The Science of Longevity: Neal Mercado on Ageing Better, Not Just Longer

If you have come across the longevity bible by Professor David Sinclair, Lifespan, Why we age and Why we don’t have to, you will know that the real goal is expanding our health and vitality for longer. I talk about this a lot on the show as do many of my guests and experts. I’m joined today by Neal Mercado, the Chief Science Officer at Melrose, one of Australia’s leading wellness brands. Neal brings extensive expertise in product formulation and clinical research and most recently advised on the creation of FUTURELAB, a range dedicated to the science of ageing well. With a background in pharmaceutical sciences and over 15 years of experience in developing innovative wellness products, Neal will answer the many questions on the hallmarks of ageing. In this conversation he also shares the meticulous research and insights of the breakthroughs in cellular wellness that will shape the future of ageing. Here’s the good news, the future of ageing looks bright for those looking to extend not just their lifespan, but their health span and longevity- ensuring we live our best, healthiest years for as long as possible. In this conversation with Neal, I explore the latest ingredients, technology and future of ageing better than at any other time in history.
