Metabolic + Healthspan Panel

The Metabolic + Healthspan Panel is the mid-tier longevity assessment at The Longevity GP, designed for individuals who want a deeper understanding of the metabolic and nutritional factors driving — or slowing — their biological ageing. It builds on the Foundational Healthspan Panel with two significant additions: an Insulin Resistance Profile and a comprehensive Micronutrients Profile.

Insulin resistance is now recognised as one of the earliest and most pervasive drivers of metabolic ageing, predating the onset of type 2 diabetes by years or even decades. The insulin resistance profile assesses fasting insulin levels alongside glucose to calculate HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance), providing a precise picture of how efficiently the body is processing glucose. This is critical for identifying pre-diabetic…

The Micronutrients Profile evaluates levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that are frequently deficient in modern populations, even those eating a balanced diet. Key micronutrients assessed include B vitamins (B12, folate), fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), magnesium, zinc, selenium, and coenzyme Q10, among others. Deficiencies in these nutrients are linked to fatigue, cognitive decline, immune dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and…
