BIOHACK YOUR WAY TO BETTER HEALTH with NICK ENGERER

Cast your mind forward, right to the end of your life. Are you:
A. Riddled with disease, dependent on minimum wage workers at the local care facility (which you’ve paid for with your house, super and pension) eating Deb mashed potato out of a tray… or;
B. Gorgeously wrinkled, surrounded by loving kids and grandkids you can still lift on your shoulders and hitting Nando’s with your mates from Mahjong.
If you chose option A, you’re in luck. That’s the way most of us will go. But if you’re in camp B - you’ll want to tune into today’s episode of Next Of Kin.
In it, biohacker and longevity strategist Nick Engerer and I discuss how to increase not just our lifespan but our healthspan (read: more yay, less tray), and the fact that we’re spending a whole lot of our hard-earned cash on staying healthy and well. In fact, Forbes reckons the global health and wellness market is estimated to grow to a staggering US$13 trillion by 2031. So my question is, with a booming wellness market… why aren’t we more well?
Most people go straight to spending money to make changes. You’ve got the right motivation - you want to be healthier, you want to live longer, you want to make a change - great! But that change is not made by purchasing something.
That’s the biggest mistake people make. Nick Engerer
So if, like me, you want to age as gracefully as an elderly ballerina - with skin that looks perpetually pulled into a bun and enough upper body strength to haul your own suitcase on your frequent travels - you’re in for a treat. Oh, and all those skincare products you keep After Pay-ing? You might wanna rethink those. Sneak peek here…
In the episode, we explore:
* [02:00] The incredible opportunity of aging - chronological, biological, aesthetic aging and more (and why your appearance is an asset you want to take care of)
* [04:30] Body says gym, hair says party! The Bondi-fication of women’s aging
* [07:13] Introducing the longevity mindset
* [12:00] Shifting focus from lifespan to healthspan: how to live better for longer
* [15:42] Say goodbye to health overwhelm and hello to your longevity strategy
* [19:40] Your health dashboard. Need-to-know data and how to capture it
* [24:15] Lost, miserable, exhausted - how journalling can help us track what’s working, what isn’t and even pipe down our inner critic
* [29:00] Test and measure, test and measure. How you are (probably) already biohacking in your own life…
* [32:00] Longevity technologies - how Nick and his company A Longer Life (www.nickengere...) works out what products to try (and where we can all save our $)
* [36:50] Questions to ask before you ‘add to cart’ (asking for a friend who keeps getting served hormone-balancing menopause ads) 🙄
* [41:00] Rapid fire: Sugar, red wine, Netflix binges, Botox, red light therapy, Retinol (hear me leaaaaannnnnn in here) and more - what gets Nick’s tick and what gets a ‘no, thanks’ 🙅🏽‍♀️
* [44:00] Nick’s thoughts on the new crop of weight loss medications
* [46:00] Longevity mistakes you’re probably making
* [49:00] Homework: Find someone in your community aging well and ask them these questions
* [51:00] Where it all began for Nick and why he’s so driven to help us all better use the preventative healthcare tools available to us
