To what extent do genetics play a role in our ability to live a long healthy life? It is one of the many questions that doctors at the Swiss medical spa, Clinique La Prairie (CLP), consider when assessing someone's state of health and potential longevity. 

The clinic adopts a holistic approach to wellbeing - balancing the impact of inherited predispositions to certain conditions, the role of epigenetics - the environment we live in - along with lifestyle factors that also have a powerful impact.

To explore these and other issues, LLAMA's Peter Bowes traveled to Montreux in Switzerland to meet CLP's Medical Director, Dr Adrian Heini.
