Anti-Aging Institute

concept programme

Customers who wish to assess their current state of health, who have been diagnosed with a disease or who have previously been diagnosed with an abnormality, go to the Anti-Aging Institute’s internist, internal disease physician. In turn, customers who are sure that they have no diseases or abnormalities or who have already been studied by an internist or an internal disease physician, go to a preventive medicine specialist. Within the framework of the concept, all customers are advised to see physicians of both specialties, as each of them assesses a person’s health according to the guidelines and specificities of their field.

Anyone aged 18 and over can become a customer of the concept programme. In turn, twenty-five is the age at which a person starts to age. If there is no family history of risk factors – neither father, nor mother had any serious diseases – then you should have a general health check-up between the ages of 25 and 30 to make sure your health is fine. The Anti-Aging Institute’s concept provides for a completely personalised health check-up plan, taking into account not only gender, age, current or previous diseases, but also family history, genetic predisposition and other details, enabling to determine the true state of health from tip to toe and to plan the most appropriate treatment with a holistic approach in future.

A patient turns to a general practitioner for treatment of acute and chronic diseases, preventive check-ups, consultations on health improvement and other information on health status and actions in various health-related life situations, while the Anti-Aging Institute’s concept provides for a personalised approach and teamwork in taking care of the customer’s mental and physical health, enabling them to live a full life. The concept allows to diagnose and solve the existing health problems and to predict possible future diseases through genetic tests. The leading physician of the concept programme, working with a multidisciplinary team of specialists, has the profound aim of changing the traditional focus from working with patients to working with people not yet having become patients.

Both an in-depth study of the customer’s complaints and medical history and objective studies are carried out. This is followed by a diagnostic phase. The leading physician of the concept programme draws up a detailed diagnostic plan, prepares referrals and information for studies, as well as for physicians of other specialties. The implementation of the diagnostic plan (scheduling of studies and specialist appointments) is handled by the customer manager in individual agreement with the customer.

Both the leading physician of the concept programme and the customer manager follow up regularly (more than once a week) throughout the diagnostic phase.

At the end of the diagnostic phase, the leading physician of the programme, together with other involved specialists, if necessary by organising a medical consultation, assesses the customer’s health risk factors, determines the customer’s health status, assessing all organ systems. The “principle of flags” is used to assess the health status:

• Red flag – problems, solving which is a priority, since they pose a serious health risk;
• Orange flag – moderate health threat that need to be addressed as soon as possible;
• Yellow flag – aspects of health status urging to pay attention to and take preventive action against;
• Green flag – condition is generally good, but maintenance, improvement and preventive measures are recommended.

The leading physician of the concept programme assesses the customer’s health on a “principle of flags” basis, preparing a clear report on the current state of the body and organ systems for each visit. Health problems are addressed in a sequence, starting with red “flags” and ending with green “flags”, in agreement with the customer.

Once the customer’s health has been restored and individual health risk factors have been addressed (red, orange and yellow “flags” turned green), the customer is offered a long-term aging management plan. Also at this stage, an extended (1 h) consultation with the leading physician of the concept is scheduled once a year to update the customer’s concept programme book and monitor the customer’s health in the long-term.

During the cooperation, a personal customer manager will follow the schedule of your individual plan and preventive measures – will coordinate and remind you about upcoming consultations and procedures, explain how to properly prepare for studies and ensure the communication between you and specialists.

Your customer manager will constantly monitor your private correspondence, responding promptly to any queries received. The Anti-Aging Concierge allows you to save appointment waiting and travel time, resolve sudden issues without having to visit the clinic and rest assured that your health and comfort are always taken care of.

“Anti-Aging Institute” cooperates with most insurance companies, which may cover some or all costs of these services (depending on the type of insurance policy and the covered services).

We also offer to split the payment into several instalments. We have a long cooperation with aizdevums.lv and Sefinance, which provides our customers with platinum terms and the possibility to settle their loan by overpaying a small amount but splitting the payments in a convenient way.

There is the possibility to look at specific budget options. For example, a customer may say that they currently have 1000 euros dedicated to improving their health, we will draw up a plan within that budget, including what is most important for the customer’s health at that particular time. If the customer does not choose to do the whole concept programme, but would like to start this journey with the single most pressing problem – this is also possible. We start with one, then we can slowly move on.

The approximate cost is 4000 euros without genetic tests. Genetic test(s) can be chosen additionally. Tests are divided into blocks, for example: cardiology test, gynaecology test, skin test, nutrition test, etc. The cost per test panel starts from 650 euros. We cooperate with three genetic laboratories: a laboratory in Luxembourg (already six years of experience), in the USA and an IVF Clinic in Latvia.

4000 euros may seem like a lot, but if you understand that the information you receive from a diagnosis will provide a solid foundation for a lifelong healthcare, it is a worthwhile investment that will pay off. Besides, genetic tests reflect information that will not change over a lifetime, but provides important insights into potential problems that may be encountered during your life. It is an opportunity to look into the future. Besides, a genetic test can also be a valuable legacy for children, who can use this information to build their own health platform.

Diagnostics include a wide variety of studies, including whole-body magnetic resonance imaging, body composition measurements, skin diagnostics, laboratory tests, ultrasonography and many more.

All customers of the Anti-Aging Institute’s concept undergo a comprehensive diagnosis based on individual risks, which most often includes the following studies:

• genetic tests;
• computed tomography studies;
• metabolic diagnostics;
• magnetic resonance imaging studies;
• urine, faeces and blood tests
• endoscopy studies;
• ultrasonography; studies
• gut microbiome study;
• X-ray studies;
• consultations with various specialists.
