Live Long and Prosper: A New Clinic Devoted to Fighting Aging

As global life expectancy rises, we all desire to live longer and better. These two pursuits also guide the wellness goals of discerning business and leisure travellers who seek ways to slow, manage, and reverse aging while cutting through all the “noise.”  

Chi Longevity, the first private clinic in Singapore dedicated to slowing biological aging and optimising health, has opened a new location within Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. Doctors, dietitians, psychologists, and health coaches collaborate to provide evidence-based, comprehensive, and preventative care to guide the aging journey.  

Developed by Professor Andrea B. Maier, Chi Longevity encompasses a variety of offerings, which range from one-hour sessions to yearlong “flagship” programs, focusing on everything from gut-health optimization to sleep improvement and stress reduction. Doctors, dietitians, psychologists, and health coaches collaborate to provide evidence-based, comprehensive, and preventative care to guide the aging journey.

Patients undergo tailored evaluations incorporating blood tests, glucose monitoring, psychosocial assessments, and precision-led solutions based on biomarkers. Then, they can receive personalized interventions including medical treatments, supplements, recommendations for lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing guidance from health coaches. Instead of merely treating symptoms, Chi aims to repair cellular damage, optimise organ function, and enhance mental and physical agility. 

So how should you Chi?

“Every short-term program unlocks valuable health insights and provides practical interventions in its own right,” says Dr. Naras Lapsys, Chi Longevity’s chief clinical officer and senior dietitian. “One option is to complete one program and then move on to the next, strategically building your health longevity portfolio. Alternatively, these programs may whet your appetite for the fully immersive 360-degree [flagship] programs that provide a comprehensive view of your current state of health and the complete longevity journey.”

Lapsys explains that the Vital Start Flagship Program, for example, “offers an essential picture of your health through the use of two biological clocks and metabolic and cardiovascular assessments. By gaining key insights into your heart, lung, and cognitive performance markers, you can identify potential risks before they become concerns.” 

For Four Seasons guests who already use the gym and leisure facilities or are interested in improving their physical health, energy, and vitality, Maier recommends the Physical Performance Specialized package (3 hours). “It measures key parameters such as VO2 max, lung function, hormone levels, and body composition, providing not only a valuable health assessment but also serving as a base for tailoring your training and measuring your health and fitness goals,” she says.  

As part of this collaboration, the culinary team at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore will work with Chi Longevity’s expert dietitians to create health-focused, nourishing dishes at the property’s Pool House restaurant.
