Our pillars for a longer, fulfilling life
At 121.000, our founders, Dr. Valentina Bänninger and Michael Appenzeller, have crafted a philosophy that transcends previous approaches, integrating the latest scientific milestones with a deep personal commitment to holistic and individualized health optimization. Our goal is to guide you in transforming into the most radiant and authentic version of yourself.
A philosophy rooted in our personal experience
The personal experience of our founders is at the heart of the 121.000 approach: Both passionately live by the principles they advocate in their work, embracing the motto: "Practice what you preach!" Inspired by science and balanced with self, nature, and our environment.
Today’s healthcare system has a very limited view. We are being fixed when we are sick. Incentives of an industry at large are guided to monetize our sickness. In today’s world, achieving and maintaining health has become increasingly difficult. The food we consume often lacks the necessary nutrients, while our environment is filled with unavoidable toxins. Additionally, the demands of modern life and constant stressors disrupt our natural biological rhythms and psychological wires, making it more challenging than ever to stay healthy. These factors combined make it more challenging than ever to stay healthy.
We believe your health deserves better! Science and technology enable a radical change in how people maintain their health. In an era of unprecedented scientific breakthroughs, healthcare will shift towards a more personalized and preventive model. Our aim is to use this opportunity and provide cutting-edge diagnostics and carefully reviewed protocols to enable those who seek a longer, healthier and more vital life.
This profound belief in the effectiveness of our methods is possible only because we have tested and implemented the interventions that will also shape your longevity journey. We practice what we preach!
Tailored Longevity through epigenetics
Instead of relying solely on conventional medicine, which reacts only when diseases have already developed, 121.000 embraces a philosophy that promotes and supports the emergence of health before diseases may occur.
Thanks to the latest scientific findings, we are gaining an increasingly clear understanding of the complex biological mechanisms that govern the aging process. Epigenetics is a crucial link between your lifestyle and your genetic structure. This field of science enables us to understand how environmental influences, nutrition, and lifestyle can affect your genes without altering their DNA sequence. We utilize these revolutionary scientific advances to tailor each of our longevity journeys to your unique and personal needs.
Our mission: To make healthy and conscious aging more accessible by empowering people to continuously optimize their long-term health and quality of life through scientifically-based and tailored measures.
A holistic approach to a long, desirable quality of life
Epigenetics deals with how environmental factors and lifestyle habits influence gene expression. Our fixed DNA affects about 10% of our health, while epigenetics allows us to influence 70-80%.
These epigenetic factors can be diverse and include:
- Environmental conditions, such as air and drinking water quality, and exposure to pollutants
- Nutrition
- Stress
- Sleep hygiene
- Physical activity
- Social interactions
- Mental health
Taking these epigenetic insights into account, we can pursue evidence-based holistic approaches that enable harmonious and balanced well-being.
Instead of treating individual symptoms, holism focuses on the interactions between body, mind, and environment and strives to optimize all areas of life.
In the ultra-personalized approaches of 121.000, we focus on seven key pillars to promote holistic well-being and healthy longevity by significantly influencing your epigenetic factors:
