Five questions before you trust a clinic 五问选机构——把指南交到你手里

Longevity medicine is young and quality varies widely. GHP turns "how professionals do it" into six open guides (five process + one cross-cutting) — you don't need medical training; start with these five questions. Only institutions that answer well deserve your trust.

Q1INQUIRY

How do you find my causes?你们怎么找我的原因？

"Was my condition asked, measured, or inferred? Can you draw the causal chain?"

A good answer includes a full history (family, lifestyle, environment — ideally integrating Western and TCM inquiry) and a written inference chain tracing your phenotype back to candidate root causes.

Red flag: three minutes of "what bothers you?" followed by a package pitch — that's sales, not inquiry.

Q2MEASUREMENT

How do you measure my aging?你们怎么测我的衰老？

"Is my biological age measured at the molecular level, or estimated from a questionnaire? How will you re-test?"

A good answer: at least one molecular measurement (e.g. a DNA methylation clock); re-tests on the same platform and assay, spaced by biological lag — never arbitrary two-week gaps.

Red flag: a routine physical plus a calculated "physiological age" — that's an estimate, not a measurement.

Q3ATTRIBUTION

Does the report explain why?报告只说指标高低吗？

"Which functional chain does this abnormality belong to? What upstream root cause might drive it? What's measured vs inferred?"

A good answer: a causal storyline; root-cause positioning at the root-cause layer (hallmarks of aging direction); measured and inferred clearly separated; a re-test roadmap attached.

Red flag: line-by-line "↑ recheck advised" — that's a lab report read-aloud, not interpretation.

Q4INTERVENTION

Is the plan a bundle or a prescription?方案是套餐还是处方？

"Of these eight items, which treat the root and which the symptom? What should each change? Are there too many to tell apart?"

A good answer: layer-labelled interventions (root/function/phenotype), each bound to an explicit goal, one theme per cycle, expectations registered at issuance — so review is possible later.

Red flag: a giant supplement bundle — everything included means nothing works.

Q5REVIEW

Can you tell what worked?改善之后，说得出是谁的功劳吗？

"At the three-month re-test, can you tell me which interventions contributed, with what confidence, and what remains unexplained?"

A good answer: contribution decomposition with confidence grading; unexplained changes reported honestly; findings roll into the next cycle's theme.

Red flag: "our program made everything better" — without attribution, that's feeling, not evidence.

One sentence to remember

Trace the cause, measure at the molecular level, read the story, treat the root, prove what worked — and infer with integrity.
溯到源、测得准、读得懂、治得本、说得清、推得诚。
