Longevity Medicine · Dr. Romanos Practice

Stay ahead of disease —
not behind it.

A structured, physician-led assessment for long-term health, performance, and risk reduction.

Why this matters

Standard check-ups detect disease. Preventive medicine aims to avoid it.

Most medical care starts when symptoms appear. Longevity medicine starts earlier — identifying risk, optimising health, and maintaining performance over time. This is not about doing more tests. It is about doing the right ones — with a clear medical strategy.

Preventive

Risk identification before symptoms appear. Proactive health maintenance, not reactive treatment.

Physician-led

Medical assessment by a physician — not a coach, not a wellness trend, not marketing.

Evidence-based

Diagnostics and strategy grounded in current scientific evidence and clinical experience.

Individualised

Every assessment tailored to your age, risk factors, family history, and personal goals.

Who this is for

Designed for individuals who want to take control of their health.

High-workload professionals

Those with demanding careers who need to maintain physical and cognitive performance over the long term.

Family history risk

Those with a family background of heart disease, diabetes, or other chronic conditions requiring early intervention.

Deeper assessment

Those wanting more than a standard check-up — comprehensive metabolic, cardiovascular, and hormonal evaluation.

Long-term performance

Those committed to optimising their health span and maintaining function, energy, and clarity into later life.

How it works

Three pillars of assessment.

1
Clinical Assessment

Detailed history, family risk factors, lifestyle, and current health status. We establish your individual baseline and identify key areas of focus.

2
Targeted Diagnostics

Cardiovascular assessment, metabolic screening, inflammatory markers, hormonal profile, and functional capacity — tailored to your risk profile and goals.

3
Strategic Plan

A prioritised roadmap addressing your top risk factors and health goals — with clear steps, timelines, and measurable targets.

Personal & physician-led

No algorithms.
No one-size-fits-all.

Every assessment begins with an in-depth conversation — not a standard form. We take the time to understand your situation before we act.

Focus Areas

What we assess and optimise.

Cardiovascular Prevention

Blood pressure, lipid profile, arterial stiffness, inflammation markers, and risk stratification — identifying silent cardiovascular risk.

Metabolic Health

Blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, weight status — prevention of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Hormonal Balance

Thyroid, stress hormones, sex hormones — optimising energy, mood, sleep, and resilience across all life stages.

Cognition & Resilience

Cognitive reserve, stress resilience, sleep quality, and brain health — maintaining mental performance and emotional wellbeing.

Clarity

What this is not.

Not a full-body scan without indication. Not a collection of unnecessary biomarkers. Not wellness or biohacking trends. This is structured, evidence-based preventive medicine.

FAQ

Good to know.

What is the difference between a preventive check-up and a standard check-up?

Standard check-ups focus on current symptoms and basic screening. Preventive medicine is proactive — it identifies risk factors before symptoms appear, optimises metabolic and cardiovascular function, and establishes a long-term strategy for health maintenance.

Who should consider preventive medicine?

High-workload professionals, individuals with family history of chronic disease, those wanting deeper health assessment, and anyone interested in maintaining long-term performance and health span.

How long does the assessment take?

The initial consultation lasts 60–90 minutes and includes structured history, clinical assessment, and diagnostics planning. Follow-up results discussion and plan finalisation occur within 5–10 working days.

Are the costs covered by health insurance?

The initial consultation and basic diagnostics are covered by mandatory health insurance (KVG). Extended preventive panels are private services — costs are always discussed transparently in advance.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book an appointment directly online. Please bring any existing medical results or previous assessments for context.

How often should I have a preventive assessment?

This depends on your individual risk profile and findings. Most individuals benefit from reassessment every 1–3 years, with annual monitoring if specific risk factors are identified.

From the practice

Prevention that actually made a difference.

Male patient, age 45

Family risk — caught early

Father had a heart attack at 55. Standard labs unremarkable (LDL 130 mg/dl). Extended panel showed: Lp(a) massively elevated, ApoB above target. Early treatment initiation and lifestyle changes — now closely monitored with cardiovascular risk significantly reduced.

Female patient, age 42

Insulin resistance detected before diabetes

HbA1c 5.5% — "normal." But: fasting insulin significantly elevated, HOMA index 4.2. Clear insulin resistance, years before a potential diabetes diagnosis. Through targeted dietary changes and exercise: HOMA index normalised to 1.8 after 4 months.

Costs & billing

Transparent pricing.

Preventive medicine consultations and standard lab work are covered by mandatory health insurance (KVG). Extended prevention panels (hormone status, micronutrients, vascular risk markers) are supplementary services from CHF 200 to CHF 500. We clarify exact costs in the initial consultation — transparent and without surprises.

Prevention requires structure — not guesswork.

If you want clarity about your long-term health, a standard check-up is often not enough. A structured medical assessment creates direction.
