Anti-Ageing

Anti-ageing has shifted in the last decade from cosmetic to genuinely clinical. The biology of cellular ageing — senescence, mitochondrial decline, telomere shortening, inflammaging — is now understood well enough to be acted on. This chapter is about the evidence-based longevity playbook, not the supplement-industry version of it.

6 takeaways from this chapter.

• The cellular hallmarks of ageing and how each one can be targeted
• The longevity interventions with the strongest human evidence (strength training, metabolic health, sleep, social connection) versus the more speculative ones
• Why VO2 max, grip strength, and muscle mass are the three most predictive biomarkers of longevity
• The role of time-restricted eating, metabolic flexibility, and occasional fasting
• Emerging compound classes — NAD+ precursors, senolytics, mitochondrial peptides — assessed honestly
• How to build a longevity stack without falling for every new thing

Anyone in their 40s or beyond serious about the next 30 or 40 years being fully inhabited. People who've seen parents or grandparents decline and want a different trajectory. Anyone treating longevity as a discipline rather than a vitamin to buy.
