Let’s be honest – ageing well isn’t just about dodging wrinkles or drinking green juice. It’s about strength, energy, mobility, and resilience. It’s about feeling younger than your years and living life on your terms.
And now, there’s a way to measure exactly how you’re doing – and how to do even better.
Introducing the Longevity Health Index (LHI) scan. It’s your personalised health MOT, designed to show what’s really going on inside your body. Not guesswork, not vague advice – just real science, real data, and a real plan to help you stay fitter, stronger and biologically younger, for longer.
Sound like something you should know about? It absolutely is.
What Is the Longevity Health Index?
Built from advanced DEXA scan technology – the gold standard in body composition analysis – it evaluates five key health metrics that are directly tied to longevity and quality of life.
But instead of just handing you a bunch of numbers, it turns those results into a clear, visual score out of 100. That score becomes your roadmap to long-term health.
Here’s what the LHI looks at:
Visceral fat
Lean muscle mass (especially in your limbs)
Bone density
Fat mass (adjusted for height)
Muscle symmetry
In short, it shows how well your body is ageing – and what to do if it’s not quite keeping up.
Why These Metrics Matter (Way More Than Your Weight)
You’ve probably stood on a set of bathroom scales and thought, “Well… okay. But what does that really mean?” The truth is, your total weight says almost nothing about how healthy you are. The LHI gets rid of that guesswork by measuring what really counts.
Visceral Fat
This is the fat stored deep in your belly, wrapped around your organs. It’s not visible from the outside – but it’s the kind that causes the most harm. High levels of visceral fat are linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and chronic inflammation.
The LHI shows whether your visceral fat is safely below the danger zone (that’s under 100cm²). If it is, brilliant – keep it there with balanced nutrition and movement. If not, it’s your signal to take action before problems arise.
Appendicular Lean Mass Index (ALMI)
ALMI tells you how much muscle mass you’ve got in your arms and legs. This is a crucial marker of strength, balance, and mobility – the very things that keep you independent and active into later life.
Low ALMI can point to sarcopenia, a condition where you lose muscle as you age. It’s surprisingly common, and it can sneak up on you. But the good news? It’s completely reversible with strength training, protein, and smart lifestyle tweaks.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
Strong bones aren’t just a nice-to-have – they’re a cornerstone of long-term health. Low bone density increases the risk of fractures, which can lead to reduced mobility and even hospitalisation as you age.
The LHI compares your bone strength with what’s typical for your age and what’s optimal (based on a healthy 25-year-old). If you’re in the healthy range, great! If not, it’s time to focus on bone-building strategies like resistance training and dietary calcium.
Fat Mass Index (FMI)
Forget BMI – FMI is where it’s at. Unlike BMI, which doesn’t account for body composition, FMI gives a fat measurement that’s adjusted for your height. That means a much clearer picture of whether your fat levels are where they should be.
An optimal FMI means you’ve got enough fat to function properly, but not so much that it puts your health at risk. It’s all about balance.
Muscle Symmetry
This is your body’s internal balance check. Are your left and right sides carrying similar muscle mass? Or are you slightly lopsided without even knowing it?
Balanced muscle mass reduces your risk of injury, improves posture, and supports pain-free movement. The LHI flags any imbalances so you can correct them before they cause issues down the line.
What Does Your Score Mean?
Once the scan is complete, all five metrics are tallied up into a score out of 100. It’s not just a number – it’s your personal longevity tracker.
A high score means your body is aligned with what science says about healthy ageing. You’re building protective muscle, keeping dangerous fat at bay, maintaining bone strength and moving with balance.
A lower score doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy – it just highlights where you can improve. Think of it as your invitation to get proactive.
For example, someone might score high on visceral fat and bone health, but low on ALMI – pointing to the need for more strength training and protein. That’s actionable info you can use right away.
Your Own Personal Health Plan
One of the best things about the Longevity Health Index is that it doesn’t just tell you where you stand – it tells you what to do next.
Each metric is accompanied by tailored advice based on your results. So instead of being left to figure it out, you walk away with a real plan.
That might include:
Resistance training 3–4 times per week
Increasing protein to 1.5–2g per kg of bodyweight
Keeping visceral fat low through smart carbs and stress management
Impact-based activity to strengthen bones
Creatine supplementation to support lean mass gains
Regular reviews to track improvements and adjust your plan
It’s simple. It’s science-based. And it’s all about putting you in control of your future health.
More Than a Scan – It’s Your Long-Term Strategy
The LHI scan is for anyone who wants to age on their own terms. Whether you’re already active and want to optimise your training, or you’re looking for a wake-up call to get started, this scan offers clarity.
It’s especially useful if you:
Are 35+
Want to improve longevity, not just fitness
Have a history of osteoporosis, diabetes or metabolic issues in the family
Feel weaker than you used to
Are on a weight loss journey and want to preserve muscle
Want to live independently and actively well into your later years
You don’t need to guess what your body needs. The scan tells you.
