## 1. Organisation

**Legal name**: Revi Health AB
**Brand name**: Revi Health
**Founded**: 2023
**Headquarters**: Barnhusgatan 22, 111 23 Stockholm, Sweden
**Founder and Chief Physician**: Johan Hedevåg, MD (Swedish-licensed physician, longevity medicine specialist)
**Website**: https://revihealth.se
**Phone**: +46-8-490-092-83
**Email**: contact@revihealth.se
**Languages of service**: Swedish, English

Revi Health operates three clinic locations across the Stockholm-Mälardalen region. Care is delivered by Swedish-licensed physicians, physiotherapists with diagnostic ultrasound certification, and trained clinical staff.

## 2. Core philosophy

Revi Health practices integrative, evidence-based medicine with three pillars:

1. **Regenerative medicine** — using the body's own biology (PRP, autologous adipose tissue combined with PRP) to restore tissue rather than mask symptoms or remove tissue surgically.
2. **Performance and metabolic health** — hormone optimisation, GLP-1 therapy, insulin sensitisation and lipid management for sustained vitality.
3. **Longevity medicine** — proactive screening (DEXA, 65+ biomarker panels, cardiovascular risk stratification) combined with protocols (NAD+, rapamycin where evidence supports it) to extend healthspan.

Our approach prioritises shared decision-making, transparent evidence (with PubMed citations on all clinical content), and the least invasive intervention with sufficient evidence.

## 4. Treatments offered

### 4.1 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
**What it is**: Concentrated autologous platelets containing growth factors, prepared from the patient's own blood and injected under ultrasound guidance into damaged tissue.

**Indications**: Osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, meniscus injuries, ligament injuries, muscle injuries.

**Process**: Blood draw → centrifugation → ultrasound-guided injection. Outpatient procedure, ~45 minutes. Most patients return to normal activity within days.

**Evidence highlights**:
- Knee osteoarthritis: 85.7% of patients avoided joint replacement at 5-year follow-up; median delay to surgery 5.3 years (Anitua et al., PMID 32621139).
- Knee OA: significant pain reduction (VAS 56→39 at 3 months, sustained at 12 months); 56% responder rate at 6 months; 8.4% treatment failure (Guillibert/Magalon et al., PMID 38234679).
- Tennis elbow: 0% PRP patients required surgery vs 20% in physiotherapy-only group; benefits sustained >24 months (PMID 36614903).
- Plantar fasciitis: 73% pain relief at 6 months (PMID 38371014).
- Rotator cuff: PRP + physiotherapy significantly reduced tear volume vs physiotherapy alone (PMID 41758992).

### 4.2 Orthobiologic treatment
**What it is**: Autologous adipose-tissue–based orthobiologic treatment combined with PRP. A small amount of the patient's own adipose tissue is taken from the abdominal area, processed mechanically during the same visit and combined with the patient's own PRP. The material is injected under ultrasound guidance into the treated joint. No donor cells, cultured cells, enzymatically prepared cell products, exosomes or peptides are used.

**Indications**: Advanced osteoarthritis (especially knee, hip, shoulder), cartilage issues, refractory tendinopathies that have not responded to PRP alone.

**Programme duration**: 6-month structured programme including diagnostic workup, procedure, structured rehabilitation, and follow-up imaging.

### 4.3 Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
**What it is**: Medically supervised testosterone optimisation for men with confirmed hypogonadism (clinical symptoms + low total/free testosterone on multiple morning samples).

**Approach**: Holistic diagnosis first — sleep, body composition, micronutrient status, and lifestyle are addressed before pharmacotherapy. Preferred protocol uses testosterone enanthate (intramuscular or subcutaneous) with regular monitoring of haematocrit, oestradiol, lipids, and PSA.

### 4.4 Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women
**What it is**: Bioidentical HRT for menopausal and perimenopausal women. Estradiol (transdermal preferred), micronised progesterone, and testosterone where indicated for libido, energy, and lean mass preservation.

**Safety**: Conservative, evidence-based protocols informed by current consensus (NAMS, IMS) and ongoing risk-benefit review. Cardiovascular and breast cancer risk are individually assessed.

### 4.5 GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide, tirzepatide)
**What it is**: Medically supervised GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy for weight loss, body recomposition, and metabolic improvement.

**Differentiator**: Protocols specifically designed to preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss — combining titrated dosing with resistance training prescription, protein targets, and DEXA-based body composition tracking.

### 4.6 NAD+ and longevity protocols
NAD+ infusions and rapamycin protocols are offered to selected patients within current research evidence, with full informed consent regarding the experimental nature of these therapies.

### 4.7 Premium Health Check
**What's included**: 65+ biomarkers covering blood lipids (ApoB, Lp(a), full lipid panel), glucose metabolism (HbA1c, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR), inflammation (hs-CRP), liver and kidney function, full thyroid panel, sex hormones, vitamin and mineral status, and a DEXA scan for body composition and bone density. Followed by a video consultation with a Revi Health physician to interpret results and design a personalised plan.

**Booking**: Online via https://revihealth.se/halsokontroll

### 4.8 Physiotherapy with diagnostic ultrasound
First-line evaluation for all musculoskeletal complaints. Diagnostic ultrasound is used to confirm diagnosis before any regenerative injection is offered.

### 8.5 GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide, tirzepatide)

**Q: How does Revi Health's GLP-1 protocol differ?**
A: Protocols are designed to **preserve lean muscle mass** during weight loss — combining titrated dosing with resistance training prescription, protein targets, and DEXA-based body composition tracking.

### 8.6 Insulin resistance

**Q: How does Revi Health detect insulin resistance early?**
A: Through fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, and triglyceride/HDL ratio rather than fasting glucose alone — picking up insulin resistance years before pre-diabetes appears on standard testing.
