Ageing clocks, geroscience, and longevity

When does our health equilibrium break down?

Lab models to human trials in Singapore

Japanese are healthier in Japan than abroad

Will low carb, high protein diet help ageing?

Doing medicine before doing longevity medicine

Does hyperbaric oxygen chambers work?

Choosing the right ageing supplements

Empower people to improve their health more

Discover the science of aging and learn about the latest geroscience research aimed at shifting the focus from mere lifespan to healthspan.

Synopsis: Once a month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.

In the latest Health Check podcast, we examine the burgeoning science of healthspan—the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease—shifting the focus beyond mere lifespan. Part of The Straits Times' “The New Age” series, this episode explores ageing not as an inevitable decline, but as a complex biological network.

Host Joyce Teo sits down with Dr Brian Kennedy, director of the Center for Healthy Longevity at the National University Health System, about cutting-edge research in geroscience and the shift from reactive sick care to proactive healthcare.

Brian is a distinguished professor of biochemistry and physiology at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore.

1:33 Exploring ageing clocks, geroscience, and longevity

7:57 Our bodies maintain an internal homeostasis for health. When does this equilibrium break down? 

9:08 Brian Kennedy's transition from lab models to human trials in Singapore and Singapore's global standing

13:36 Study showed that the Japanese are healthier in Japan than in another country that they have moved to

15:27 Will a low carb, high protein diet help me age better? 

18:15 You got to do medicine before you do longevity medicine

23:23 Is there evidence that hyperbaric oxygen chambers work?

24:19 How do you choose the right ageing supplements?

30:31 We need to empower people to make more of their own health decisions
