- Did you know that despite ageing being a leading cause of death in the UK, only 40p per person per year is estimated to be allocated to crucial longevity research?
We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with the esteemed ageing pioneer, Dr. Andrew Steele, on a mission to tackle the scientific challenge of ageing.
As a valued member of our advisory board, Dr. Steele is committed to advancing health optimisation, specifically in ways that can mitigate the impacts of ageing and help you live better for longer. Holding a PhD in physics from Oxford, Dr. Steele brings a remarkable background, including groundbreaking work at the Francis Crick Institute, where he utilised AI to decode DNA and predict heart attacks. He is also the author of "Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old."
In this video, you'll gain deep insights into:
1. The intricacies of ageing
2. Actionable steps to slow down the ageing process
3. The current excitement and advancements in ageing research
4. An imperative need for increased funding in ageing research to better understand various solutions for extending our lifespans.

Thank you. A great interview. Andrew Steele is just an awesome speaker and writer. He is absolutely right that a much larger investment from our governments would also be extremely worthwhile. Not only in terms of the humanitarian aspect, it would also make a lot of economic sense ...
We completely agree!
I hate when people say life expectancy doubled. In the 1800s EVERYONE was eating organic, eating grass feed beef and pastured eggs. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson lived to 83 & 84 years of age. The "statistics " got watered down because every third person died at child birth, there were no antibiotics and people died from trauma. I say the ones that lived were healthier.
Thank you for your insightful comment! You're correct that historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson lived to a ripe old age, and early mortality rates did impact overall life expectancy statistics. It's important to note, though, that advancements in medicine, public health, and nutrition have played a huge role in increasing life expectancy beyond what was possible in the past. While organic and naturally raised foods have benefits, the rise in life expectancy also owes much to better living conditions, hygiene, and medical care. We value the wisdom of the past and agree it's important to integrate it with modern science to enhance our health and longevity
They weren't. Many people indeed lived into old age, but they had far higher rates of chronic illness and disability than today. Examination of skeletons and medical records show arthritis, degradation of cartilage, blindness and deafness, respiratory problems, atherosclerosis etc. due to surviving childhood infections and repeated infections later in life, hard physical labour and then sleeping in damp and dusty conditions, and rampant alcoholism, among other things.
Many of the Founding Fathers were incredible drinkers. George Washington put away one or two bottles of wine a night. That was considered normal. 'Exhaustion' was a frequent listed cause of death. Viruses in water would cause gastrointestinal diseases. Compound fracture? Cut off the limb before infection sets in. No pins to fix bones in place.
When people's health started to fail, there was little doctors could do. So their health would fail for many years. Chronic invalidism was common. You always hear about invalids in Charles Dickens stories, for example. So no, people were not healthier.
Now take away every painkiller but opium. During the American Civil War, one of the nasty things that happened near the end was the Confederacy ran low on morphine due to the blockade. So field hospitals got even more horrifying than they already were.
And good luck treating mental disorders. The brain was a complete mystery. They knew by the 1500s that it was the source of cognition, but nothing about how it worked. And even when they started to develop models of how certain structures in the brain might work, there was nothing anyone could do to modify their activity anyway. And we know people suffered from depression, anxiety, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders etc.
Now tribal cultures that used psychedelics and cultures where meditation and yoga existed were a different matter. They developed a sophisticated subjective science of mind. But that wasn't part of Western culture.
I kinda cringed when he said that, too. Before smallpox inoculation, 33% of all children died of smallpox, so that is after surviving being born. If you made it past 1 without getting smallpox and got it a bit later, then it is a 30% chance of death. It was closer to 50% if you got smallpox as a young infant. And it was this way for at least 3,500 years in the Old World. When the New World got it, it was probably close to 90% wipe out. Historians are still debating what %, but it was clearly very bad. There was no inoculation for Ben Franklin, but he could have inoculated his children, but he was a doubter, and lost a son. They needed a lot of kids back then, you are going to lose 1/3 just to smallpox, then there were a dozen other diseases. Most of the leading causes of death were communicable just 150 years ago. The top 3 causes of death in 1900 in the US were all caused by pathogens (flu/pneumonia, tuberculous, diarrhea). Then heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, accidents, cancer, senility (combines Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and the others), then diphtheria.
They were not all dying of "trauma." Accidents is actually higher on the list today, where it is usually #3, but was pushed down to #4 during the pandemic. In absolute terms? Maybe. Manufacturing machinery, and farming machinery, were more dangerous. Riding a horse is dangerous. Ships had mishaps more. Mining was very unsafe. But cautious people with good common sense were likely still unlikely to die that way. The workplace safety rules, mostly, protect idiots. Well, the subset of idiots who actually follow the rules. The cocky, lazy, shortcut artist idiots will still die like flies in dangerous jobs. I am not saying you have to be an idiot to get killed on the job or at home or anywhere else. Just statistically, these things are more likely to happen to those taking unnecessary risks, like weaving in and out of traffic at 100 mph on a motorcycle today, or working in 1900 as a tree topper.
People get lucky and survive. Maybe Franklin beat the odds surviving his lighting experiments. Or maybe odds are he should have gotten syphilis in France, and died insane 10 years later.
burgers are also good for anti aging
This is very informative. Please though why is the host giggling every minute. Nothing funny with guest not really laughing. Program about health and disease. Not comedy show. My seven yr old daughter when friends over doing all this giggling and yes when 7 is appropriate. But not adults constantly doing every minute. This just detracts and not any benefit here. Waste of time. Thanks for efforts.
