Ancient Habits, Modern Billions: The Future of Living Well
The world is spending $6.8 trillion a year on wellness. Walking through Shanghai, I found myself wondering how much of that we actually need. Are we investing in our health, or just investing in the idea of it and the latest trends? Life expectancy tells an interesting story here. Monaco leads the global rankings at […]
Lifestyle Choices Matter Most for Longevity
I’ve spent my career reading the science, not the headlines. So when Harvard Medical School recently published Pathways to Longevity, a comprehensive 49-page review of ageing science that reached the same conclusions I’ve reached over two decades of clinical practice, it felt significant. Here’s what struck me most. Your genes are not your destiny The […]
What if ageing could be seen before it is felt?
How advanced imaging technologies and human organoids are helping scientists study ageing before disease appears Reframing ageing Most people believe ageing begins when they first notice it. A little less energy. Slower recovery. Changes in the skin, the body or the mind that gradually become harder to ignore. But science is beginning to reveal something […]
RED ALERT. Are we too obsessed with optimisation?
I use the word optimisation almost every day. In consultations, at congresses, in conversations about longevity science. It is a good word, precise and purposeful. But lately I have started to wonder whether we have taken it somewhere it was never meant to go. 76% of employees experience burnout at least occasionally, and burnout now […]
Women’s Bodies Use Oxygen Differently
For decades, women’s health research has been underfunded and underrepresented in medical studies. Science is beginning to catch up across genetics, metabolism, oncology, neuroscience, and preventive medicine, but one area remains overlooked. Oxygen. Oxygen is not a gender-neutral story Understanding how women process oxygen is central to women’s health, performance and longevity. Research published in […]
What Elite Athletes Can Teach Us About Living Healthier for Longer
Healthier longevity comes from consistency, not extremes Elite athletes are no longer defined by short careers followed by inevitable decline. Increasingly, they are becoming living examples of how health, vitality and performance can be sustained over time. Their relevance now extends far beyond sport. They offer a practical blueprint for ageing well. Consider Novak Djokovic, […]
Optimism & Oxygen. How mindset and physiology can impact longevity
People with the highest levels of optimism live 11–15% longer than those with the lowest scores. This was revealed in research from a large, long-term population study by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Boston University Even after accounting for lifestyle, health status and […]
Breathing in the Future. Longevity Takes Centre Stage in Davos
At 1,560 metres above sea level, the crystal-clear air at Davos fills the lungs of the most influential people in business and politics for the World Economic Forum . This year’s theme was the “Spirit of Dialogue”. Amidst the intense geopolitical conversations, leading voices came together to discuss longevity. Where Longevity, Capital and Science Converge […]
What Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Taught Us in 2025 and Why 2026 Will Be a Turning Point
In 2025, one thing became unmistakably clear: oxygen, delivered with pressure, precision and consistency, can influence how we age at a cellular level. I had already experienced how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) supported my performance, recovery and mental clarity. What 2025 added was confirmation. HBOT is transitioning from a niche biohacking tool into a recognised […]
Resilience: A Longevity Gift That Keeps On Giving
Study shows resilient people live longer As we approach the festive break, many of us will naturally reflect on what the year has asked of us. The triumphs and the trials. The lessons we did not expect and the strength we did not know we had. Whether we recognise it or not, these moments have […]
