Longevity medicine expert Dr Debonneuil of the London-based Longevity Clinic says modern tech, new medicines and healthy living could help more of us reach the mammoth milestone
We could soon live to the age of 150, medics claim.
They say more of us will reach the massive milestone thanks to modern tech, new medicines and healthy living. Longevity medicine expert Dr Debonneuil said: “If the current trend continues, we could see individuals living to 140 or 150 in good health.
While that might sound sensational, it’s grounded in science and the longevity field is booming because of these breakthroughs.” Dr Debonneuil spoke after a first-of-its-kind study, Rejuvenation Olympics, produced promising anti-ageing results. He continued: “One of the guys taking part is in his 60’s but biologically he resembles someone in their later 30’s.
Some participants halved their biological age within two to three years and have reduced their ageing rate by 40 per cent. This is a significant leap in human history, we now have the tools to age slowly.”
Dr Debonneuil heads up the central London-based Longevity Clinic, which claims to help “high-performing individuals live longer.” With annual membership ranging from £5,000 to £135,000, patients receive “holistic” advice on diet, exercise and de-stress techniques like yoga and meditation.
Staff also promote the use of rapamycin, hailed a breakthrough drug that is said to extend your lifespan by about 20 per cent. It works by tricking cells into recycling and cleaning themselves more effectively, which might stop cancers developing.
The clinic also uses epigenetic testing, which can provide insights into an individual’s biological age and predisposition to certain diseases. Founder Lily Li said: “Longevity medicine has always been deeply compelling to me because it’s not merely about extending life—it’s about enhancing the quality of each stage of life.
By blending cutting-edge medical technologies with personalised treatments, I wanted to challenge the conventional view of ageing – transforming it from something to be feared into an opportunity for growth.”
