# Portland Portland has always done things differently. It is a city with a fierce independent streak, a deep commitment to sustainability, and a culture that has been thinking seriously about how to live well long before it became a trend. Our Portland chapter channels that spirit into the science of longevity — evidence-based, open-minded, and built for people who are not interested in following the mainstream. Regular meetups, expert talks, and hands-on workshops cover everything from metabolic health and sleep optimization to longevity biomarkers and recovery protocols. The crowd spans researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, outdoor enthusiasts, and free thinkers who believe that a longer life should also be a more intentional one. Portland has always been ahead of the curve. We are here to make sure the science catches up. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Longevity Portland?
