthy years ahead
Stay connected to what matters to you as you age. Understand your current health and consider your options with a physician.
Our approach to longevity
You may want to keep working, enjoy your hobbies or spend more time with family. What you want to do and how you want to live are personal parts of thinking about your health.
Longevity care focuses on health as you age. We draw on approaches used by longevity clinics in the United States and on internal medicine to help each person understand their condition and goals.
Research into ageing and health is separate from decisions about a specific treatment. We review your lifestyle and previous care and discuss what you need with the physician.
About the physician and clinicOur functional medicine perspective
The clinic offers consultations that draw on the Longevity Program and functional medicine. We ask about your medical history, diet, sleep, activity, symptoms and health goals. When appropriate, you and the physician choose tests such as blood tests. We review the results in consultation and consider lifestyle and nutrition changes and clinical options.
Discuss what to check and what steps to consider to stay healthy over time. The physician helps you clarify your health and goals. A single test cannot guarantee finding an underlying cause, and this approach does not guarantee a longer life.
Before deciding on any treatment or test, review its evidence, limitations and main risks.
How we approach ongoing health management
How we approach health management
The diagram shows how we approach care. It does not represent a specific test package or a treatment course that applies to everyone.
The physician explains what the results mean and what the tests cannot tell you. Together we consider lifestyle and nutrition changes and clinical options. We review changes in your health and test results and adjust the plan to suit your condition. We consider the evidence, limitations, costs and main risks, including the choice to decline.

Where to start
Choose what you would like to learn about. You do not need to select or join a program to start a consultation.
If you are unsure where to start
Start with the changes you have noticed and what matters to you. See the information by concern or goal and review what to check before a consultation.
Evidence and whether care is appropriate
Healthy ageing and the effectiveness of a particular treatment or test are separate questions. The term “longevity” does not establish that a service extends life or reverses ageing.
We review what is known and uncertain, the approval status, fees and risks of each treatment. If you need an assessment of symptoms or treatment for illness, also see our insured care information.

People living in Japan can start with a consultation or find information on a particular treatment or test. We describe our approach in Japanese and provide an English overview.
The clinic director provides detailed explanations in English. English-language pamphlets are available for some services. Confirm language support for reception, consultations and explanations of results before visiting. Arrangements for international visitors are not yet in place, and whether groups travelling to Japan can be accepted is under consideration. Guidance depends on group size, dates, the requested care, language and any interpreting needs.

Our vision for longevity care
Longevity care brings test results into ongoing health management. The clinic combines internal medicine with a functional medicine perspective, starting with your health goals, medical history, diet, sleep, and activity. Where appropriate, you and the physician consider blood tests or other assessments. The physician explains the results and discusses lifestyle and nutritional approaches, clinical options, and follow-up as your health changes.
You can start with a specific treatment or test, or explore a broader approach to your future health. We aim to bring these perspectives together, grounded in the physician’s internal medicine background. Joining a programme is not the starting requirement.
Each option requires its own assessment of suitability, evidence, limitations, risks, and costs. Research into ageing does not establish that any treatment described on this site extends life or reverses ageing.
