She changes her diet, doesn't drink alcohol, takes a cold shower every day, goes to bed regularly at 10:30 p.m., does mindfulness exercises and takes nutritional supplements. That feels good to her at first, but some things fall by the wayside. The reporter gets to know longevity fans and discovers that longevity can be lived in very different ways. 28-year-old nursing professional Luca Hintermann, for example, changed his life ten years ago. "If you start early, you don't have to be afraid of aging - then age is just a number," he says while training with heavy dumbbells in his home gym. His goal: to go down in history as one of the oldest Swiss people with his healthy lifestyle. 00:00 Intro 01:03 Group meeting of longevity supporters 02:10 Bryan Johnson's Don't Die movement also in Switzerland 04:35 Why do people want to be part of the longevity movement? 06:20 For over ten years – this is what Luca has been doing for a long life ???? 12:14 Self-experiment: Michelle tries out the longevity lifestyle 16:14 This is what Luca's circle of friends think about his lifestyle 20:23 Limitation or enrichment? ???? 22:00 Lunch with Luca and his family ????️ 26:15 Wife finds Luca "sometimes a bit intolerant" 28:24 Michelle's conclusion to the self-experiment 29:47 Outro _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Michèle Rüedi ▪ Senior Producer: Ilona Stämpfli ▪ Director: Anita Richner _____________________________________________ This is "rec.": "rec." stands for "record."
