Our approach

It has been proven that humans can live well for more than 100 years. You have all heard about the blue zones and how people there thrive at very high ages. Modern lifestyle disrupts us from having lives like these. The biggest threats to a long health span are:

We eat too much processed foods, stress too much and live sedentary lives.  

At the same time we have never had access to so much knowledge about lifestyles and more possibilities to measure and adjust both diet, training and lifestyle. 

 Initial focus on the fundamentals. Before you get the basics right there is probably no need to go to more advanced treatments/therapies. Once you control the fundamentals you can go further by measuring and adapting lifestyle, sleep, training and more advanced indicators.

And note, life is not just training, take care of yourself and get that lifestyle and community that you need to live your life the fullest! Personally I find the "Longevity architect canvas" by David Luu very useful. You can find it if you scroll down. 

1. Diet & Training:

• 1.1 Eat a balanced diet by following nutritional recommendations from relevant authorities. This is what your mama told you to eat. Basic ingredients without additives that are cooked at home or by a restaurant that you trust. In Sweden a good starting point where you can learn more is Livsmedelsverket. 

• 1.2 Do not sit still. Live an active life. You cannot compensate for a sedentary life by going to the gym for a few hours every week. Walk more, bike more, stand up and do stretching or simple exercises. If you get a smartwatch it will tell you when it is time to move. Follow its advice!

• 1.3 Add both cardiovascular and resistant training at least 2-3 times weekly but do not forget that the most important factor is to avoid sitting still too much. Both your maximum oxygen uptake and muscle mass/strength have very strong correlation with a longer and healthier life span. However there is an optimum so it might not be better to do more of it. Again, your smartwatch will help you. 

• 1.4 Measure and manage: Stress, Sleep, Sedentary lifestyle, Exercise, Nutrition, Blood glucose and much more can and should be measured before you start using any supplement or therapy. The first step is to get a smartwatch that can help you reduce stress and improve your sleep as well as telling you to avoid sitting too much.  Additionally CGM:s (Continuous Glucose Monitor), relevant blood samples, body composition measurements and more can help you understand more about how your body works.  You might need supplements but do not touch them before the need is confirmed by measurement(s).

2. Get yourself in order:

• 2.1 Avoid injuries by securing your physiology. Make sure that you identify all the damages & irregularities in your body that happened over the years and do what you can to fix them. Any Personal Trainer can help you with this. This will make it easier for you in daily life and most importantly help you avoid injuries. Most important avoid falling by being strong and fast.   

3. Therapies and Longevity drugs:

• 3.1 Yes, science is advancing and maybe there is something that can help you beyond training and diet. However, this must be based on your identified needs and scientific maturity. Some very interesting therapies are evolving however still under debate on risks and benefits.

Unfortunately, following the steps above will probably not take you beyond 100-120 years of age. If you really want to "live forever" current science is limited but might include replacement of old body parts with new cloned ones ...
