<\/p>\n

Modern medical science has proven that it is possible to keep people alive for longer; often into digits beyond 80 . . . 90 . . . 100 years old.<\/h2>\n

While we know that it\u2019s medically possible to live for longer, we\u2019re here to consider what living better <\/em>for longer looks like. What is the difference between lifespan and healthspan?<\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019re examining the differences between lifespan and healthspan and sharing our outlook at The Maas Clinic.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between lifespan and healthspan?<\/h2>\n

Lifespan<\/strong> refers to the chronological amount – quantity – <\/em>of time someone lives for.<\/p>\n

Healthspan<\/strong> refers to the quality<\/em> of health an individual experiences during the years that they live for.<\/p>\n

Here at The Maas Clinic, we focus on the quality of health and life our clients experience. We want our clients to live their very best, most vibrant years for as long as possible, free of disease and ailments. We are focused on healthspan as much as lifespan.<\/p>\n

Genetics<\/h2>\n

One of the key factors in our approach to healthspan at The Maas Clinic is helping our clients to optimise their genetic programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases, we complete genetic testing as standard. This gives us a blueprint to our clients\u2019 DNA and allows us to identify strengths and weaknesses. <\/span><\/p>\n

We can then use epigenetics – lifestyle adjustments and supplements – and nutrigenomics – diet – to optimise our clients\u2019 gene expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read more about maximising your genetic programming here<\/i><\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Knowing an individual\u2019s exact DNA blueprint gives us a major helping hand when it comes to working on their healthspan. Using epigenetics and nutrigenomics, we can create a treatment programme which fine-tunes their health in the long run, avoiding\u2014as best they can\u2014inherited diseases and illnesses. <\/span><\/p>\n

As our founder Laurens Maas shares:<\/strong> \u201cwith the advance of genetic testing, we\u2019ve been able to take our clients\u2019 treatment programmes from \u2018Harrods\u2019 to \u2018Saville Row\u2019. Our programmes were already great but now they\u2019re bespoke to a higher level. Similarly to a suit fitting, I like to see my clients 2 – 4 x a year to ensure that their programme \u2018fit\u2019 is still working for them. We make alterations as and when needed to maintain a perfect fit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAha\u201d Moments<\/span><\/h2>\n

An example of an \u201caha\" moment\u2019 at The Maas Clinic using genetics: one client was complaining of weight gain following an outdoors activity holiday. Logically, if anything, this client should have lost weight due to increased activity. Instead, they returned from their trip heavier and feeling demoralised because of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to genetic testing our team was able to identify that our client has a gene which operates best at Ocean-level where oxygen levels are highest. By embarking on an outdoors holiday which included mountain treks – where oxygen levels are low – it triggered an immune response and metabolic syndrome… thus causing the weight gain. <\/span>\u201cAha!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Once we know about gene code errors such as this one, we\u2019re able to advise our clients using epigenetics and nutrigenomics on how to improve their gene expression. This can help to mitigate the advent of things like weight gain and other undesirable symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve long thought of ourselves as \u2018health detectives\u2019. Genetic testing allows us to hone the skill further and implement adjustments to improve our clients\u2019 healthspan in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 ageing accelerants to know about<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to an individual\u2019s unique genetic makeup, there are a number of universal ageing accelerants to know about, including the three below:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

<\/div>
\n\n \"\" <\/div>\n
<\/div>
<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 'Sugarification\u2019<\/h2>\n

NB: this is a term our founder Laurens has coined! It describes the advent of sugar in the modern food chain, a move away from natural organic soil and a move towards monoculture farming.<\/p>\n

Increased consumption of sugar and nutrient-poor food can contribute to the development of metabolic syndromes including heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and blood pressure issues. All of these can have a negative impact not only on healthspan but lifespan too.<\/p>\n

So, what can you do to mitigate this? Focus on nutrient-rich food and buy organic food wherever possible. Why eat organic? The quality of the soil determines the quality of the crop and the quality of the crop determines the quality of the health for the human that\u2019s consuming it. It\u2019s circular!<\/p>\n

Here at The Maas Clinic, we help our clients to focus on foods which work harmoniously with their unique biochemistry and genetic makeup.<\/p>\n

2. Leaky gut<\/h2>\n

Leaky gut is a colloquial term for a small intestine which isn\u2019t working properly and is spilling proteins and other nutrients prematurely into the blood stream. The medical term for \u2018leaky gut\u2019 is intestinal permeability.<\/p>\n

Intestinal permeability occurs when the barrier of the small intestine has been breached. This breach may be down to bacteria drilling down into the pipe\u2019s barrier, or fungus rooting down into the substrata.<\/p>\n

Leaky gut has been linked to illnesses including Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia, both of which limit healthspan as well as lifespan.<\/p>\n

What can you do if you think you may have leaky gut? Intestinal permeability is a common condition we treat people for at The Maas Clinic.<\/p>\n

