Key Highlights

• Epigenetics is the study of how our genes and lifestyle are intertwined and the potential for increasing our life expectancy. We discuss how technology and innovation are making it increasingly possible to reach the potential of living to 150 years old.
• The market for health and wellness is booming and people are increasingly investing in their own health. But there are potential consequences when taking preventative health measures without professional advice. Understanding your individual needs is paramount.
• Virtual medicine can tell the story of how your body is functioning metabolically, and Covid has accelerated its popularity. Continuous glucose monitors and tests may be used to gain deeper insights into our health.
• Feelings of depression, moodiness, and even heart flutters can be connected to hormone levels. We discuss the complexity of balancing hormones for each individual, as well as how testosterone can be beneficial for both men and women, and how both age and lifestyle factors can contribute to hormone imbalances.
