General internal medicine at OVI CLINIC is based on the idea that preventing illness is as essential as treating it. That’s why we offer in-depth medical check-ups tailored to age, history and lifestyle, to anticipate metabolic, cardiovascular or immune disorders before they appear clinically.
Our doctors complement this approach with validated methods:
- Micronutrition and personalized advice to support metabolic balance.
- Specific metabolic infusions (antioxidants, vitamins, trace elements), integrated into a strategy to support immunity and vitality.
- Therapeutic education to promote patient autonomy and actively involve them in managing their own health.
This integrative, preventive vision combines cutting-edge science with human support, with a clear objective: to preserve health, slow down pathological aging and optimize healthy longevity (healthspan).
