“Longevity is on everyone’s lips. But do we really have to reinvent everything to achieve it? Many of the topics that are grouped under this term today have long been part of my daily work.

Exercise, strength, a balanced diet, good sleep, recovery, and being mindful of one’s own body—these are not new concepts. But they are and will remain the key factors when it comes not only to living as long as possible, but also to spending as many of those years as possible in good health, staying active, and maintaining independence.

And that’s exactly what I like about this topic: It focuses not only on how old we get, but above all on how we age.”

Nutrition is also one of the fundamentals. A varied, nutrient-rich diet with sufficient protein and fluids provides a good foundation. I consider extreme approaches or short-term diets unnecessary for most people.

I think the more important question is: What fits my daily life, my age, my activity level, and my individual needs? There’s no single “right” diet for everyone. And enjoying your food should definitely be part of it.

This topic is particularly close to my heart because it makes up a large part of my daily work. People come to me with all kinds of questions: Why does a movement suddenly feel different? What might be causing a limitation? What can I do to change things myself?

There isn’t a simple answer to every question—and certainly not one that applies to everyone. But understanding your own body better, recognizing how things are connected, and knowing what options you have can make a big difference.

In my work, I therefore combine—depending on the issue at hand—therapeutic approaches with movement, exercise, and counseling. It’s not about constantly controlling or optimizing the body. Rather, it’s about developing a healthy, self-determined relationship with it. What feels beneficial to one person might already be too much for another. Figuring that out is the exciting part.

Healthy aging doesn’t necessarily require the latest technology, a complicated biohacking program, or a perfectly scheduled daily routine. The basics are surprisingly down-to-earth: exercising regularly, taking good care of your body, giving it time to recover, understanding it better—and not forgetting to enjoy life along the way.

And perhaps longevity begins right there: with a walk, a workout, a good meal, a restful night’s sleep, a new experience, or simply the decision to consciously take time for yourself and your body. After all, we can’t determine how old we’ll get. But we can do a lot to shape the years leading up to that point.
