From unhealthy longevity to healthy longevity: a guided path, not a miracle
How new therapeutic tools, lifestyle habits, and medical monitoring can help us live better and longer
In recent years, the concept of healthy longevity has taken center stage in medical and societal conversations. It's no longer just about adding years to life: the challenge is to add life to years—by preventing chronic diseases, slowing degenerative processes, and maintaining mental and physical balance.
But what can we do when the body begins to slide toward a condition of unhealthy longevity?
The answer is not a shortcut, but a multidisciplinary path. That’s exactly the premise behind the Weight Loss Body Program developed by Image Regenerative Clinic—a structured approach to regaining health and vitality through a personalized, integrated program under strict medical supervision.
Healthy longevity: a daily construction
As explained in the “Code of Healthy Longevity”, aging can be modulated. Proper nutrition, physical activity—especially strength training—restorative sleep, stress management, and targeted supplementation (vitamin D, Omega-3s) are essential to slow the inflammatory processes that underlie many chronic and degenerative diseases.
A study published in Nature Aging showed that combining vitamin D, Omega-3s, and physical exercise can slow biological aging, even influencing epigenetic markers
(Nutrienti e Supplementi, 2023).
Similarly, Omega-3 supplementation has proven useful in preventing autoimmune diseases and low-grade silent inflammation
(Nutrienti e Supplementi, 2022).
When lifestyle is not enough: the role of new molecules
In some cases, despite best efforts, the body can no longer respond effectively. You enter a grey area marked by excess weight, sleep apnea, muscle loss (sarcopenia), and rising inflammation markers. Here, advanced pharmacological tools—under strict medical supervision—can be helpful.
Drugs like semaglutide (Ozempic®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), originally developed for type 2 diabetes, have shown revolutionary potential for