As with all of our clients\u2019 problems, we aim to get to the root cause of a person\u2019s \u2018leaky gut\u2019, in order to devise a treatment programme which promotes good long-term health. In the case of \u2018leaky guts\u2019, we remove any bugs which are causing the membrane breach, replace missing enzymes in the small intestine, and repair the colonic membrane.<\/p>\n

We make sure that our clients\u2019 pipe is sealed and working properly again, thus improving their healthspan.<\/p>\n

3. Premature frailty<\/h2>\n

Loss of confidence, vitality and premature frailty are common indicators of accelerated ageing. Rather than thinking less about health as we age, it\u2019s important to invest more time in healthy habits and support where needed.<\/p>\n

As our founder Laurens Maas shares: \u201cas you age, it is really important to look after your diet, nutrition, regular exercise and the core pillars of health. Hormones too play a huge role; are you stressed? Have you experienced stress in your life? If so, have you ever done the work to get over the stress? A lot of people experience stress in their lives and never address it. Chronic stress can exasperate the adrenal glands, leading to autoimmune conditions and a lacklustre approach to life. Thus increasing the likelihood of premature frailty.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the answer to tackling premature frailty? Don\u2019t give up on feeling great! Investing time and effort into your health is worth it. We know it to be true and our clients know it too.<\/p>\n

Remember: we are thinking about your healthspan and quality <\/em>of life. Not just your age.<\/p>\n

The Roundabout Theory<\/h2>\n

As Lifecode shared in a 2021 Methylation Report<\/a>: \u201cMethylation, also referred to as one carbon metabolism, is a process by which methyl groups are added to molecules. It is involved in almost every biochemical reaction in the body, occurring billions of times every second in our cells and contributing to numerous essential bodily functions, including: detoxification, immune function, DNA integrity, regulation of gene expression, energy production, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation control and telomere protection (ageing).\u201d<\/p>\n

Anything which hinders methylation, such as missing or inefficient co-factors, can contribute to disease and chronic illness.<\/p>\n

When we use epigenetics, we are trying to ensure the very best methylation, so that the body can experience optimal health.<\/p>\n

The \u2018<\/span>roundabout theory\u2019 <\/span>allows us to demonstrate
how 5 \u2018<\/span>methylation roundabouts\u2019 <\/span>play an instrumental role in this.<\/h2>\n

The methylation sub-cycles (i.e. roundabouts) are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/p>\n

1.<\/h2>\n

The Folate Cycle – Energy \/ Immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

This gives the body the ability to absorb folate B9 to start the process of methylation and detox and to produce healthy red blood cells.<\/p>\n

Co-factors include: Vitamin B3, B6, B9 and Folate.<\/p>\n

2.<\/h2>\n

The Methionine Cycle – Repair \/ Rebuild<\/strong><\/p>\n

This occurs in the liver and ensures proteins can change into different useful protein tools for detox, digestion and repair.<\/p>\n

Co-factors include: Magnesium, Betaine, Choline, Zinc, 5-MTHF and Methylated B12<\/p>\n

3.<\/h2>\n

The Transsulphuration Pathway \u2013 Detoxing \/ Body function<\/strong><\/p>\n

This process builds detox proteins, helps control the sulphur balance in the body and is critical for optimal cellular function throughout the body.<\/p>\n

Co-factors include: Molybdenum, B6, B12 and Glutathione<\/p>\n

4.<\/h2>\n

The BH4 Cycle\/Neurotransmitter Metabolism \u2013 Mood \/ Stress management<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cycle helps create neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, Dopomine supporting our ability to detox from stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n

Co-factors include: Folate, 5-MTHF, 5HTP, Vitamin D and SAMe<\/p>\n

5.<\/h2>\n

The Urea Cycle \u2013 Elimination \/ Oxygenation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The process allows the body to eliminate toxic ammonia, and waste, supports the regulation of blood pressure and improves heart and blood circulation.<\/p>\n

Co-factors include: BH4, Folate, Vitamin C and L-Citrulline.<\/p>\n

A reminder: Co-factors are your \u2018helper molecules\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll see from the overview below, many co-factors need to operate well, in order for each roundabout to \u2018flow\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s comparable to roundabouts and car traffic. Imagine five roundabouts along one road, if the traffic is moving well then the roundabouts will continue to operate traffic-free and without accidents. If the drivers are driving erratically, or there\u2019s no driver at all(!), the cars will likely crash and the efficiency of the roundabouts will be stunted. The same is true of the methylation \u2018roundabouts\u2019. The correct co-factors are needed to keep them flowing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to read more on this subject, we recommend diving into the 2021 Lifecode Methylation Report<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s never too late to embark on healthy habits!<\/h2>\n

Each day counts. Each month counts. Each year counts. The sooner you embark on healthy habits the more rewards you\u2019ll reap as you progress through life.<\/p>\n

Here at The Maas Clinic, we know for a fact that having a good balance of physical and mental health leads to good levels of serotonin (a \u2018happy hormone\u2019), which in turn helps people to feel more content within themselves.<\/p>\n

You do not need to live your life passively. If you want to mitigate disease and focus on your healthspan, now<\/em> is the time to take charge.<\/p>\n
