About us
Looking for longevity and health meetups in Hamburg? Longevity Cities Hamburg is a welcoming local community for people curious about healthy aging and healthspan—the years of life spent in good health.
Meet others interested in sleep, nutrition, movement and the science of living well. You do not need a scientific background or an established health routine to take part. Beginners are welcome, and curiosity is a good place to start.
Past Hamburg events have included “The Night Shift” sleep talk, a discussion of the gut microbiome, Run & Networking near Dammtor, and yoga by the Planetarium. These examples show how the community connects conversation, learning and movement. Check the current event calendar to see what is coming next and find a gathering that interests you.
As part of the fast-growing English-speaking Longevity Cities community for longevity, health and fitness, this chapter offers a place to exchange ideas, ask questions and get to know people nearby who share an interest in health and wellness.
Joining the group is free, and our own community meetups are free. You cover your own food and drinks, plus any partner activity costs stated in the event listing. Check each listing for the event language, meeting point and participation requirements.

Epigenetics – How environment and lifestyle shape your biology

Language of the Talk: EnglishTwenty years ago, scientists believed that by knowing all about human genes, most diseases could be explained. We now know that human biology isn’t as simple as that.
What if our DNA could tell us not only what we inherited — but what our bodies have experienced? The answer may lay in epigenetics – how your body turns on and off genes to deal with challenges.
Factors such as aging, environment, diseases and lifestyle continuously alter our epigenetic settings, and by decoding these changing patterns, we get further in understanding the complexity of human biology.
Join us for an evening exploring epigenetics and the future of proactive health.
Prof. Maria Lerm, Professor at Linköping University and co-founder of PredictMe, will share how our environment, lifestyle and experiences can leave measurable marks on our biology, and why this matters for understanding and protecting our future health.
We'll explore questions like: How much of our health is shaped by our environment? Can lifestyle change our biology? And could we detect harmful changes before disease becomes symptomatic?
After the talk, stay for an open discussion and networking with people across medicine, science, longevity, biotech and proactive health. Also you will be offered the chance to early access PredictMe Delta at an exclusive discount.
👩⚕️ Our Speaker: Prof. Maria Lerm
Professor for Medical Microbiology
