Let's fall in love with longevity and help it grow

Let's live beyond the limitations.

Beyond the limits of disease and ageing — and beyond the limits the world programs into us. A father & son crossed the world to learn how. Come build it with us.

Everything here is real, and some of it is still being written. If you find a gap or something wrong, tell us — that is rather the point of doing it in the open.

How to see it

Join, and the link comes to you

The teaser is finished. We can’t put it in public yet — not until the people in it and the networks we are talking to have said yes. So for now it travels by private link, to the people who join.

One condition: it is yours to watch, not to post. Not on social media, not re-uploaded, not forwarded on. That promise is the only reason we can send it early — which is also why the film itself is behind a password, and the password comes with the link.

Why I’m doing this

I’m Marek. I spent a year crossing 39 countries and states with my son, Aleksander, meeting more than 100 of the world’s leading scientists, doctors and healers — asking one question: how do we live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives? We came home certain of two things. The science is real and closer than people think. And the years are only worth having if they’re full of the people we love.

The field needs all of us to grow faster, so that we can have it in our own lifetimes. And I don’t believe that happens through science alone — it happens through stories. Real ones, about real people, told well enough that you fall in love with longevity rather than simply learn about it. Everyone deserves that story — not only the wealthy, not only those already looking. The more of us who fall in love with it, the faster it grows — for all of us. That’s why we’ve started Live Beyond, and why we’d love you to be a part of that.

The Longevity Calendar

A year of longevity you would actually enjoy

Most longevity plans are built around performance. This one is built around what you love. Twelve questions about what you enjoy, what you dream of and what you already do — and out comes your own calendar: five rhythms, from every day to once a year, made of things worth getting up for.

Because the years are only worth having if you want to be in them. That is the part most of the field leaves out, and it is the part we care about most.

What "Live Beyond" means

To live beyond the limitations — and to live fully, every single day.

Beyond the limits. Not only the limits of disease and ageing that biology sets — but the limits the modern world and society program into us. Let's explore, build and grow past them, together.

Fully alive, now. Living beyond isn't only about adding years for some distant future. It's about being here — present, joyful, connected — in this moment, today. That's the whole point.

The most thorough approach to longevity

Not just the science — the whole field

Longevity isn't only the science of longevity. It's the art and science of living longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives — so we went to everyone. That's what makes this the most thorough view of longevity anywhere, and you live it through our journey.

Top scientistsGeorge Church, Brian Kennedy, Aubrey de Grey, Eric Verdin…
Longevity doctors & clinicsThe best physicians in the world's leading longevity clinics — like Amy Killen.
Blue-Zone eldersPeople who already live the longevity way — Okinawa, Sardinia.
Ancient-wisdom healersMaestra Lucia in Peru, Master Ketut Arsana in Bali.
Coaches & yoga mastersMovement, breath, mindset — the foundations, lived.
Biohackers & nutritionistsEveryday practitioners turning science into habits — like Gary LeBlanc.

And the most enchanting part? Everywhere we went, these people treated us as family — hosting us in their homes, their labs and their universities. Now we'd love you to discover them, and support them, too.

Their wishes for our journey

We ended almost every interview with the same question: what would you wish us, me and my son, for the rest of our quest? Eighty of them answered on camera. These are twelve of the answers, in their own words.

David Luu

“I wish that at the end of your life, your son is still visiting you. Because I learned that is success.

When your son still wants to hang out with you when you’re close to the end — that’s true success of a human being.”

David LuuNew York
Srikumar Rao

“What I would wish you is that you discover for yourself that the only journey worth taking is the inward journey, and that you discover that the happiness that you and everybody is seeking is really inside you.

This is not something you get or acquire. This is something you release.”

Srikumar RaoNew York
George Church
“The main thing I wish for is that you’ll be very successful, and you’ll communicate and get the conversation going. And I hope you have an impact — that you reach a lot of people.”
George ChurchHarvard & MIT
Andrea Maier

“I would love that you are testing yourself at this moment in time, and you will come back ten years younger, but especially that you are mentally really feeling recharged. That’s most important, and enjoy it.

Without joy, you can have a beautiful body, and you can have beautiful genes, and your epigenomic age is very, very low — but you have to really enjoy the interaction with humans, because there needs to be purpose in life.”

Our framework

Longevity is a game — and you can win it

The biggest lesson of the quest: every day you make choices that lengthen or shorten your life. We turned everything we learned into a game with a map — so it's fun, clear, and yours to play.

New to any of this? Start with the twelve hallmarks of ageing, in plain English → — what actually goes wrong in a body, which parts you can do something about, and which you cannot. There is no entry exam.
