People often assume that their genes play a defining role in their health but research shows that as much as 80% of your health risks revolve around your lifestyle. Lifestyle is a broad concept but for Ancora it includes what you eat, the way you live, how active you are, your wellbeing and how you manage stress.
In a 2018 study, an international group of researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that adopting a simple set of healthy habits could extend life expectancy by 14 years for women and by 12 years for men. These include eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, keeping a healthy body weight, not drinking too much alcohol, and not smoking.
The challenge is to put these actions into practice and incorporate them into our daily routines sustainably.
We use the Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire to gather information about the key aspects of your lifestyle. We blend your answers together with the data coming from your biomarkers and the measurements captured during your Personal Onboarding with us, giving you a precise analysis of what is driving your health.
In your Personal Health Passport, you’ll find clear actions tailored to your lifestyle. Key areas of focus include:
As part of your Insight & Action Session, a sports doctor will spend time to help you identify all the lifestyle-related areas you might want to include in your action plan.

There is no magic, one-size-fits-all diet for long-term health and wellbeing. Based on a comprehensive analysis of your current health and possible future health risks we guide you to make informed carbohydrate, protein, fat, water, and salt choices. Measures we take into account include your blood pressure, strength, and a range of health factors that can be proactively managed through your nutrition choices.
During your Personal Onboarding with us we perform a body composition analysis to measure your basal metabolic rate, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and fat distribution. We take these insights and your physical goals into account to curate a body recomposition action plan for you. Achieving body recomposition is a combination of precise energy balance, making measured macronutrient choices, and being physically active.

There are aspects of your health that need a multi-faceted approach. Examples include cortisol and testosterone imbalances. By combining nutrition, physical activity, mindfulness and stress management and rest, we help you take control of vital aspects of your health, wellbeing and performance.
Being active is an effective way to maintain your health and wellbeing: this doesn’t always have to be exercise – it could be anything you do in your day-to-day life like running errands or doing housework. Aerobic activities raise your heart rate and breathing rate: these can be sports or events, but also brisk walks in the park, riding your bike to work, or even dancing! Bone and muscle strengthening might conjour up the image of a gym, but you could also do plenty of work at home using your body weight – e.g. using elastic bands or suspension training . You could even use the outdoor gyms at public parks. Your focus should be on stimulating your muscles by lifting weight.
Micronutrients are fundamental to good health. Many vitamins support your body’s vital processes including energy metabolism, which is the way you generate energy. Minerals are also key to your health – both for your daily activity and for reaching peak performance. Iron for oxygen transport and calcium for bone strength are just two examples of powerful minerals we help you regulate.
