Inside the Longevity+ Blood Pane1-what 100+ Biomarkers Actually Tell You and What They Don't
Key Points
Longevity+ is an extended biomarker panel that goes beyond a standard executive blood test, adding depth in cardiovascular particle risk with ApoB and Lp(a), insulin sensitivity, inflammation, hormones and nutritional status. It is most useful for people who already have a solid baseline and want to track gradual change over years, not for someone who has not yet had a standard panel. It deliberately leaves out broad population cancer marker panels and treats biological age scores as informative rather than decision-driving.
Most blood panels are built around a question, is there disease, yes or no. Longevity+ is built around a different one. Given the trajectory you're on now, what's worth changing before it becomes a diagnosis. That's the honest way to describe an extended biomarker panel, and it's a very different product from a diagnostic test, even though both use a blood draw.
A panel with 100+ markers is only as good as the doctor reading it. The value isn't the number of dots on the page. It's whether someone can tell you which of those dots actually matter for you, and which are noise. That's the standard Longevity+ is built to.

Why go beyond a standard executive panel
A standard executive blood panel is built to catch established or emerging disease: full blood count, kidney and liver function, standard lipids, glucose regulation, thyroid function. It does that job well and it's the right starting point for almost everyone.
Longevity+ exists for a narrower group of people, those who already have a solid baseline and want a genuinely granular picture of cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory and nutritional status. The kind of resolution that lets small, gradual changes be tracked year to year, rather than only catching problems once they've crossed into an abnormal range.
What's inside the panel
Cardiovascular, in depth. Beyond standard lipids, the panel adds ApoB, a more accurate measure of atherogenic particle number than LDL alone, and Lp(a), a largely genetically determined marker of cardiovascular risk that a standard panel won't catch and that only needs measuring once in most people.
Metabolic and glycaemic status. HbA1c and fasting glucose form the core measures, with fasting insulin added to give a picture of insulin sensitivity, useful for spotting metabolic risk years before it would show up as prediabetes on HbA1c alone.
Inflammation. High-sensitivity CRP acts as a general marker of systemic inflammation, interpreted in context rather than in isolation, since it can be raised by many things unrelated to long-term disease risk.
Hormonal profile. Thyroid function, and sex hormones where clinically relevant to your symptoms and life stage, read against how you actually feel, not chased as a number to optimise for its own sake.
Nutritional status. Vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin and iron studies, and other markers commonly depleted by diet, absorption issues or lifestyle factors that are easy to correct once identified.
Liver and kidney function, and full blood count, form the structural baseline every other result sits against.
Selected specialist and emerging markers are added where your history justifies them, always explained in terms of what decision they would actually change, not included simply because they exist.
What the panel deliberately leaves out, and why that matters
Some tests marketed as part of longevity panels elsewhere are excluded, or offered only with a clear caveat, because the evidence doesn't yet support acting on them.
Broad cancer marker panels used as general population screening tools, rather than for monitoring a known condition, tend to generate false alarms far more often than they catch early cancer. Biological age scores are interesting to look at, but at present don't come with an established treatment pathway attached to the number itself. We'll show you yours if you're curious, but we won't let it drive decisions on its own. Markers with no actionable follow-up are left out too. If a result wouldn't change what you or your doctor does next, it isn't worth the anxiety of an unexplained abnormal flag.
This is the same principle that runs through every assessment at The Wellness. A doctor telling you what you don't need is part of the service.
How the results actually get used
A 100+ marker panel is only useful with proper interpretation attached. Every Longevity+ result is reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor who reads it against your history, your goals and, where you've tested before, your own trend over time, because a value moving within the normal range can matter more than a single reading against a generic population reference.
Where something is genuinely outside range, the same doctor sets out what it means, what if anything needs repeating or investigating further, and what a realistic, evidence-based next step looks like. Where everything sits comfortably within range, you leave with a proper baseline, which is what makes your next test, in six or twelve months, meaningfully more useful than a first-time snapshot ever can be.
How to access it
Longevity+ is available as part of the Baseline Assessment, Executive Body Scan and Executive Health Programme, and forms part of the ongoing testing built into the Continuous Care, Principal and Family Office programmes for patients who want their panel tracked year on year rather than taken once. Because the exact marker set is tailored to your history and goals, pricing is confirmed once a doctor has reviewed what's actually relevant to you.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Longevity+ different from a standard executive blood panel? It adds depth in the areas a standard panel only screens at a basic level, cardiovascular particle risk with ApoB and Lp(a), insulin sensitivity, inflammation and a wider nutritional picture, aimed at tracking gradual change over years rather than only flagging established disease.
Is a 100+ marker panel worth it for everyone? No. It's most useful for people who already have a solid baseline and want higher resolution on cardiovascular, metabolic and nutritional trends. Many people are better served starting with a standard panel first.
Does Longevity+ include cancer screening or biological age testing? Broad population cancer marker panels are avoided because of high false-positive rates in an asymptomatic population. Biological age scoring can be included as an interesting data point but isn't treated as a basis for medical decisions on its own.
How often should Longevity+ be repeated? This depends on your baseline results and goals, and is a discussion with your doctor. Some markers, like Lp(a), rarely need retesting, while others are more useful tracked annually.
Can Longevity+ replace imaging? No. Blood biomarkers and imaging answer different questions. Your doctor will advise whether targeted imaging, such as coronary calcium CT, adds anything beyond what the panel shows.
