always free
What is Longevity Washington, D.C.?
Longevity Washington, D.C. is a free, science-based community for people in Washington, D.C. who want to stay healthy for longer. The D.C. chapter of Longevity Cities is being founded and is built for busy people: health habits that survive a demanding work week, and straight talk about sleep, strength, food and stress, with no health or science career required.
No meetups have been published yet. Ideas the founding group can pick up include a lunchtime or after-work walk in Rock Creek Park, a weekend stroll along the C&O Canal towpath or the Capital Crescent Trail, a loop on the National Mall, or a small evening talk near a Metro stop. Founding members and co-organizers from D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia can shape the first formats.
Joining is free: create an account and follow this page, where the first D.C. meetups will be announced. Longevity Washington, D.C. is a community, not a longevity clinic or a test provider. It is a place to learn, compare notes and ask better questions before you book any check-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Longevity Washington, D.C.?+
Longevity Washington, D.C. is the D.C. chapter of Longevity Cities, a free and non-commercial community for healthy aging that is being founded now. It is for people in Washington, D.C., not Washington state, who want realistic, evidence-based habits around sleep, movement, nutrition and stress. Membership is open to all adults, and no health or science background is needed.
Is there a longevity clinic or longevity doctor in Washington, D.C.?+
Yes, the D.C. area has private physicians and clinics that offer longevity programs, but Longevity Washington, D.C. is not one: we are a free community and do not diagnose, treat or sell. US programs typically start at a few thousand dollars and can pass 20,000 dollars a year, usually without insurance coverage. Before you pay, ask what decision each test result would change for you.
What is the best way to test biological age in Washington, D.C.?+
There is no single best test, but three options cover most needs: a mail-in epigenetic test (roughly 200 to 500 dollars), a yearly biomarker blood-testing membership (roughly 350 to 500 dollars) and fitness markers such as VO2max and grip strength. The last group is free on this site. If you have a primary care doctor, ask which routine labs they already order.
Are there longevity events in Washington, D.C.?+
Not yet: the D.C. chapter is new and has no events published. The first meetups will appear in the calendar on this page with the exact address, time and cost. Because many people in D.C. have packed days, the founding group is likely to start with short formats, such as an after-work walk or a one-hour talk, rather than all-day programs.
Where could a longevity walking or running group meet in Washington, D.C.?+
D.C. has strong options and no route is fixed yet. Rock Creek Park has shaded trails of different lengths, the C&O Canal towpath in Georgetown is flat and easy for conversation, and the National Mall suits a short loop after work. A first walk would be sociable and slow enough that everyone can talk, whatever their fitness.
Does Longevity Washington, D.C. cost money, and how much time does it take?+
Membership is free, and you decide how much time to give. A free account lets you follow the chapter and use the online tools; you can attend one event or all of them. Walks in Rock Creek Park would cost nothing, while a shared dinner or ticketed venue would state its price on the event page before you sign up.
Where can I find a biohacking and healthy living community in Washington, D.C.?+
Longevity Washington, D.C. is being set up as a free place for people who track their sleep, lift weights or read health research, and want a room where claims get checked. The National Institutes of Health are just outside the city in Bethesda, and D.C. has many policy and science professionals, so critical questions about studies fit right in.
How can I meet new people in D.C. if I just moved here?+
A local group around a shared interest is an easy way in, and Longevity Washington, D.C. is being built as one. D.C. has many newcomers, so first meetups are meant to be easy to attend alone, with time to talk and no networking pressure. All adults are welcome, from Georgetown to Capitol Hill and from the suburbs in Maryland and Virginia.
Can I join from Maryland or Northern Virginia, and how do I help start the chapter?+
Yes, people from Maryland and Northern Virginia are welcome, and many D.C. commuters live there. Create a free account, follow this page and tell the team what you could offer, such as a meeting room, a Metro-friendly spot or a first walk to lead. Founding members and co-organizers are wanted, and the first meetup will be announced here.
