Don’t wait for longevity drugs – take action today
Longevity Center founder on the importance of implementing aging science in your health regime, no matter how old you are.
All over the world, people are taking an interest in longevity – the concept of living in a healthy state for as long as possible. But, while some await the development of new drugs and therapies that will delay or reverse the effects of aging, others are choosing to start their longevity journey today. There is already so much that can be done to prolong, and indeed optimize, one’s state of health and longevity medicine is driving a shift from the existing “sick care” model to a healthcare model that is both preventive and personalized.
With its growing network of clinics in Europe, Longevity Center is at the forefront of the longevity medicine revolution. The organization recently opened its latest clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, after opening centers in Poland in 2019 and Germany in 2022.
My take on this: Leveraging the very latest developments in biomarkers of aging, metabolic health, genetics, epigenetics, nutrition, mitochondrial health, sleep science, and more, Longevity Center’s goal is to identify and mitigate the main risk factors that impact on health and vitality. To learn more, we caught up with the clinic’s founder and CEO Joanna Bensz.
At its state-of-the-art clinics, Longevity Center aims to help its clients “live better for longer” by adding more quality years to their lives. Bensz is keen to stress that the approach is based on well-established science – not longevity hype.

“In the longevity sector, it seems like a lot of people want to talk about ‘living forever’ or ‘not dying’,” she says. “But I believe you also need to think about what you want to do with your life – not just about how to live as long as physically possible.”
“My personal view of longevity is that if I optimize my health today, then living longer should be a nice bonus. There are so many rejuvenation therapies that might become available in the future, but they’re not here yet, so you don’t want to die of something avoidable in the meantime.”

1 年I couldn't agree more with the premise of taking action today. However, we must apply reasonable skepticism when evaluating emerging longevity medicine clinics. Comprehensive testing and personalized care plans can have merits, but should be grounded in proven biomarkers and evidence-based lifestyle interventions like exercise, nutrition, and stress reduction. Access and affordability are also key. As this field continues innovating, we need balance between cutting-edge advancements and basic, accessible prevention proven to help people pursue healthier lifespans. Emerging clinics make bold claims, but we must demand rigorous science and complete transparency about the efficacy of their offerings compared to lifestyle changes before embracing them wholeheartedly. I'm advocating for open and critical examination of all new interventions.
