VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen while exercising. It serves as a key indicator of longevity and offers an objective assessment of your fitness level. During respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your circulation. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your muscles and organs. Within muscle cells, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, the body's primary energy currency. ATP supplies the necessary energy for muscle contraction and physical effort. Your breathing rate increases during exertion because a greater capacity to absorb and use oxygen leads to higher ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency, meaning your body is better at absorbing, transporting, and utilizing oxygen. As a result, your muscles receive more energy, leading to enhanced endurance, improved performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a critical metric for gauging cardiovascular fitness and long-term health.
A VO2Max test is strongly advised, particularly if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below:
Because it is the primary marker for longevity, we suggest an annual test to assess your current level and determine training requirements that can enhance your prospects for healthy aging. This biomarker serves as an excellent follow-up to evaluate if your cardiovascular and interval training has meaningfully impacted your longevity. Your VO2Max can help direct your training goals and focus. A lower initial value presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to assist individuals in feeling optimal at every stage of life and to support them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this mission, we adhere to several fundamental principles:

In our practice, we rely exclusively on evidence-based methods and medical diagnostics that have been scientifically proven to make a difference. Our focus is on preventing the “four horsemen” of aging—cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration—rather than offering trends like epigenetic age tests or wellness drips. Our Prevention strategy addresses tailored exercises, nutrition, sleep, mental health and if necessary support by supplement and medication.
The cost for VO2Max Session is based on the German healthcare pricing system (GOÄ – Gebührenordnung für Ärzte). We encourage you not to stop at VO2Max test alone, but to begin your full Longevity Journey with us. Here is what our protocol looks like:
