Hello and welcome to season two of Just Breathe!
In today's episode, i'll be chatting to Zora Benhamou, a 50+ gerontologist, nomad and podcast host of the Hack My Age podcast, focusing on biohacking for women over 50. Zora is on a mission to disrupt ageist stereotypes so women in their 50s, 60s and 70s no longer need to say “60 is the new 40” and just show how amazing 60 looks and feels like.
A gerontologist is someone who studies ageing from a biological, sociological and psychological perspective. We know that healthy ageing is not only about diet and exercise. It’s so much more. We look at the whole life course and experiences that occur during this lifetime to see how it affects the ageing process.
We can TURN ON the “good” genes to feel and look younger than we are while preventing certain lifestyle diseases. However, if “undesirable” genes turn on, they can lead to fatigue, weight gain, lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and a shorter health span. Healthspan is how I measure my lifespan in good health, free of disease and full of vitality. We can live to 100, but starting from 40 on we may live with illness, looking and feeling older than our chronological age OR WE CAN LIVE THOSE 40, 50, 60+ LAST YEARS WITH AMAZING VITALITY, INDEPENDENCE and with a biological age much younger than our chronological age.
I empower the modern woman to take ageing into their own hands, slow it down or embrace it by sharing the secrets of longevity I learn from ageing populations around the world. We all have the capacity for a younger biological age. Become the BEST version of yourself." - Zora
