Next episode: Exercise is a potent longevity intervention - but how can we integrate more of it - especially vigorous movement - into our day?

Prof. Marie Murphy discusses the science behind intermittent vigorous activity and how it can help us live better for longer.

The mind and body are willing, but you just don’t have enough time to do more – or any – vigorous exercise to stay healthy. Think again. VILPA (Vigorous Inte...

After interviewing hundreds of ‘longevity experts’ this is the only logical conclusion. At least for now.

“Be active, eat well, have a good social circle, sleep well, keep stress as low as possible ”

That’s about as close as we come to a recipe for the Fountain of Youth that works for most people, most of the time.

**Is the Anti-Aging Hype Real? 🤔💸**
Inflated expectations: the strange craze for translational research on aging: Given existing confusion about the basic science of aging, why the high optimism in the private sector about the prospects of developing anti-aging treatments?
https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.1038/s44319-024-00226-2
David Gems and colleagues challenge the booming excitement in the private sector over anti-aging treatments. While biotech giants are pouring billions into the race to extend lifespan, this study questions whether the science is truly ready for such a massive push. Are we jumping the gun on the fountain of youth? The paper calls for a more grounded approach, focusing on understanding aging before diving headfirst into costly solutions.
Let’s balance the excitement with some scientific rigour? Be active, eat well, have a good social circle, sleep well, keep stress as low as possible

There’s a big difference between Hollywood’s sometimes dystopian view of life extension and real-life longevity.

In this episode Peter Bowes explores the impact of creative storytelling on healthy aging - and the curious intersection of longevity science and blockchain.

The power of innovative storytelling to better understand human longevity has been harnessed by a unique community known as JellyfishDAO. The group - made up...

What does it mean to prioritize healthspan as a lifestyle goal? A new documentary, Reversed TV Series, explores this and many other issues relating to health optimization and equity in healthcare. Peter Bowes met with series director Charles Mattocks and leading longevity-focused physician Robert Lufkin MD for our latest Live Long podcast episode. Enjoy!

Do we all have equal access to the benefits of longevity science? Undoubtedly not, although many of the proven interventions are more accessible than some pe...

Congratulations to Maddy Kent Dychtwald on the publication of her book, Ageless Aging. It's a fascinating exploration of the aging process and real-world interventions to slow it down. Maddy presents a critical assessment of how the medical and wellness industries have historically overlooked women in research and product development. She also explores the democratization of longevity hacks which, contrary to popular belief, do not necessitate considerable financial investment but are accessible through simple, everyday choices like diet, physical movement, and social engagement.

We had a good chat about it for the Live Long and Master Aging podcast.

Maddy Dychtwald has been unraveling the mysteries of aging for decades. Before biohacking was a thing and the recent surge in interest in age-reversal scien...

What does it mean to grow old? What are the hallmarks of aging?

Questions that have long since intrigued biologists and longevity researchers.

We understand the impact of weaker muscles, frailty, cognitive challenges and greying hair, but it is the underlying factors – molecular and cellular mechanisms – that researchers are striving to understand.

Dr. Davide D’Amico, Research and Development Group Leader with the Swiss cellular nutrition brand, Timeline Nutrition, is studying how compounds derived from plants can be used to reverse muscle decline and boost mitochondrial health.

The art of controlled breathing is a powerful tool in the quest to live a longer, healthier life. There is evidence that breath work can help us improve sleep, control physical and mental stress, boost our metabolism and fuel the immune system. Phil Simha is the resident breathing coach at Clinique La Prairie (CLP), the Swiss medical spa that specializes in treatments that nurture our longevity.

An experienced free diving instructor and teacher of yoga and pranayama (the practice of breath regulation), Phil believes slower breathing can help us live better while nurturing our healthspan. LLAMA host Petef Bowes met Phil in his studio at CLP to learn more about his passion for improving peoples’ health; his love of life and the planet and the free spirit that propels his journey of discovery around the world.

New episode!

A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that wall squats and planks are best at lowering blood pressure, with isometric exercises providing greater benefits than aerobic exercise.

Walking just 3867 steps a day could reduce the risk of dying from any cause, according to research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

A study suggests that a 10-minute MRI scan could be better at screening for prostate cancer than the traditional PSA test.

A nematode worm survived 46,000 years in permafrost but could it also mean melting permafrost may also release potentially harmful organisms and viruses
