Anti-Ageing Blood Panel

Comprehensive anti-ageing blood panel ordered and interpreted by Dr. John Levin, covering hormonal markers, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, inflammation, and longevity biomarkers including IGF-1. The panel supports baseline assessment and ongoing monitoring of patients on hormone optimisation programmes. Results are reviewed in a follow-up consultation with clinical interpretation tailored to the patient's longevity goals.

The anti-ageing blood panel at Melbourne Anti-Ageing Institute is a diagnostic cornerstone of the practice's personalised longevity medicine approach. Ordered and clinically interpreted by Dr. John Levin — who has been practising anti-ageing medicine in Melbourne since the early 1990s — the panel goes substantially beyond a standard GP health screen to capture the hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory markers most relevant to biological ageing and healthspan. Core components include the full hormone axis (IGF-1, testosterone, oestradiol, DHEA-S, thyroid panel including reverse T3, cortisol morning and evening), cardiovascular risk markers (lipid fractionation, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, hs-CRP, ApoB), metabolic health indicators (fasting insulin, HbA1c, fasting glucose, liver and kidney function), and nutritional status markers (vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, magnesium). The IGF-1 result in particular is central to Dr. Levin's practice, as it provides the most reliable surrogate for growth hormone secretion and is used both to identify deficiency and to guide titration of HGH replacement therapy for eligible patients. Results are reviewed in a dedicated consultation with Dr. Levin, who applies his decades of clinical experience to interpret findings in the context of the patient's symptoms, age, lifestyle, and health objectives — rather than simply flagging values outside standard population reference ranges. This clinically contextualised interpretation is what distinguishes the practice's blood testing service from standard pathology reporting, and is the reason patients across Melbourne and Victoria seek out this St Kilda Road practice for evidence-based longevity medicine.
