Our aim at Optimum Ageing is to extend your healthspan and potentially increase your lifespan as well. Modern medicine allows us to live longer lives. But unfortunately for many of us, our health declines during those added years. At Optimum Ageing, when we talk about longevity, our primary focus is on extending healthspan—and increasing your number of healthy years.

What is healthspan? While lifespan is the number of years we live, our healthspan represents the number of years in which we are in a state of good health and free of disease. In Western Europe, for example, the average lifespan is 80 years old, while the average healthspan is only 65 years. This means, sadly, that we spend up to 20% of our lives in poor health.

But fortunately, healthspan is not fixed. Studies have shown that we can extend it by following a healthy lifestyle, embracing new health technologies—such as wearables, at-home DNA testing, and early medical diagnostics—and adopting the proper longevity supplement routine.
