At Kensington International Clinic, we offer a comprehensive longevity programme grounded in the latest advances in preventive medicine and epigenetic science. Far beyond standard health check-ups, our approach is built on a precise measurement of your biological age, an in-depth analysis of your key biomarkers, and personalised medical guidance over the course of several months.
Our longevity clinic is part of our private general practice at 2 North Terrace, a short walk from South Kensington and Knightsbridge. It is designed for patients who want to understand how their body is truly ageing, and take concrete steps to protect their health, energy and vitality for the long term.
What is a
longevity clinic
Training and professional registration
A longevity clinic is a medical facility specialising in preventive medicine and long-term health optimisation. Unlike conventional medicine, which typically intervenes once symptoms or illness appear, longevity medicine takes a proactive approach: it identifies biological imbalances and markers of accelerated ageing before any symptoms develop.
The concept rests on a fundamental distinction between chronological age (the number of years you have lived) and biological age (how well your body is actually functioning at a cellular level). Two people of the same age can have very different biological profiles, depending on lifestyle, genetics, nutrition, stress levels and environmental exposure.
A longevity clinic uses advanced diagnostic tools, in particular epigenetic testing, to measure biological age with precision, then builds an individualised action plan combining medical guidance, bespoke supplementation and lifestyle optimisation.
Meet Dr Emily Kara: your longevity doctor at KIC
The Kensington International Clinic longevity programme is led by Dr Emily Kara, a bilingual English/French general practitioner educated in France before reading medicine at Oxford University.
After graduating, Dr Kara trained in hospital medicine and obtained her Membership of the Royal College of Physicians, before retraining as a GP and becoming a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners. She holds a diploma from the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and is fully registered with the GMC (no. 6102278).
With over twenty years of clinical experience, Dr Kara spent more than a decade providing healthcare to English and French-speaking expatriate communities in Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore. In 2021, she was appointed Deputy Director of the Family Medicine Fellowship Program at Jiahui International Hospital, Shanghai, a role that reflects both her clinical expertise and her commitment to medical education.
She returned to London in July 2025 to join Kensington International Clinic, bringing with her a deeply international perspective on preventive care and a strong belief in continuity: knowing her patients well, over time, is the foundation of genuinely personalised medicine.
Dr Kara consults in English and French.
The longevity programme: two pathways, one ambition
The KIC longevity programme is available in two formats tailored to different needs and goals: the Gold programme (8 months) and the Platinum programme (11 months). Both share the same core philosophy: a complete, data-driven medical journey with no generic protocols and no off-the-shelf interventions.
Each programme begins with a private consultation with Dr Emily Kara. This first appointment is a thorough medical review: your personal and family medical history, your lifestyle, your priorities and your objectives. It establishes a clear longevity baseline, the starting point from which everything else is built.
Both programmes include advanced epigenetic testing (TruAge and TruHealth), AI-driven biological data analysis, a consultation with our dietician, bespoke daily supplements made in France, personalised lifestyle guidance, and follow-up consultations with your doctor.
The Platinum programme extends this further with microbiome and methylation testing, a revised supplement formulation after ten months based on new control tests, and a full eleven months of medical accompaniment.
Advanced diagnostics: TruAge and TruHealth epigenetic testing
The precision of our longevity programme rests on two world-class epigenetic tests: TruAge and TruHealth. These assessments, conducted from a simple blood draw or finger-prick sample, measure how your body is ageing at a cellular level, capturing the combined influence of lifestyle, stress, nutrition and environment.
TruAge: your biological age and the pace at which you are ageing
TruAge measures your true biological age and compares it to your chronological age. It produces a DunedinPACE score, a validated measure of how fast your body is ageing, alongside telomere length, the biological age of eleven key organ systems (heart, brain, liver, lungs, immune system and others), and risk markers linked to inflammation, lifestyle factors and long-term health outcomes.
Results are delivered digitally within three to four weeks.
TruHealth: your functional and nutritional health profile
TruHealth complements TruAge by assessing over 150 functional biomarkers and 75 nutritional and oxidative markers: vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, metabolic markers, immune and inflammatory indicators, stress and cognitive health markers, toxin exposure and cellular energy indicators.
