Healthy Ageing at SHA Wellness Clinic

custom made ageing programme

This fully customisable methodology is based on healthy nutrition, moderate and supervised physical exercise, stress management, optimisation of rest and sleep, hormonal balance, depurative (purifying and detoxing) and metabolic capacity, analysis of the non-specific and adaptive immune system and the study of genetic predispositions. 

Scientific approach

SHA innovative medical and scientific team developed preventive medicine and the coordinated fusion of new areas of knowledge, such as bioidentical hormone therapy, genomic and epigenetic counselling, telomeric and immunosenescence assessment or the application of stem cells and enriched plasma. These elements together significantly enhance the positive impact that all of them would have individually. This comprehensive approach helps to restore vitality, improve physical appearance, and optimise overall wellbeing.

Dr. Vicente Mera, European Award in Medicine in the field of anti-ageing

To learn a little bit more about this interesting matter we were able to ask Dr. Mera some questions. In 2021 Dr. Vicente Mera, head of the Genomic Medicine and Healthy Ageing Unit at SHA Wellness Clinic, received the European Award in Medicine recognising him as the best European doctor in the field of Anti-Ageing Medicine.His extensive and successful professional career is based on his total dedication to the patient, his meticulous diagnostic skills, his desire to spread the word and his talent for integrating and combining the latest protocols based on Western scientific evidence with effective therapies used for millennia by different Eastern cultures.

What makes us age more slowly and how can we improve our life expectancy? 

“In recent years, there have been major advances in various medical fields that have led to an increase in life expectancy. Among these are genetic research with new biomarkers, such as telomere length, bioidentical hormone treatments, detox, vitamin supplements and the influence of emotions and the microbiome on the ageing process".

What is healthy ageing to you?

"Healthy ageing does not only mean the absence of disease, but enjoying an optimal state of physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing at any age. We achieve this by systematically assessing and planning the ageing process which, in the long run, provides an improvement in both quality of life and life expectancy, sometimes with minimal effort.

So, it’s not just about how young we look but also about how young we feel?

“The paradigm of ageing has changed. The problem is that we tend to drive the car of ageing by looking in the rear-view mirrors rather than through the windscreen, which prevents us from seeing what lies ahead. By taking the present as our vital reference point, we think that the best is behind us. This misguided mentality makes us feel old and worn out at 50, when in fact we still have a lot to do. I always give the example of David Attenborough, the British scientist, educator, and environmentalist who, at the age of 95, is more active than ever.”
