The volunteers behind Longevity Munich: meet our new Team!

A few months ago, we announced that we were looking for more volunteers to manage the growing Munich community. The response was incredible. It was heartwarming to see how many of you care about this community!

After going through the applications, we selected a group of volunteers who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes. From organizing events and managing media to moderating our WhatsApp groups and preparing talks, they are the engine driving our local chapter forward.

This post is a celebration of these people. We want to give you an insight into who they are, what motivates them, and the personal longevity routines they follow.

Daniil Gavlitskii

Hi, I’m Daniil, and I’m happy to be part of Longevity Munich.

I’ve always liked optimizing everything, from my environment to my health and well-being. My interest in longevity really started when Bryan Johnson brought more attention to the space. At the time, I was looking for practical guidance and was surprised by how few real solutions existed, even for smaller factors like microplastics. Blueprint gave me a strong starting point, and since then I’ve been focused on understanding longevity more deeply, adapting it to real life, and helping make it more practical for others too.

That’s why I joined Longevity Munich: to spread awareness, connect with people, doctors, and experts, and help build a stronger longevity community in Germany and Europe. I believe health is one of the most important foundations in life, because when that is working well, everything else becomes easier to sustain.

Longevity protocol: the mighty three

• Exercise: Running, yoga, gym, and staying consistent above all. For me, consistency is the main goal, and something I’m still working on.
• Diet: Fully plant-based, focused on high-quality foods and sustainable routines.
• Sleep: A major priority, because it shapes the quality of everything else in my day.
• Other: I’m especially interested in health tech, tracking, biohacking, epigenetics, AI, and the future of longevity innovation

I believe the best longevity habits are the ones you can actually sustain, and even better when you build them together with others.

Gaurav Gosh

Hi Guys, this is Gaurav. I am currently studying Finance-Engineering with specialisation in Biotechnology. My friends would say, the line between side quests and main quest is very thin for me but I would say that’s exactly what drives me to wake up everyday. I am a bit over-passionate, a bit over-competitive and very very hyperactive.

And that’s why I am into health. I want to get healthier everyday, and preach what I practice. Fortunately or unfortunately, my relationship with my own health and the standards that I want to set for myself haven’t been very easy to achieve. I am still learning something new about my body everyday and making peace with the fact that health is going to be a long marathon. Funny how the award ceremony at the end will be an ironical end to our footsteps on the planet. But that’s what is also making it very special!

My goal, being an active member of this Longevity community is not only to help me stay healthy or organise health events but also motivate myself to give something back to the community by solving some existing problems within the health space in an entrepreneurial way that can impact our lives positively.

Longevity protocol:

• Exercise: 7 times a week with no rest, until i reach 13% body fat. 💀
• Diet: Food is fuel to my eyes. I will eat anything and everything that is needed for my mitochondria to produce the required ATP. 💀💀
• Sleep: i love sleeping. I can call it my hobby as well.
• Tracking: i love tracking bit more than sleeping. Starting from blood tests to biomarkers, i track almost everything.
• Goal: Goal is to be rich enough to be able to track everything from food source to liver health 💀💀💀💀

Lukas Eichhammer

Hi! I’m Lukas — a real Münchner Kindl and one of the volunteers behind Longevity Munich. I started out in a completely different world: I built a career as a rapper, released my own albums, and toured live. It was intense, exciting… and honestly, not exactly healthy. A back injury became my turning point and pushed me to take health seriously.

Training became my anchor, and nutrition turned into a real passion — I’m currently studying to become a nutrition coach because I’m fascinated by how food impacts performance, recovery, and long-term wellbeing. As my body got stronger, I found my way into endurance sports, completing several Olympic-distance races, half marathons, and an Ironman 70.3. Today, I’m focused on becoming a healthy, strong hybrid athlete for the long run.

Longevity protocol:

• Exercise: Triathlon training with longer runs and rides, plus about two strength sessions a week—functional work built around compound lifts.
• Diet: Simple meals, simple ingredients—fresh and minimally processed. I avoid added sugar and unnecessary additives, and I make sure I’m properly fueled for training and recovery. I still live by 80/20—because good food and real life matter.
• Sleep: I aim for 8–9 hours as consistently as possible in a dark, cool, well-ventilated room.
• Other: I use Whoop, Garmin, and Alary for breathing. Morning routine includes ~15 minutes of near-infrared light and breathing work. For recovery, I rotate IHHT, Reboots, sauna, and cold exposure.

Johanna Kresin

Hi, I’m Johanna, one of the volunteers working for Longevity Germany. I believe that when we’re part of a community with workout buddies, accountability partners, and people who love discussing wellness, healthy habits become a natural part of our social lives. This makes staying healthy much easier in a world that often isn't designed to support it.

As someone who studies psychology and has also had to navigate physical health challenges, I’ve learned never to ignore the body when thinking about mental health. At the same time, I believe that true well-being can’t be reached without also considering our inner mental world. My main role in the community is to create structured series that guide us through key ideas step by step, while also organizing events focused on mental health and social connection.

Current protocol:

• Exercise: Morning movement is a priority. I start the day with a walk (20–90 min). Strength training 3×/week (lower body 2×, upper body 1×). Cardio: Zone 2 twice weekly (20 min) and one high-intensity session (Zone 4–5, ~15 min).
• Diet: Whole foods. Focus on healthy fats and minimal sugar.
• Sleep: Consistent schedule, no blue light 1.5 hours before bed, and relaxing evening activities.
• Other: Stretching, fascia work, or physical therapy exercises during work breaks to counterbalance sitting, plus at least 15 minutes of daily meditation.

Raphael Hauser

Hey, I’m Raphael, and I’m one of the volunteers at Longevity Germany.
I spend my days bridging Computer Science (TUM) and Neuroscience (LMU) to understand how biological and digital systems can last longer. For me, the ultimate longevity foundation is a grounded optimism and the curiosity to see what the future brings. I joined this community to turn the "don't die" philosophy into a shared social reality, making the journey toward a longer life as engaging as the science behind it.

Longevity protocol:

• Exercise: Regular gym sessions and hikes. I use the Bavarian Alps as my primary place for a mental and physical reset.
• Diet: Mostly unprocessed, Mediterranean, and balanced.
• Sleep: At least eight hours per day at the same time. This is my one non-negotiable rule. Cognitive recovery is my top priority.
• Mindset: I believe a science-based, optimistic outlook is the most powerful longevity tool there is. Combined with a solid community, it makes the whole process effortless.

Let’s skip the small talk and dive into the future of science and humanity. See you at our next event!

Join the movement

We are so grateful for the passion and energy Daniil, Gaurav, Raphael, Johanna, and Lukas bring to the team. Longevity Munich simply wouldn’t be the same without them.

Are you inspired to help grow the longevity movement in your own city? We are always looking for passionate organizers for our other chapters:
