“ As the world becomes more cognisant of the beneficial effects of looking at the body as a single system and treating disease by starting at the root causes , more and more people will want to embrace this science ,” says Khan .
Modern thinking on ageing centres around ‘ epigenetic deterioration ’ or the breakdown of our cells ’ abilities to read the ageless DNA blueprint they contain .
“ Genetics we are born with , our epigenetics is the lifestyle we adopt ,” explains Khan , “ and this determines far more of our current status both in health and ageing .”
Epigenetic testing uniquely measures the reversible impacts of lifestyle on genes and from there , personalised treatments can be delivered to target those elements .
Among cutting-edge wellness methods , IV-drips , cryotherapy , peptide injections , hyperbaric oxygen therapy and red-light therapy all claim to slow down the process of cellular ageing , increase cognitive function , and even delay the onset of chronic diseases , from dementia to diabetes .
“ A lot of our treatments are essentially intravenous in nature , to try and maintain balance between nutrients , vitamins and minerals to create an environment which optimises healing , reduces inflammation and prepares the body to receive exosomes and stem cells – this in turn helps with the regenerative process .”
