The Longevity Lens: What You Really Need for your Longest, Healthiest Life
Longevity is having a moment. One glace at social media and you’ll be inundated with biohacking tips, complicated IV protocols and extreme diets. But longevity isn’t a fad, nor does it require extreme health regimes. True longevity is built gradually through the everyday choices we make around sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, hormones, and mental wellbeing.The Longevity Lens: What You Really Need for your Longest, Healthiest Life

“Yes, cancer”. 2 words that no one expects to hear, certainly not 35-year-old doctor, with 2 children under 2. Dr Michela has spent her career educating and supporting people to understand and listen to their body. Then the time came that she realised she wasn’t practicing what she preached. She ignored the signs and found herself in the position everyone fears – a cancer diagnosis.
Dr Michela speaks candidly about her experience on the other side of the Dr’s desk and what this taught her about the reality of juggling motherhood, work and a major health issue. She uses this experience to empower others to be their own health advocate – to understand their body, how to recognise and act on the warning signs.
