Episode Synopsis

Biohacking - can we live forever?We sat down and asked, is it possible to live forever - and do we even want to? Today we look at the world of biohacking, the fact and the fiction, and see if there is anything we can learn to help ourselves live a longer, healthier life. We explored the unique world of Bryan Johnson, the Blueprint Protocol and the power laws. As well as the potential dangers of some of the biohacking practices. Preventative medicine, helping patients to identify health issues before they become a problem, was one of the main reasons I started the move towards private practice. However even in the last few years, I have seen a shift from preventative medicine towards more of a regenerative medicine approach with a key focus towards longevity. Before we started to look into biohacking, we were quick to write it off as something that was reserved for the tech guys in silicon valley with deep pockets and questionable doctors. However, as we started to look at some of the basic premises: maintain a healthy weight, get good quality sleep, don't smoke, little to no alcohol, exercise often... We started to realise that there may be the potential for all of us to add a little biohacking to our lives.
