Episode Synopsis

The longevity boom has us all thinking harder about our long-term health.However, the more we think about living forever, the more we tend to obsess over our behaviours. Brands are encouraging us to track a raft of metrics using their wearable technology and to take their expensive supplements. Longevity influencers and biohackers are leading us to believe we’re failing ourselves if we’re not up at 5am taking a dip in an ice bath. Perhaps our health anxiety has never been higher? Longevity expert and award-winning aesthetic doctor Dr Sophie Shotter joins us to explain the science behind anti-ageing beauty regimes. Nadine Baggott, ITV’s resident beauty expert, brings her expertise on the changing face of the beauty industry.Follow Well Enough on Instagram hereFollow Emilie on Instagram here Subscribe to the Well Enough newsletter hereTimecodes:00:00 Live BETTER not LONGER00:41 'Longevity': Just Anti-Ageing Repackaged?01:03 Health Span vs. Lifespan02:22 Skin Vitality vs. Skin Vanity03:23 Our Cultural Fear of Ageing05:48 Celebrity’s Secret Undetectable Treatments07:55 The 4 "Unsexy" Skincare Basics09:07 Dangers of DIY Aesthetics09:48 US vs. UK: Extreme Treatments13:14 Teens & Anti-Ageing17:18 Is Biohacking Just "Male Longevity"?18:46 Why "Women Are Not Small Men"21:13 The Unregulated Wellness Industry23:50 The Dangerous Anti-Sunscreen Trend26:20 SPF & Retinoids ARE Biohacking29:20 Menopause, Misogyny, and HRT41:26 The Best FREE Biohacks44:55 Experts' Wellness Non-NegotiablesMore from our guests:Follow Nadine on Instagram Listen to Dr. Sophie’s ‘Age Well’ podcast Hosted on Acast.
