The Nara Assessment: where your longevity strategy begins.
Most clinics start with a prescription. Nara Longevity starts by understanding you. Before we recommend anything, we measure where your body stands today and define exactly what you want to achieve.

Our medical team measures four things and explains what each one is for:
- Body composition scan. Using DEXA or similar body composition technology, we measure what your body is made of: how much is muscle, how much is fat, and how much is the visceral fat stored around your organs, and with DEXA, your bone density. Your weight on a scale can’t tell you any of this. Muscle and visceral fat are among the clearest markers of how well you’re aging, which is why body composition is a starting point of every Nara Longevity plan.
- Blood biomarkers. A comprehensive panel covering your hormones, metabolism, inflammation and nutrition. It shows what’s happening inside your body, often before you can feel it.
- VO2 max. The maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise, measured while you walk or run on a treadmill or ride a bike wearing a light mask. It’s one of the strongest signals of long-term health, and it tells us how to build your training and track your progress.
- Your goals. Together, we define what you want to achieve, from more energy and better sleep to a stronger body or renewed confidence, so every measurement has a purpose.
Your team may also recommend additional tests for a more personalized analysis.
