It all started with a simple question:
"What do I have to do to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible?"
The bleak conventional outlook
|
This is the survival curve of humans over time as conventional medicine sees it today. It also shows the traditional view of the expected decline in health for an average individual.
Health is predicted to peak between 25 and 30 and go downhill from there as we age. Once we reach age 65, we are expected to be in much worse shape both mentally and physically than we were at our peak at 30. After that, things only get worse, and we are expected to die at about 75-80 years of age (the average lifespan). Some of us grow older, but no one lives longer than 120 (the maximum lifespan of our species). |
Our quality of life is expected to even be worse
|
As our health deteriorates over time, our quality of life worsens at an even faster rate. Obesity and chronic diseases may lead to a lack of energy and vigor, maybe even mild or severe depression.
A heart attack or stroke might force us to be far less active than we would wish to be. Arthritis makes motion more and more painful, sometimes even early in life. Over time, many of the activities that we came to love when we were younger are harder or even impossible to participate in. Our libido diminishes and maybe even disappears altogether. And all this before we even reach retirement. |
It does not have to be that way: Extending our healthy lifespan
|
By applying the latest and often unused medical knowledge in nutrition, exercise, detox, mental well-being, functional and preventive medicine, we can dramatically improve our health, reverse chronic illnesses and substantially lower the probability of falling prey to age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and diabetes.
Moreover, some processes of aging can already be slowed down using existing approaches. |
We can do even more: Extending our maximum lifespan
|
Scientists are hard at work to find ways to significantly extend our healthy and maximum lifespan beyond current limits.
Molecular and cellular repair technologies that are on the drawing board or already under development aim to undo the damage caused by aging. These technologies will allow us to slow down, halt, or even reverse the aging process thus eliminating the root cause of age-related diseases. Obviously, we want to be in the best possible shape when these new therapies arrive step-by-step in the future. |
The future starts today
Depending on the pace of development, the first highly effective molecular repair technologies might be available in less than a decade. However, we need to keep in mind that a complete set of "full-body" molecular repair therapies will not arrive all at once but rather step-by-step over time.
Amazingly, there is already so much we can do right now, and exciting possibilities are just around the corner. So, as we age, we could still be on our snowboards on our 85th birthday without fear of diseases and all the other gruesome stuff that comes with old age.

Getting from here to there
To vastly extend our healthy life span and be part of the first generation to get aging under full medical control, we strongly feel that we need to use all the tools at our disposal.
We do not want to just passively sit by and wait for someone to fix aging with the hope that it happens soon enough for us. On the contrary - we decided to play an active role in our future.
So, we asked ourselves:

So, we asked ourselves:
What can we do right now to ...?
... immediately maximize our health and quality of life?
... stay as healthy as possible, for as long as possible?
... still be in good shape when new therapies arrive in the future?
... accelerate the pace of development?

Here is our approach
We apply a dual strategy to achieve the best possible outcome

Create, apply and continuously improve the most effective personal health and longevity strategy that can be implemented at present
Through our "Rejuvenation Now" and "Maximizing Health" initiatives we seek to continuously identify and evaluate new rejuvenation therapies with reference to their risks, benefits, and potential application and to harness the enormous wealth of the world's cutting-edge medical knowledge to empower informed decisions about health and well-being.
Our "Health & Longevity Strategy" combines those results with the latest knowledge from selected experts to create a step-by-step guide on how to maximize our health, well-being, and longevity right now.
Our Initiatives: Rejuvenation Now - Maximizing Health - Longevity Strategy
Accelerate the development of molecular and cellular repair technologies that undo the damage of aging at the root level
Our acclaimed Undoing Aging conference annually brings together pioneering scientists and startups from around the globe, who are leading the charge in maintaining and restoring full health in old age.
In addition, we support the development of rejuvenation therapies by funding the most promising research with translational potential and mentoring startups that work on therapies for human use.
