QUIRÓNSALUD Marbella Hospital has launched its new Microbiota and Longevity Unit, a service that combines prevention, health promotion, and optimisation to maximise vitality and quality of life for individuals.
The new unit will address potential health issues in a holistic way and before they occur.
“The creation of this new unit is an important step for me both personally and professionaly. It is the culmination of years of research, training, and clinical experience integrating disciplines such as epigenetics, microbiota, healthy longevity, and regenerative medicine,” explains Dr. Mayca González, head of the new Microbiota and Longevity Unit at Quirónsalud Marbella Hospital.
Medicine of the Four “P’s”.
The centre adopts a care model based on what Dr. González defines as the four “P’s”: personalised, predictive, preventive, and participatory.
“We do not only want to treat disease; we also want to prevent it and optimise health and aging at the source. We use advanced tools to achieve this goal, such as functional analyses, genomic studies and evidence-based integrated protocols.
Key Pillars of Detoxification and Microbiota
One of the key focuses of the unit is the study of the intestinal microbiota, which is increasingly recognised as ‘an invisible organ’ that regulates digestion, immunity, inflammation, detoxification, and even mood. “When the microbiota is balanced, the body functions harmoniously, but if disrupted, it can trigger a domino effect that affects the skin, immune system, metabolism, or even the brain,” Dr. González emphasises.
In addition to microbiota, this unit also addresses the detoxification process. González clarifies the difference from passing trends: “We’re not talking about miracle shakes, but rather the natural enzymatic processes our bodies perform to eliminate internal and external toxins. We determine the patient’s true detoxification capability and create protocols based upon functional nutrition, antioxidants, and micronutrients.
The unit is a combination of aesthetic medicine and precision medical to produce safer, more lasting, and more natural outcomes. Laser, fillers or mesotherapy will not work the same on skin that is inflamed or has nutritional deficiencies. With personalised analyses, tissue healing is improved, treatments are more efficient, and complications can be reduced.
“What’s good inside is reflected on the outside: in healthy skin, a strong immune system, and a balanced metabolism,” summarises Dr. González.
The new unit will coordinate with other specialties, such as Dermatology and Gynecology. It’s about working with others. “Our goal is to have the patient stop going from one consultation to another with partial answers, and find in our unit an integrated, coherent and personalized view of their own health”, highlights the doctor.
