This page promotes the MMC Longevity Club — a private membership for longevity wellness, advisory, and lifestyle services. It is NOT covered by Canadian public health insurance (MSP) and does NOT replace your family physician or the public-care system. Specific medical aesthetic and functional-medicine procedures referenced here are delivered independently by partner clinics (RAAC and MMC Wellness Group) under standard Canadian regulatory care; members receive scheduling and coordination support only. Medical services are not part of membership and are billed separately at the standard rate.
