The Science of Ageing: What Matters for Long-Term Health

from The Energy Equation

Molecular biologist Dr Nichola Conlon joins Oli for a clear, grounded conversation about longevity, cutting through the confusion to explain what ageing really is, and why so much of the wellness space gets it wrong. She shares why our biology was built to get us through early life, not necessarily to support long-term health, and why aging itself sits at the root of many chronic conditions.They explore the widening gap between lifespan and healthspan, especially for women, and what actually changes in the body around menopause, from reduced cellular repair to falling NAD levels. Dr Nichola also explains why many popular “anti-ageing” trends miss the bigger picture.Together, Oli and Dr Nichola challenge the wellness industry’s love of complexity and quick fixes, reminding us that most longevity still comes down to the basics: sleep, movement, nutrition, and managing stress.This is a practical, myth-clearing episode about aging better, without the hype.Simba 👉Oli believes better energy starts with better sleep.
