Frequently Asked Questions
What is Longevity Switzerland?
A community of people in Switzerland who want to live longer and better, together. We run free events, share science-backed health habits, and connect people who actually care. No guru vibes, no gatekeeping.
Who is Longevity Switzerland for?
Anyone curious about living longer and feeling better. Students, founders, researchers, athletes, parents, retirees. You do not need to know what VO2 max is to show up. Caring about your health is enough.
Is attending events free?
Yes. Every event is free and open to anyone. Runs, climbs, workshops, morning raves, the lot.
What kind of events do you host in Switzerland?
Weekly runs, community climbs, park meditations, talks on epigenetic aging, yoga sessions, morning raves, hikes, and startup meetups. The format changes, but the idea stays the same. Get people together, move, learn something, have fun.
Can I test my biological age in Switzerland?
Yes. Labs in Switzerland run saliva or blood tests with epigenetic clocks like Horvath, GrimAge, and DunedinPACE, or with telomere length. Results usually take a few weeks. For a quick estimate, our free Face Age or Pace of Aging Test works in minutes.
What’s the difference between biological and chronological age?
Chronological age is the number on your ID. Biological age is how your cells and organs are actually doing. It is measured through things like epigenetic clocks or telomere length. The biological one matters more for your health.
How often should I retest my biological age?
Every 6 to 12 months is a reasonable cadence. Lifestyle changes can measurably shift epigenetic markers. Retesting shows whether what you are doing is working.
What scientific methods do you rely on?
Epigenetic clocks like Horvath, GrimAge, and DunedinPACE. Telomere measurements. Blood panels. Vascular aging through pulse wave velocity, which tells you how stiff your arteries are. We pick methods with solid research behind them.
How do I stay updated on events and tests?
Subscribe to the newsletter or follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn. You get early invites, testing opportunities, and evidence-based life hacks.
Can I bring friends or colleagues?
Please do. Longevity is better as a team sport. Bring friends, coworkers, your partner, your parents. Everyone is welcome.
How do I partner with Longevity Switzerland?

Who's behind Longevity Switzerland?
We started in 2024 as a community-first initiative, not a traditional startup. No investors pushing growth metrics. We grow at the speed of the people who show up, and we keep things transparent. Read the full story.
