Stacks vs Protocols

Stacking Therapies for Better Results

At Longevity HQ, one therapy session can deliver remarkable results however when you stack therapies in a single visit, or commit to a protocol over time, the benefits can be amplified significantly. Think of it as creating harmony between advanced technologies and timeless practices, with each modality enhancing the effects of the next.

In this article, we’ll explain the difference between stacks and protocols, and share some of our favourite combinations to help you get the most out of your visits.

Stacks vs Protocols | What’s the Difference?

  • Stack: A curated combination of therapies in a single visit, designed to deliver immediate, enhanced results. Stacks are great for people wanting a powerful “reset” in just one single visit.

 

  • Protocol: A structured, longer term plan where therapies are scheduled consistently over weeks or months. Protocols help you reach and maintain specific goals such as improved energy, enhanced recovery, or resilience to stress.