Together, TruAge and TruHealth allow us to understand not only how you are ageing, but why. That dual insight is what makes the Kensington International Clinic approach both precise and actionable.
Results are delivered digitally within three to four weeks.
AI-driven analysis and personalisation
Toutes vos données – résultats épigénétiques, biomarqueurs sanguins, antécédents médicaux et familiaux, facteurs liés au mode de vie – sont intégrées à notre plateforme exclusive d’analyse de la longévité. Cette approche basée sur l’intelligence artificielle nous permet de croiser des informations qui, prises isolément, resteraient partielles.
Il en résulte un profil de longévité cohérent et entièrement personnalisé qui sous-tend chacune de nos recommandations. Il ne s’agit pas d’un protocole prédéfini, mais d’une stratégie conçue spécifiquement pour vous.
Bespoke supplements, formulated and produced in France
En fonction de votre profil biologique unique, notre équipe élabore un programme de compléments alimentaires quotidiens sur mesure. Ces compléments sont fabriqués en France, dans des laboratoires sélectionnés pour leurs normes de qualité rigoureuses et leur approche précise de la formulation.
Chaque formule est adaptée à vos marqueurs spécifiques d’inflammation, de métabolique, de stress et de vieillissement cellulaire. Votre diététicien(ne) vous expliquera chaque élément en détail lors d’une consultation personnalisée.
Le programme Gold comprend six mois de supplémentation personnalisée continue. Le programme Platinum comprend neuf mois, avec une reformulation complète après dix mois de tests de contrôle.
Il ne s’agit pas d’une supplémentation générique. Il s’agit d’une précision biologique appliquée à votre vie quotidienne.
Lifestyle optimisation: the pillars of lasting longevity
Longevity is not only about tests and supplements. The programme includes personalised lifestyle guidance built around five evidence-based pillars of long-term health.
- Nutrition and metabolic support: targeted dietary adjustments, aligned with your biological results and your dietician’s recommendations.
- Sleep quality: analysis of your sleep patterns with practical recommendations to optimise recovery and cellular regeneration.
- Stress management: concrete strategies to reduce the biological markers of chronic stress, one of the best-documented accelerators of ageing.
- Physical activity and recovery: a programme adapted to your biological profile and personal goals.
- Mindfulness and cognitive health: validated approaches to preserve brain function over the long term.
All recommendations are realistic, practical and designed to fit around an active life.
Ongoing medical support: longevity is a journey, not a one-off assessment
The longevity programme does not end with the delivery of results. It includes regular follow-up consultations with Dr Emily Kara, at three months and six months for the Gold programme, and at several stages across eleven months for the Platinum programme.
These appointments allow us to track the evolution of your biological markers, refine your supplement formulation and lifestyle recommendations, and continuously strengthen your long-term longevity strategy.
The Platinum programme includes new control tests after ten months, enabling a data-driven reformulation of your supplementation based on updated biological results.
What benefits can I expect?
La médecine de la longévité agit sur des processus biologiques profonds. Les résultats varient selon le profil, mais les patients constatent régulièrement un ralentissement mesurable du vieillissement biologique, une amélioration des performances des principaux systèmes organiques, un regain d’énergie et de résistance, une meilleure clarté cognitive et une optimisation durable de leur santé globale.
De nombreux patients constatent une amélioration de cinq à dix ans de leur âge biologique après un programme complet.

Frequently asked questions
What is a longevity clinic and what does it do?
A longevity clinic is a medical facility focused on preventive medicine and long-term health optimisation. Rather than treating illness reactively, it uses advanced diagnostics, including epigenetic testing, to measure your biological age and identify imbalances before symptoms appear, then builds a personalised health strategy to slow ageing and improve healthspan.
Is this different from a standard private health check-up?
Yes.
A standard health check-up captures a snapshot of your health at a given moment. Our longevity programme measures your biological age, the speed at which you are ageing and the functional health of your key organ systems, then builds a personalised action plan supported by medical follow-up over several months.
