"The idea is to die young as late as possible." - Ashley Montagu

Many health-conscious individuals are now seeking strategies to extend longevity, often through self-empowered trends such as biohacking. The majority of these claims lay unsubstantiated, with low-quality evidence and hype. In contrast, naturopathic strategies and lifestyle medicine can extend healthspan, without tending towards extreme practices. Moreover, simple and foundational factors are overlooked in pursuit of the latest hyped remedy that promises to be the fountain of youth. In this four-part series we will explore how we can improve the healthspan by addressing key modifiable areas.

Join us for this free four-week seminar series, presented by the Integria Practitioner Education Team.

Week 1: Metabolism

Presented by Laurence Katsaras

Wednesday March 5th, 2025, 12-1pm AEST

Is the fountain of youth an elixir that extends lifespan or simply prevents chronic disease? How can we measure ageing, and what is its clinical significance? Herbal and nutritional ingredients are gaining attention for targeting cellular pathways such as AMPK, NRF-2, NAD, and sirtuins. But when should these interventions be prioritised for patients with real health challenges? In this session, we will explore the cellular physiology of health, ageing and chronic disease and provide clinical context to the discussion. We will highlight key herbal and nutritional ingredients and present a practical framework that sets the foundation for the rest of the series.

Week 2: Move

Presented by Sam Cartwright

Wednesday March 12th, 2025, 12-1pm AEST

Research shows that physical fitness, such as muscle and cardiovascular health, are arguably the strongest predictors of healthspan. This session will delve into the mechanisms by which muscle mass, strength, flexibility, agility, and more, are biomarkers of health and how practitioners can leverage this knowledge to optimise patient outcomes. We will discuss how herbs and nutrients can enhance the benefits of exercise and support optimal cellular function, and give practical strategies for prescribing exercise to improve patient quality of life and longevity.

Week 3: Mind

Presented by Emma Van Den Driest

Wednesday March 19th, 2025, 12-1pm AEST

Cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer’s are amongst the greatest fears people have regarding ageing. This session will look at supporting cognition as we age and show how herbs, nutrients, lifestyle and mindset can delay or prevent cognitive decline, including those with an increased genetic risk. In this session, we will explore the next iteration of brain ageing, including adaptive changes in the ageing brain, and look at emerging risk factors such as sensory deficits, the klotho gene and the fascinating area of stereotype embodiment.

Week 4: Macros & Micros

Presented by Nathan Rose

Wednesday March 26th, 2025, 12-1pm AEST

Amongst the heavily discussed diet strategies for optimising health, extensive data exist that supports sensible and achievable nutrition for promoting excellent healthspan. This session will look at the evidence on macronutrients and micronutrients that are important for healthy ageing and highlight when supplementation is beneficial. We will focus on the clinical effects of key nutrients for delaying or preventing the chronic disease linked to ageing. Finally, this session will give context to popular diet strategies touted for life and healthspan extension, such as caloric restriction, time-restricted eating, intermittent fasting, and more. Walk away with clarity and confidence on if, how and when to recommend diets and nutrients to promote healthspan.
