BLU's 3x5 Approach to Optimize Healthspan
We believe in a holistic and proactive approach to health and longevity. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, we aim to help you build a foundation for a thriving life. Our exclusive 3x5 Approach is designed to optimize well-being by addressing what truly matters for long-term health.
Our Methodology
In order to strategically empower individuals to thrive with purpose and longevity, we focus on three key areas: advancing health and wellness; identifying and managing risk; and measuring and maximizing vitality.
The 5 Drivers of Health and Wellness
A thriving life requires balance across all aspects of well-being. Our 5 Drivers of Health and Wellness: Personal, Community, Physical, Nutritional, and Spiritual provide a holistic foundation for longevity. By aligning your purpose, fostering connections, optimizing movement, refining nutrition, and nurturing mindfulness, we create a personalized path to sustained health and vitality. By optimizing these five areas, we help you create a life filled with health, energy, and purpose.
The 5 Top Risks – Personalized for You
Prevention is key to longevity. Instead of waiting for problems to arise, our team of Longevity Medicine experts gathers all your health information and, powered by AI, creates your 5 Top Risks to healthspan—personalized to your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals. This facilitates prioritization, allowing us to target key areas, optimize long-term health, and prevent chronic conditions before they start.
The 5 Vitality Measures – Your Baseline for Thriving
Cutting-edge technology meets precision health. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we assess five key vitality measures—modifiable performance indicators most strongly correlated with longevity. This evidence-based approach to longevity medicine provides a personalized baseline to build upon. With these insights, we craft a tailored plan to optimize your health, extend your ThriveYears, and help you perform at your peak for longer.
Your Health, Elevated
Our approach goes beyond traditional care; it’s about transformation and living with purpose. By focusing on the 5 Drivers of Health and Wellness, identifying key risks, and leveraging advanced technology to measure vitality, we empower you to take control of your health and unlock your full potential.
