Holistic harmony for optimum health | Dr Adrian Heini
10/23/23 • 27 min
To what extent do genetics play a role in our ability to live a long healthy life? It is one of the many questions that doctors at the Swiss medical spa, Clinique La Prairie (CLP), consider when assessing someone's state of health and potential longevity.
The clinic adopts a holistic approach to wellbeing - balancing the impact of inherited predispositions to certain conditions, the role of epigenetics - the environment we live in - along with lifestyle factors that also have a powerful impact.
To explore these and other issues, LLAMA's Peter Bowes traveled to Montreux in Switzerland to meet CLP's Medical Director, Dr Adrian Heini.

The Next Chapter: Genes, gym or a bit of both?
Peter Allison and Peter Bowes – school friends 50 years ago, now contemplating the next chapter in life - return with another conversation about the latest science that could help us achieve a longer healthspan.
In this episode we discuss:
- Are our longevity goals too perfectionistic? We reflect on an earlier LLAMA podcast interview with Dr. Thomas Curran
- A National Institutes of Health study, published Oct 13, 2023 in Aging Cell, suggests even a small reduction (12%) in daily calories is beneficial for wellness.
- Do you have what it takes to live to 100? An article in The Wall Street Journal by Alex Janin suggests, "It's Not Good Habits; Good genes matter more the older you get." How does that impact our attitude towards exercise and other lifestyle hacks to try to optimize healthspan?

As a teenager Chris Mirabile developed a "humble appreciation of life" that turned into a life-long dedication to biohacking and self-experimentation. He survived a brain tumor at the age of 16 - an experience that piqued his interest in longevity research and eventually to the launch of NOVOS, a nutraceutical company that targets the biological causes of aging to increase longevity.
