Your MRI showed minor disc bulging in the lower spine without evidence of nerve involvement. This is a frequent, non-concerning finding. Let’s focus on regular strengthening of the back and core muscles, which is often beneficial for spinal support.

Summary

Dr. Olivio Donati

Hello Tom,
Your recent health check-up provides a detailed overview of your health, showing some very positive developments alongside a few areas that warrant attention. The most notable findings are related to age-appropriate wear-and-tear in your spine. The MRI shows disc bulges in your neck and lower back, with one in your lower back causing a moderate narrowing of the spinal canal, which can sometimes affect nerves. Your blood tests indicate a persistent elevation in a type of white blood cell called eosinophils, which can be a sign of an allergic or inflammatory process, and may be linked to fluid seen in the air cells behind your ears. We also noted a mild reduction in your kidney filtration rate, which often

Hello Tom,


Your recent health check-up provides a detailed overview of your health, showing some very positive developments alongside a few areas that warrant attention. The most notable findings are related to age-appropriate wear-and-tear in your spine. The MRI shows disc bulges in your neck and lower back, with one in your lower back causing a moderate narrowing of the spinal canal, which can sometimes affect nerves. Your blood tests indicate a persistent elevation in a type of white blood cell called eosinophils, which can be a sign of an allergic or inflammatory process, and may be linked to fluid seen in the air cells behind your ears. We also noted a mild reduction in your kidney filtration rate, which often varies and can be influenced by factors like hydration. On a very positive note, your results show excellent improvements in your metabolic health. Your blood sugar and cholesterol values are now in an ideal range, which is a wonderful achievement and greatly benefits your cardiovascular health. Furthermore, your body composition is outstanding, with very low levels of abdominal and liver fat. Other findings, such as small, simple cysts in your liver, are common and not a cause for concern. You will find more details on all these points in the full report below.

As a medical doctor, I was extra curious how Ahead would handle the nuances in the report. The longevity field is progressing very fast, so finding the scientific sweet spot - while also making it understandable for normal people - is hard. They did an excellent job, also in the questions I asked the team later.

Flew to Zürich to get Ahead's MRI + blood test. Both Ahead's team and the partner's were super professional, and guided me step-by-step through the experience. The scan was short, blood draw uneventful, and I was in time to make my plane back. I really liked the report itself: simple to understand, with enough actual clinical depth.

Frequently

asked questions

Frequently

asked questions

Can I eat or drink on the day of my test?

To ensure the most precise results, we ask you to fast for at least 8 hours (no food or drinks other than water) and avoid strenuous exercise before your exam if you chose for a blood test.

Please make sure to stay sufficiently hydrated and to drink 2-3 glasses before your exam.

Do I need a referral for an Ahead test?

No, you do not need a referral for the Ahead tests. You can request an appointment independently. Please note that we may need to assess your eligibility for some tests.

You can book your appointment online through our website, which features a real-time calendar, or by contacting us via WhatsApp or phone.

Do you offer a couples discount, and how does it work?

Yes. If you and your partner each book and complete an MRI-based check-up within the same month, you both receive CHF 250 off (CHF 500 total).

You and your partner book separately and can each choose any MRI-based package. In the final step of the booking, please mention the name of your partner in the notes field, so we can link the two appointments. Once both scans have been completed, the discount will be deducted from your final invoices.

If you prefer, our team is happy to help coordinate everything for you, just contact us.


Do you work with employer programmes?

Whether the screening can be reimbursed through your employer depends on the agreements your company has in place. Some employers offer health programs or subsidies that may cover the Ahead screening.

It is recommended to check with your employer.

Does my health insurance cover the costs?

Supplementary health insurers may cover part of the cost for our full-body check-ups.

For example, KPT’s supplementary "Pulse Top" & "Pulse Premium" insurance reimburses up to 1'500 CHF of the costs for our MRI-packages.

The exact cost contribution depends on your provider and specific plan. We are happy to support you in clarifying cost coverage with your insurance, just contact us.

I am a practitioner, how can I refer my patients to Ahead?

As a healthcare professional, you can inform your patients about the Ahead program. We are happy to supply you with additional materials if needed.

Patients can book an appointment independently.

If you need assistance with patient referrals please contact us or email us at get@aheadhealth.com.

Is the MRI scan performed with contrast agents or radiation?

The full-body MRI scan included in the Ahead check-up is performed without the use of contrast agents and is radiation-free.

If you opt for certain additional specific tests, these may involve a very low dose of radiation or contrast agents.

You can book a free consultation call with us before scheduling your scan to discuss any personal needs, anxieties or questions.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available a few days after the check-up.

You will receive an email notification including a link and instructions to securely access your results in the web portal.
