Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions
About the pathway, the sessions and the Longevity Centers. If you cannot find what you are looking for, write to us or contact the nearest centre.
01
The pathway in brief
What is the Inside Blue Zone pathway, in simple terms?
It is a doctor-supervised pathway that takes place at a Longevity Center in the network. It focuses on three areas that longevity research considers central (inflammation, microcirculation and metabolism), with three protocols carried out in sequence. It was developed by the Istituto Rinaldi Fontani in Florence.
Is it a cosmetic anti-ageing treatment?
No. The pathway is not about appearance but about health over time: it looks at how the body functions, not at wrinkles or visible signs of age.
Who is it for? Do I need a diagnosis?
You do not need a specific diagnosis to ask for a first visit. It is the doctor at the centre who assesses your situation and tells you whether the pathway is suitable for you.
How is it different from other approaches to longevity?
The pathway does not involve medication, supplements, hormones or infusions. It is based on REAC Technology, developed by the Istituto Rinaldi Fontani, and follows defined protocols that are the same in all the network’s centres. It is not an alternative to a healthy lifestyle, nor to the care you need.
02
The sessions
What happens during a session?
At the centre, lying down, for about half an hour. No special preparation is needed: the doctor explains everything to you before you start.
Are the sessions uncomfortable?
In general, almost nothing is felt during the session. If you have any concerns or special conditions, talk to your doctor during your first visit.
How many sessions are needed, and over what period?
The complete programme includes 27 sessions, 9 for each of the three protocols. They can be concentrated into a few days or spread out over time: you agree the schedule with your doctor.
When will I see results?
Everyone is different and the pathway does not promise the same results for everyone. That is why the doctor follows you over time, reviews with you how you are doing and decides with you how to continue.
Do I have to stop my treatments or change my diet?
No. The pathway does not replace your current treatments, your regular doctor, a healthy diet or a balanced lifestyle. The doctor at the centre takes all of this into account and, if necessary, consults your regular doctor.
03
The Longevity Centers
How do I find a Longevity Center?
On the Longevity Center page you will find the map and the up-to-date list of the network’s centres, with addresses and contact details.
Are all centres that use REAC Technology Longevity Centers?
No. REAC Technology is used by many professionals for different purposes. The Inside Blue Zone Longevity Centers are the network’s centres, with doctors trained by the Istituto Rinaldi Fontani in the pathway dedicated to longevity. If you have any doubts about a centre, write to us before you start.
How much does the pathway cost?
Costs and booking arrangements are set by each centre: ask the Longevity Center you choose directly.
I am a doctor: how can I join the network?
Information on technology, training and network membership is on REAC Professionals.
