SM-Clinic and an anxiety-free check-up: the philosophy of the body inspired by da Vinci

      On July 30 the PARK orangery-restaurant became a place where the boundaries between science, art and personal wellbeing blurred. On that day self-care sounded anew — deep, intellectual, refined. The immersive event "Energy of Youth. The Health Code", organized by SM-Clinic together with the TV channel LisChannel, turned the medical agenda into a cultural gesture.

      The inspiration was Leonardo da Vinci — a figure in whom precision, beauty, philosophy and a passion for life intertwined. It was no accident that his image greeted guests: an actor in the role of the Master escorted each person on a personal journey — inward. The space was divided into two conceptual zones. The "Mind Station" offered intellectual duels — a trainer for attention and curiosity. The "Choice Station" turned each guest into the hero of their own dilemma: impulse or balance? The experience concluded with a message received in Latin — not as an antiquarian ritual, but as a point of fixation for one’s inner state.

      Arguably, Da Vinci himself would have appreciated the start of the day: the performance by illusionist Aleksey Mikhailov was less a show than a philosophical statement. Illusion, as part of perception, served as a reminder that our view of reality is fragile. And it is awareness that brings us closer to the authentic. It wasn’t about deceit, but about attention — to details, to oneself, to the moment. After that came three presentations by doctors, delivered like intimate lectures, or even dialogues with the soul. Marina Dzidzaria, an endocrinologist, dietitian and Candidate of Medical Sciences, spoke of inner energy as a resource that requires love and discipline. Not a word about diagnoses — only the language of rhythms, signals and care. Anastasia Safronova, an obstetrician-gynecologist, delicately introduced the topic of women’s health as architecture — not symptoms, but harmony. Her talk was subtle, intimate and free of clichés: about cyclicality, gentle strength and how to learn to be in dialogue with your body. The block closed with Irina Polyaeva, a cardiologist and Candidate of Medical Sciences, whose account of the heart turned into a genuine philosophical meditation. She spoke not only about blood pressure and rhythms, but about the heart as a metaphor: the first pendulum of our life and a subtle barometer of the soul’s condition.

      Then — a quiz in which philosophical phrases in Latin sounded from the screen and guests intuitively sought their meaning. It was not about knowledge, but about recognition. Latin aphorisms — not museum exhibits, but mirrors of personal meaning. In the finale — a performance by the OZMA dance theatre. There were no words, only bodies — expressive, alive, sincere. Their movement seemed to embody what the doctors had been talking about all evening: rhythm, impulse, breath, silence, motion. A moment in which philosophy merged with physicality. It was in this fusion that the "Health Code" was found.

      SM-Clinic proposed a new trend: health as the aesthetics of life, as a form of attention, as culture. Not fear, not obligation, not symptomatology, but a subtle, individual, almost artistic attitude toward oneself. And perhaps this is precisely the new femininity: not ornate, not demonstrative, but deep, thoughtful, accepting. Body, mind, soul — in harmony. This is not a trend. This is a style.
