At Waterfront Medical in Cape Town, we believe that longevity is about more than just living longer – it’s about living a longer, healthier and more meaningful life.

We aim to help you not only live longer but live better, with improved physical and mental well-being that allows you to enjoy a high quality of life at every stage.

​

Our approach to longevity combines the latest scientific insights with personalized care.

What Does Longevity Mean?

Longevity is often defined as the ability to live a long life, but true longevity goes beyond just the number of years we live. It’s about the quality of those years – how well we maintain our health and vitality as we age. In today’s world, longevity is increasingly being understood as a combination of science, lifestyle, and proactive health management. It’s not just about avoiding disease but rather improving our overall health and well-being to ensure we live life to the fullest for as long as possible.

 

In the context of our services, longevity means achieving a balanced, healthy lifestyle that supports long-term vitality. We aim to help you reach optimal health at every stage of life by focusing on your body’s unique needs. By incorporating the latest medical research and therapies, such as stem cell treatments and personalized wellness programs, we help you enhance your health span – the years of life in which you can thrive. This is not just about surviving; it’s about flourishing and being the healthiest, happiest version of yourself for as long as possible.

The Role of Integrative Medicine in Longevity

Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical practices with alternative and complementary therapies. It focuses on treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just addressing isolated symptoms or conditions.

 

At Waterfront Medical, we incorporate integrative medicine into our longevity programs to help you achieve optimal health by addressing all aspects of well-being. By combining the latest medical treatments with natural therapies, we ensure a comprehensive approach to health that enhances your longevity.

Cutting-edge Treatments for Longevity

At Waterfront Medical, we stay at the forefront of medical science to offer our clients the most advanced treatments for longevity. Our approach goes beyond traditional methods, incorporating cutting-edge therapies that aim to repair, regenerate, and enhance your body’s natural capabilities. These treatments are designed to improve your health span, boost energy, promote tissue regeneration, and optimize physical and mental well-being.

 

Some of the advanced treatments we offer include:

 

  • Stem Cell Therapy: Stem cells are the body’s building blocks, with the potential to repair and regenerate damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy can help rejuvenate muscles, joints, and organs, promoting healing and enhancing overall vitality.

  • NAD+ Therapy: NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital molecule that supports energy production and cellular repair. As we age, NAD+ levels decrease, which can contribute to fatigue and cellular dysfunction. NAD+ drips and supplements can help replenish these levels, improve cellular health, and enhance longevity.

  • Peptide therapy: peptides are chains of proteins that have an effect on hormone systems on the body, resulting in improved muscle building and recovery, deep sleep, reduces fat and improved skin elasticity and health.

 

These treatments, combined with a personalized wellness plan, provide a comprehensive approach to maintaining your health and vitality as you age. By incorporating these cutting-edge therapies, we help you achieve better health and a higher quality of life.

Tailored Programs to Achieve Optimal Health

Achieving optimal health and longevity requires a personalized approach, as no two individuals are the same. At Waterfront Medical, we believe that every person’s health journey is unique, which is why we develop tailored wellness programs that are designed to meet your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. Through the comprehensive assessments listed above (evaluations of metabolic health, body composition, physical capacity and carbohydrate tolerance) we create a program that addresses your current health status and helps you reach your full potential.

 

Our tailored programs include a range of interventions and strategies aimed at improving your overall well-being. As mentioned, we use an online application that synthesizes all your information and helps us create programs and goals for you, such as; 

 

  • Fitness and Strength Training: Structured fitness plans focused on enhancing cardiovascular health, flexibility, strength, and endurance.

  • Nutritional Plans: Diets designed to promote optimal health, muscle mass building, and weight management, while supporting long-term vitality.

  • Supplementation: Recommendations for supplements like NAD, which support energy production and cellular repair, as well as muscle mass-building supplements and longevity-promoting nutrients.

  • Sleep and Stress Management: Guidance on improving sleep quality and managing stress to ensure emotional well-being and enhance recovery, both of which are vital for longevity.

  • Cutting-edge Therapies: Incorporation of the latest treatments such as stem cell therapy, NAD+ and peptide therapy to boost cellular health, repair tissue, and improve overall vitality.

​

Each program is continuously monitored and adjusted to ensure it aligns with your health progress. With our tailored approach, we empower you to take control of your health and achieve lasting improvements in both physical and mental well-being, ultimately enhancing your longevity and quality of life.

How we assess your Metabolic Health, Functional Capacity and Body Composition

One of the first steps in optimizing your health span is assessing your metabolic health. Metabolic health refers to the efficiency of your body’s processes that convert food into energy, regulate blood sugar, and manage fat storage. Poor metabolic health can lead to chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, which can negatively impact your longevity. At Waterfront Medical, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your metabolic health and identify any areas for improvement, allowing us to create a personalized health plan tailored to your unique needs.

 

In addition to metabolic health, we assess your functional capacity—your body’s ability to perform physical tasks. By measuring key indicators such as VO2max (cardiovascular fitness), grip strength, core strength, leg strength and flexibility - we can identify areas for improvement and design a fitness program that enhances your physical performance, quality of life and longevity. 

 

A focus on both metabolic health and functional capacity ensures that you are not only living longer but also living better, with the energy and strength to enjoy life to the fullest.

Assessment of carbohydrate Tolerance

At Waterfront Medical, we help assess your carbohydrate tolerance through the use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) + genetic testing (if feasible for the patient). CGM gives us a continuous 24-hour stream of your glucose measurements, which can help you as the patient become aware of how foods are affecting your blood glucose.

 

With this information, we can help you make better choices, resulting in a more stable, healthy blood glucose – reducing your risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Body Composition and Muscle Mass Building for Longevity

One of the key factors in promoting longevity and health span is maintaining a healthy body composition. As we age, the body naturally loses muscle mass and gains fat, which can negatively impact metabolism, mobility, and overall well-being.

 

Preserving and building muscle mass is essential for long-term health, as it helps maintain strength, improves metabolic function, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

 

At Waterfront Medical, we assess your body composition using our in-body scanner, which gives us information on your muscle mass and distribution, central and visceral fat, and BMI.
