VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. It serves as an objective indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial biomarker for longevity. As you breathe, oxygen enters your lungs and is then transferred into your blood. Your red blood cells carry this oxygen to your muscles and organs. To generate ATP, which is the primary energy currency of the body, your muscle cells require oxygen. This ATP supplies the necessary energy for your muscles to move and perform work. Your breathing rate increases with exertion because a greater intake and use of oxygen results in more ATP production.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with high efficiency, meaning your body is better at absorbing, transporting, and using oxygen. The result is increased energy delivery to your muscles, leading to enhanced endurance, better performance, and faster recovery. For this reason, VO2Max is regarded as a primary metric for assessing cardiovascular fitness and overall long-term health.
We strongly advise a VO2Max test if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Because it is a key biomarker for longevity, we suggest testing your VO2Max at least once annually to assess your current level and determine training requirements for promoting healthy aging. This measurement serves as an excellent follow-up to evaluate the impact of your cardio and interval training on your long-term health. Your VO2Max score can help direct your training goals and focus. A lower initial score presents a significant opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel optimal at every stage of life and to assist them in achieving longer, healthier lifespans. To accomplish this, we adhere to a number of 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:
