What would you like to focus on?
A longevity consultation is a chance to discuss the health goals that matter to you. You may want to stay active, understand a risk raised at a health check, or make sense of a claim about ageing. Start with the question you want help with, rather than a list of products to buy.
You do not need to know which test or treatment to request. Dr Stavy’s published consultation process starts with a review of your history, lifestyle and goals. This gives the discussion a personal starting point. You can also explore the practice’s functional medicine consultations if you are deciding which service to ask about.
What happens in a consultation with Dr Stavy?
Dr Stavy reviews your health history, lifestyle and goals, then discusses which tests may be appropriate. Her published service information describes a plan shaped around your needs. Follow-up is discussed individually, based on those needs and the plan; there is no fixed schedule stated for every patient.
This is the practice’s published approach to longevity consultations. It describes the process you can ask about, rather than an outcome you should expect. A consultation does not come with a promise of a younger biological age, longer life or a particular change in how you feel.
Start with your story
Discuss your health history, day-to-day habits and what you would like to address. Bring up care you already receive and the questions you still have.
Discuss the options
Ask which assessments fit your needs, what they could add and what they would cost. You can ask about the limits as well as the possible value of a test.
Talk through the next step
Discuss the proposed plan and follow-up. Ask what would be reviewed, who you should contact with questions and how the plan fits with your usual medical care.
What does the evidence support?
There is established evidence for activity and the management of recognised health risks. Research into changing the biology of ageing is a different field, with questions still open about human benefit. An assessment should make that distinction clear. A promising study is not, on its own, proof that a service will extend your life. [1][3][4]
Healthspan means time spent in good health and able to do the things that matter to you. Lifespan is how long you live. A goal of healthy ageing is not the same as a measured increase in lifespan. The focus here is understanding your current health and making informed decisions, with limits stated alongside the options.
| Area to discuss | What the evidence tells us | Keep this limit in view |
|---|---|---|
| Activity and strength | WHO guidance supports regular aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening activity and less sedentary time. [1] | The right activity depends on your health and ability. This page does not prescribe an exercise programme. |
| Known health risks | Blood pressure, blood fats, smoking, diabetes and activity are recognised cardiovascular risk factors. [4] | Discuss your own risks with a clinician. A longevity label does not replace appropriate routine care. |
| Biological-age scores | Researchers are studying how to validate markers intended to reflect biological ageing. [2] | A score is not a demonstrated health outcome or a personal lifespan prediction. |
| Emerging ageing therapies | Geroscience studies the biology of ageing. Human benefit remains uncertain for some approaches studied in animals. [3] | An experimental finding does not establish the benefit or safety of a treatment for you. |
Does this replace conventional medical care?
No. Prevention is already part of conventional medicine. A consultation about healthy ageing should fit alongside care for any condition you have. Ask how a proposed plan relates to advice from your GP or specialist, especially if the recommendations appear to differ. You should not have to choose between discussing prevention and receiving appropriate medical care.
Will you need tests or a biological-age score?
Dr Stavy’s service information says testing is discussed according to individual needs. It does not establish one test list that is right for everyone. You can ask which question a proposed test would answer, how the result would be used and whether it is likely to affect your next decision.
Biological-age tests aim to describe aspects of ageing using selected measurements. Researchers still face challenges in comparing these markers, applying them across groups and proving their clinical value. A change in a score does not, by itself, demonstrate that someone will live longer or stay healthier. [2]
You do not need to buy a commercial age test before contacting the practice. If you already have results, ask how to share them for the consultation. The testing and diagnostics guide explains more about discussing test purpose, limits and cost.
What should I ask before paying for a test?
Ask what the test measures, why it is being suggested for you and what a different result would change. Ask about the full cost, including any review visit. You can also ask what happens if the result is uncertain and whether a simpler assessment could answer the question.
Can a test show that ageing has been reversed?
A change in a biological-age marker is not the same as showing a meaningful health benefit. The research on validating these markers highlights limits in how results can be compared and used in clinical care. Ask for evidence about the specific test and the outcome being claimed. [2]
What about supplements or new longevity treatments?
Treat each claim as a separate question. Evidence about one product, dose or study group does not establish benefit for another. Research into ageing includes promising ideas and unresolved human outcomes. This service page does not offer an experimental treatment package or establish that a supplement extends life. [3]
How can you prepare for a useful discussion?
Bring a short account of your health history, everyday habits and main goals. Existing test reports and letters can help you explain what has already been assessed. Ask the practice how to share records before sending medical information by email. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a finished plan.
Bring what you already know
- Your main goal: describe what you would like help to understand or decide.
- Your current care: note diagnoses, prescribed medicines, supplements and relevant appointments.
- Previous results: gather reports you have, with dates and the reason each test was done.
- Your daily routine: describe activity, food, sleep and any practical limits you want to discuss.
Leave room for these questions
What are the priorities? What evidence supports each option? What would it cost? How would progress be assessed? What should I discuss with my usual clinician?
If a recommendation is unclear, ask for an explanation in plain language. The aim of these questions is to help you understand the choices, not to assume that every consultation needs new tests or treatment.
What will your appointment cost?
Enquire about the fee and format for your longevity consultation. Costs depend on your needs and the proposed plan. Laboratory tests cost extra; ask about follow-up charges too. A request does not reserve an appointment.

Questions before you enquire
What is longevity medicine with Dr Stavy?
It is an individual consultation about your health history, lifestyle and goals for healthy ageing. Dr Stavy discusses which assessments may fit your needs and a plan for next steps. The purpose is to support informed health decisions. It is not a promise to reverse ageing, prevent every illness or extend your lifespan.
Is this the same as an anti-ageing treatment?
The term anti-ageing is used for many different services and products. Here, the focus is a medical consultation about current health and healthy-ageing goals. Ask what a proposed assessment or treatment is intended to do and what evidence supports that claim. A label alone does not establish a clinical benefit.
Do I need a biological-age test before booking?
No test purchase is required before you contact the practice. Dr Stavy’s published process starts with your health history, lifestyle and goals, with tests discussed individually. If you already have a biological-age report, ask how to share it. Such scores have limits and should not be treated as a personal lifespan prediction. [2]
Can a longevity consultation make me live longer?
The practice does not promise lifespan extension. Research into ageing explores possible ways to improve health and function, but findings in animals and changes in test markers do not establish a longer life for an individual patient. Discuss the purpose, evidence and limits of each proposed option in relation to your own health. [3]
Can I arrange a consultation online?
Dr Stavy offers consultations in London and online. Ask the practice which format is suitable for your needs and what information to provide before the appointment. Some concerns may need an examination or another care route. This is a routine consultation service, so use urgent-care services if you need immediate medical help.
How much does it cost, and are tests included?
Ask the practice to confirm the fee for your longevity consultation and any follow-up. The published longevity information says costs vary with individual needs and the plan. Laboratory tests are charged separately. Check the cost of each proposed test and any visit to review it before deciding how to proceed.
How often will I need follow-up?
There is no fixed follow-up schedule stated for every longevity patient. Dr Stavy’s published service information says the frequency depends on your needs and treatment plan and is discussed during the consultation. Ask what would be reviewed, why another appointment may be useful and what the appointment would cost before arranging it.
