Marek Piotrowski — Longevity Advocate
I spent 20 years building brands. Then I took my son and went to find the people who know how to give us more life. 39 countries and states and 100+ experts later, it became a film and a book — and the beginning of something I’d like to co-create with you: a culture with longevity, health and joy built into it.

Filmed at Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS Singapore, the Buck Institute — and in the Blue Zones.
longevity/lɒnˈdʒɛvɪti/
the art & science of living longer, healthier & more fulfilling lives.

165 interviews, filmed in labs, clinics, homes and on the road. These are their words, exactly as they were said.
“Well, I thought meeting in the cemetery was appropriate because you’re studying longevity and how we live, and it’s really helpful to be reminded of how beautiful it can be to be in a graveyard.”
Director, the Harvard Study of Adult Development

“I’m trying to get sitting classified as an occupational hazard, like radiation.”
Prevention pioneer, Oxford

“I think what people have a hard time imagining that you can help them imagine is they don’t know what to do with the extra time.”

On 15 August 2023 my then-17-year-old son Aleksander and I set off on a one-year journey — longevity clinics, Blue Zones, high-tech labs and the great universities, learning from over 100 of the field’s leading minds.
Two generations. Two views on longevity. One shared quest.

When my son Aleksander and I set out around the world, I had two words printed on our shirts: Longevity Advocate. Not doctor. Not scientist. Advocate — someone who speaks up for something because they believe the world needs it.
For one year, across 39 countries and states and 5 continents, the greatest minds of this field welcomed us like family — in their labs, their universities, their homes. And everywhere we heard the same truth: longevity is not science fiction, and it is not a billionaire’s toy. It is the art and science of living longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives — and most of it is available to you today, as a choice.
Being a Longevity Advocate means three things to me. I live it — I make the choices every day, with joy, not fear. I share it — with my family, my friends, with anyone who will listen. And I grow it — because when millions of us stand behind this science and this culture, we will see real longevity in our lifetime, not our grandchildren’s.
That is why I lead Live Beyond: to co-create a new culture with longevity, health and joy built into it. It began as a father and a son on a quest. It becomes a movement the moment you join.

From TEDx to the global longevity summits. 10 stages, in English and Polish, and I bring the film with me.
Feature documentary. Premiere planned for Q1 2027. Narrated by Aleksander — if a teenager can explore longevity science, so can you.

Publishing Q1 2027. A guide disguised as a game, built from the quest and the knowledge of 100 experts.

I want to live at least 500 years. My son Alek, who spent a year on a longevity quest with me, won’t name a number. What Peter Diamandis told us both.

For years one touch of a cat made my skin flare and my breathing tight. Then a war, a family and their cat changed that. A longevity doctor explained why.

Everything on this site is one person’s work — what I learned, who I met, and what I think it means. Live Beyond is the other half: the place where it stops being my story and becomes something you can take part in. It is open now, and it grows every week.
More than 100 scientists, doctors, healers and biohackers sat down with us, and almost all of them said more than any film can hold. On the Hub each of them has their own page — who they are, where we met them, and what they told us. What you see on this site is the short version.
The Map on this page is the picture. On the Hub every level opens: what is inside it, the moves that make it up, and the people we met who explain it. The same five levels, the same colours.
The thing that surprised me most on the road is how much of this is social. People do not hold on to new habits alone; they hold on to them with other people. So we are connecting longevity communities around the world — the biohacking clubs, the running groups, the cold-water swimmers, the reading circles. Pick a city and find the people already doing this there.
A year built around joy and longevity rather than around deadlines. Answer a few questions and get your own rhythm of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly practices, on one sheet you can print and start today.
The Founding Circle is the first group of people to stand behind it. Put your name down here and you will hear first about everything that comes next — the film, the book, the first screenings and events.
The Longevity Map will guide you to a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life. It gives you a helicopter view on all branches of the longevity field.
A year of asking the people who actually know. Some of them are the biggest names in the field; one of them is a healer in a Balinese courtyard. Both mattered.
Where we went, who we met and what it did to us — a year of it, in one place.
