VO2Max is a measure of your body's efficiency in using oxygen during physical exertion. It serves as a quantifiable indicator of your fitness level and is a crucial marker for longevity. The process begins when you inhale; your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it to your bloodstream. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to your organs and muscles. Within muscle cells, oxygen is essential for creating ATP, the body's primary energy currency. ATP supplies the power muscles require for all movement and activity. Your capacity to take in and use more oxygen directly correlates to greater ATP production, explaining why your breathing rate increases with intense effort.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your cardiovascular and muscular systems are functioning with exceptional efficiency: your body's ability to absorb, deliver, and utilize oxygen is enhanced. This provides your muscles with greater energy, resulting in improved endurance, heightened performance, and faster recovery. For these reasons, the VO2Max measurement is recognized as one of the foremost indicators of cardiovascular fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
As a primary marker for longevity, we advise an annual test to measure your level and determine training requirements to improve your chances of aging healthily. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker for assessing whether your cardio and interval training have had a meaningful effect on your longevity. VO2Max provides direction for your ambitions and training focus. Having a lower starting point offers a considerable opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel their best at every age while empowering them to live longer, more healthful lives. To do this, we are guided by several foundational 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:
