I took a look under the hood to learn what’s behind this longevity science and how are they rebooting an industry. Startups and leading global organizations are diligently at work developing the next level of health, beauty and wellness products, services and treatments-from delivering mass-personalization AI technology to help consumers choose at Revieve, to science-driven wellness at Thorne HealthTech, to curing Alzheimer’s at Genentech-all with investments beginning to show promise.Īnother leading catalyst in shifting the world away from the traditional disease-focused regime in favor of targeting root causes of age-advancing chronic illnesses, is Viome-a life sciences company that has pioneered the field of human gut microbiome diagnostics and treatment. Now add to this mix an explosion in chronic diseases and a growing demand for more Personalized, Precise, Preventive, and Participatory aging therapeutics (the so-called “4 Ps”) and we have a movement.īeyond its potential for profitability, though, the longevity movement benefits from a certain intrinsic appeal: it could be a tremendous positive impact for humanity.
It’s a perfect storm comprising new and surprising discoveries about the workings of the human body, myriad innovative technologies, coupled with an ever-increasing geriatric population.
In other words, maybe we’re doing it wrong.Īgain, like many such watershed moments, this is a story of convergences. When ranking countries for life expectancy, the United States often doesn’t make the top 50-despite having the highest healthcare costs per capita in the world, by far. If just what we know today were fully embraced and actualized, the global economy could also be transformed-and with it, a renaissance of human flourishing.Īnd we could use it. All three comprise parts of a budding ecosystem that is growing into a multibillion-dollar industry on an exponential trajectory to displace everything we have come to understand as modern medicine. In short, all strategies for life extension revolve around a combination of three factors, all working together to fortify health and wellness for a longer haul: 1) things you should stop doing (I have a list which I mostly ignore, you?), 2) things you should start doing (honestly part of my same list), and 3) adopting the contributions of new health and wellness technologies and scientific discoveries that are helping to curb aging.
