Prevention & Longevity Medicine

How can a person stay physically, emotionally and mentally healthy for as long as possible? Longevity medicine addresses precisely this question. It is not only about living as many years as possible, but about spending those years in good health, vitality and mental clarity – in other words, extending the healthy lifespan. In short: it is the art of healthy ageing, of improving quality of life and of slowing the ageing process. It is a medicine that seeks to develop and preserve health rather than focusing solely on disease.

At Privatpraxis Hannover Mitte we offer long-term support on your personal path to a long life in the best possible health – whether you already have first symptoms or are currently entirely healthy and simply want to know what you can do to stay that way. The longevity consultation revolves around a differentiated history to identify possible risk factors, individual blood analyses, nutrient therapies and the correction of any deficiencies, for example through infusion therapy, as well as an analysis of your hormone status where appropriate.

Micronutrient or vital-substance infusions are effective measures for the therapeutic and preventive improvement of performance and health stability. The advantage of intravenous infusions is that the active substances enter the bloodstream directly and can therefore take effect quickly and efficiently at a higher dose. Ideally, the levels of the relevant nutrients in the blood are analysed beforehand so that a personalised plan for specific infusion therapy can be drawn up.

Micronutrients are essential for a healthy metabolism and for our well-being. They must be present in an appropriate, individually adjusted amount for our cells to use them to generate energy. There is a widespread belief that a “healthy” diet is enough to ensure a balanced nutrient supply. Yet there are phases and circumstances in life – pregnancy, professional or family stress, intensive sporting activity or recovery after illness – in which the need for vitamins, minerals and amino acids increases and often cannot be met by food alone.

Non-specific symptoms such as tiredness, exhaustion, hair loss, mood swings as well as psychological and digestive problems can be first signs of a deficiency in certain nutrients. Through blood tests analysing vital substances we can determine precisely which nutrients your body needs – both to treat complaints and preventively, to stay healthy in the long term.
