Rio adopts a responsible and evidence-based approach to longevity. While lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise, stress management, sleep) are foundational, certain scientifically-backed medications or supplements may be considered as part of a personalised plan to support healthy aging.
However, these are never a replacement for a healthy lifestyle. Our qualified team will conduct a thorough assessment of your individual health profile to determine if any medications or supplements are appropriate, carefully weighing potential benefits and risks. We prioritise your safety and will only recommend interventions that are supported by credible scientific evidence.
Rio's approach to longevity may involve prescription medications, carefully selected and administered according to evidence-backed protocols. Our longevity health professional will evaluate your health needs and eligibility to determine if these medications can be incorporated into your personalised health protocol to optimise your healthspan.
Rio personalises to you by analysing your genetics, hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle to understand how your body uniquely works. This starts with an online consultation where we understand your lifestyle, health history and goals to determine the most suitable solution for you. This information is then used to create a tailored plan with specific recommendations for food, exercise, and other lifestyle factors.

The results you can achieve vary from person to person. Remember that healthy weight loss is gradual. We promote healthy weight loss solutions that build long terms healthy habits using mindset, nutrition and exercise for continued success. In a 2022 study* of over 2,500 participants, the average weight loss after 72 weeks with the GLP-1/GIP medication reached 20.9%. Impressively, 90.9% of participants achieved at least 5% weight loss, 83.5% achieved at least 10%, and 56.7% achieved at least 20% during the same period. These results demonstrate the significant weight loss potential of this treatment.
