Can longevity treatments be harmful if you already have an underlying health problem?
The question, asked by a man aged 30 to 44
I’m interested in doing something for healthy ageing, but I’m worried about starting a programme without knowing what’s going on inside my body. Should you get a full health assessment first?
Yes, they can be. Longevity treatments are not the same for everyone.
IV therapies can affect people with kidney or heart conditions.
Ozone therapy is not safe for people with G6PD deficiency or an overactive thyroid.
IR sauna and intense exercise can be given only after checking for people with high blood pressure or a heart condition.
Fasting and extreme diets are risky for individuals with diabetes
Supplements and peptides can interact with medicines or existing conditions. A full health assessment is important.
Suggested Tests
- CBC
- Kidney function, liver function and electrolytes
- HbA1c and lipid profile
- TSH and free T4
- Urine routine
- ECG and blood pressure
- G6PD test, before IV therapies or ozone therapy
- Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV screening
- Coagulation profile
