In short
- A year, not a day. Baseline assessment, a written plan, then reviews that repeat the measurements that matter.
- Risk first. Cardiovascular, metabolic, body composition and sleep, because those move outcomes.
- No supplement stacks, no whole body scans without a reason. Unproven is described as unproven.
- Three or four priorities, ranked, because a plan with twenty items is a plan nobody follows.
Treatment Overview
What is the Annual Longevity Membership?
It is a structured year of preventive medicine. The starting point is a long consultation and a set of investigations chosen for your risk profile rather than a fixed panel sold to everyone. From that comes a written report: what was measured, what it means, where your risk actually sits and which three or four changes would move it most.
Reviews across the year repeat the measurements that matter and adjust the plan. If a change in diet, training or medication has not moved the marker it was meant to move, that is treated as information rather than as your personal failure.
What the year covers
- Cardiovascular and metabolic risk, including the lipid markers standard panels often omit, blood pressure, glucose regulation and insulin resistance.
- Body composition and function. Muscle mass, strength and cardiorespiratory fitness are among the more reliable predictors of how the next decades go.
- Sleep, stress and lifestyle, assessed properly because they change more outcomes than most supplements do.
- Hormonal and nutritional status where symptoms or history make it relevant.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- You feel well and want to know where your real risk sits before something declares itself.
- You have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, stroke or dementia and want it taken seriously rather than noted and forgotten.
- You already track a great deal of your own data and want a physician to interpret it and act on it.
- You have been offered long lists of tests and supplements elsewhere and want an assessment of what is actually supported by evidence.
- You are willing to repeat measurements, because checking whether a change worked is the whole point.
- You want a single scan of everything with no clinical reasoning behind it.
- You have an active, undiagnosed symptom. That needs investigating now, not folded into a year long programme.
- You are looking for infusions, peptides or treatments promoted ahead of their evidence.
What Happens During the Consultation
-
1
Goals and history
What you want from the next decades, your family history in detail, your current training, sleep and eating patterns, and anything you already measure yourself. Existing data is reviewed rather than repeated for the sake of it.
-
2
Baseline assessment
Long consultation, examination, and investigations chosen for your risk profile. Cardiovascular and metabolic markers, body composition, blood pressure and fitness, with additional testing where your history justifies it.
-
3
Interpretation and ranking
Dr. Felix goes through what the results mean and where your risk actually sits. Findings are ranked, because the three or four changes that matter most are worth more than a list of twenty.

Your written plan for the year
What to change, in what order, and which measurements will show whether it worked. Review dates are set at this point so the year has a structure rather than good intentions.
Program Structure & Follow-Up
How does the year run?
After the baseline, reviews are spaced across the year and each one has a purpose.
- Early review after the plan starts, to check that changes are workable in your actual life rather than in theory.
- Repeat measurement of the specific markers the plan was meant to move, at intervals that make biological sense for each one.
- Plan adjustment. If a marker has not moved, the approach changes rather than the effort being doubled.
- Referral where needed, to named colleagues, with the findings coming back into your file rather than disappearing into a parallel record.
At the end of the year you have a second set of measurements against the first, which is the only honest way to know whether the year did anything.
Benefits, Limits & Safety
What this can and cannot do
Preventive medicine works on probabilities, not certainties. Lowering blood pressure, improving lipids, building muscle and sleeping properly reduce risk across large populations, and the effect on any one person cannot be promised. That is stated plainly here rather than dressed up.
- What is well supported gets recommended even when it is dull: blood pressure control, lipid management where indicated, resistance training, cardiorespiratory fitness, sleep, alcohol, and not smoking.
- What is promising but unproven is described as exactly that, and you decide with full information.
- Over testing has costs. Scans ordered without a clinical reason produce incidental findings, which lead to further tests, anxiety and occasionally harm.
No unproven infusions are given, no supplement stacks are sold from the practice, and nothing is ordered because it sounds impressive.
What the evidence shows
Blood pressure control, lipid management, cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle mass are among the interventions with the strongest evidence for reducing cardiovascular events and preserving function with age. Effects are population level probabilities, not individual guarantees.
How you are followed
A baseline set of measurements, then repeat measurement across the year at intervals matched to each marker, plus scheduled reviews to adjust the plan and a year end comparison against baseline.
When this is not the right programme
An active undiagnosed symptom needs investigation now rather than a year long preventive plan. Acute illness, and any situation needing urgent specialist care, comes first.
Cost & Program Investment
The membership covers physician time, interpretation and continuity across the year. Investigations are billed at laboratory cost and any medication at pharmacy cost. What determines the range is the depth of the baseline your history calls for, and you get the exact figure after the first consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
A health check tells you where you stand on one day. This membership measures the baseline, changes what can be changed, and then measures again to see whether the change worked. The second measurement is what a single check up never gives you.
No, and most people who join feel well. The point is to find modifiable risk while it is still quiet. If you already have a diagnosis, that is managed within the plan rather than treated as a reason to stay out.
No. Nothing is sold from the practice. Where a supplement is justified by a measured deficiency or a specific clinical reason, it is recommended and you buy it wherever you like. Where there is no evidence, you are told there is no evidence.
You get a referral to a named colleague and the findings come back into your record. Dr. Felix stays responsible for making sure the separate opinions add up to a coherent plan rather than a set of unconnected letters.
