Momentum Assessment

A full-day longevity assessment building on the Vital Start foundation with extended diagnostics, deeper specialist evaluation, and additional functional testing across six hours, providing a more granular view of cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, and musculoskeletal health for those who want thorough longitudinal tracking.

The Momentum Assessment extends the diagnostic depth of the Vital Start programme into a six-hour clinical session that allows for more specialised testing and longer physician interaction. Where the Vital Start captures the essential biomarkers and functional benchmarks needed for a longevity baseline, Momentum adds layers of analysis that are particularly valuable for individuals who already have baseline data and want to track changes with greater precision, or for those whose initial results flagged areas warranting deeper investigation. The blood panel expands to include additional hormonal markers, oxidative stress indicators, and advanced cardiovascular risk factors beyond standard lipid measurements. These extended panels can reveal subtleties that routine screening misses — for example, lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein each carry independent predictive value for cardiovascular events that total cholesterol alone does not capture. Functional testing becomes more comprehensive at this tier. The cardiovascular assessment may include more detailed exercise physiology measurements, while the musculoskeletal evaluation extends beyond grip strength to incorporate balance testing, gait analysis, and additional measures of physical capacity that correlate with healthspan in ageing populations. Cognitive testing is expanded to cover a broader range of domains, providing a richer dataset for longitudinal comparison. The DEXA scan remains a core component, with detailed regional analysis of lean mass distribution and visceral fat quantification. For individuals tracking body recomposition over time — whether through exercise, dietary changes, or pharmaceutical interventions — this level of detail allows meaningful comparison between visits rather than relying on imprecise measures like BMI or waist circumference. Physician time is substantially longer than in the Vital Start programme, allowing for in-depth discussion of results, review of any existing supplement or medication regimens, and collaborative development of intervention strategies. The follow-up consultation is more detailed, with written recommendations covering nutrition, exercise programming, sleep optimisation, and stress management tailored to the specific findings from the assessment day. The six-hour format is structured with scheduled breaks and is designed to minimise fatigue while maximising diagnostic yield. Morning fasting blood draws are followed by functional assessments, imaging, and cognitive testing, with the physician consultations typically scheduled in the afternoon once preliminary results are available for discussion.
