Longevity Medicine: Decoding the Aging Process
Longevity means not just getting old, but staying healthy and capable. It is the transition from reactive disease treatment to proactive health optimization.
The Igloo Pro Reader is your tool to monitor aging biomarkers and verify the effectiveness of interventions such as nutrition, exercise, or supplementation.
1. Metabolic Health: The Foundation
A derailed metabolism is the accelerator of aging.
- Insulin Sensitivity (HbA1c): Even within the normal range, HbA1c provides valuable information about glycemic control. The goal in longevity medicine is often stricter, optimal values to minimize glycation processes (AGEs).
- Lipid Profile: A detailed look at cholesterol and triglycerides helps keep cardiovascular risk low in the long term.
2. Inflammaging: Extinguishing the Fire
With age, the immune system's ability to regulate inflammation decreases.
- hs-CRP Monitoring: Regular measurements of high-sensitivity CRP are the gold standard for tracking 'Inflammaging'. The goal is to keep values in the lowest range to delay age-related diseases like atherosclerosis or neurodegeneration.
3. Hormonal Vitality
Maintaining hormonal balance is essential for vitality and libido.
- Testosterone & DHEA: For men and women, these are markers for energy and muscle strength. Screening gives hints of deficits that can be balanced by lifestyle or bioidentical hormones.
- Thyroid (TSH, fT3, fT4): The metabolic engine must run smoothly to provide energy for repair processes.
4. Bio-Feedback in Real-Time
The greatest benefit of POC diagnostics in the longevity sector is immediate feedback.
- Tracking: Clients can see how their values change through fasting, cryotherapy, or training.
- Motivation: Data makes the invisible process of maintaining health tangible and motivates to stick with it.
