The Inside Blue Zone pathway

A pathway to take care of your longevity

Three areas, a defined sequence and a doctor who follows you from start to finish: this is how the pathway you can start at a Longevity Center in the network works.

Three areas, three protocols

One protocol for each area

The pathway is divided into three protocols, each dedicated to an area that longevity research considers central. They take place one after the other, always in the same order.

01 · Inflammation

ACT-IBZ

The first protocol is dedicated to the area of inflammation: the response with which the body defends itself and which, over time, can remain active at low intensity.

02 · Microcirculation

CO-IBZ

The second is dedicated to microcirculation: the network of small vessels that brings oxygen and nutrients to each tissue.

03 · Metabolism

MO-IBZ

The third is dedicated to cellular metabolism, i.e. the way cells produce and use energy.

The names of the protocols indicate the area each one is dedicated to. The doctor assesses during the first visit whether the pathway is suitable for you. Images are for illustrative purposes only.

The sequence

Always in the same order

The three protocols take place one after the other: first ACT-IBZ, then CO-IBZ and finally MO-IBZ. This is the sequence with which the Inside Blue Zone pathway was defined and studied, and it is the same in all the Longevity Centers in the network.

  1. 1 ACT-IBZ Inflammation
  2. 2 CO-IBZ Microcirculation
  3. 3 MO-IBZ Metabolism

In practice

How the pathway works

Your doctor will explain every detail before you start. Here is a summary of what to expect.

Where
At the Longevity Center you choose, in a calm setting.
A session
It lasts about half an hour and you do it lying down, at rest.
How many sessions
The complete programme includes 27 sessions, 9 for each protocol.
At what pace
Sessions can be concentrated into a few days or spread out over time: you agree the frequency and schedule with your doctor.
Preparation
No special preparation is needed.
Your treatments
The pathway does not replace your current treatments: the doctor takes them into account and, if necessary, consults your regular doctor.

The method

REAC Technology
