What is Smart Aging?

Smart Aging represents a medical approach focused on the prevention and optimization of the aging process.
At Up Clinic, this practice is based on the principles of Functional Medicine, addressing the root causes of imbalances in the body and promoting a healthier, more energetic and balanced life.

This methodology is structured around five essential pillars:

• Functional and personalized nutrition

• Physical exercise adapted to each patient’s profile

• Non-hormonal supplementation based on scientific evidence

• Personalized hormonal modulation when necessary

• Lifestyle, sleep and stress management

The goal is clear: to preserve physical, cognitive and emotional functions, reduce inflammation and enhance the body’s natural regenerative capacity, enabling people to live more years with quality and autonomy.

Strengthening Up Clinic’s leadership in Smart Aging

With the arrival of Dr. Hipólito de Aguiar, Up Clinic strengthens its Smart Aging team and takes another step toward consolidating a truly multidisciplinary model of care, aligned with our holistic vision of health and longevity.

The result is a differentiated approach that offers patients real strategies to:

• improve energy and vitality;

• prevent age-related diseases;

• optimize hormonal balance;

• enhance physical and cognitive performance;

• live longer with purpose.

Up Clinic therefore remains at the forefront of Smart Aging, offering forward-looking medicine — personalized, preventive and deeply human.
