But how much of it is backed by science, and how much is clever marketing?
In this episode of The Midlife Rebel Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Furhan Qureshi, an Internal Medicine Physician working at the intersection of hormone health, metabolic wellbeing, longevity and aesthetic medicine.
We explore the growing world of health optimisation, the relationship between appearance, confidence and wellbeing, and the pressures that can influence the choices we make about our health as we age.
We also discuss the commercialisation of longevity medicine, the influence of social media and the importance of questioning health claims before investing in the latest treatments or trends.
**In this conversation, we explore:**
- Longevity medicine and the growing interest in health optimisation
- Aesthetic treatments, confidence and the pressure to look younger
- Hormone therapies, testosterone and libido
- Peptides and the science behind emerging longevity treatments
- GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and metabolic health
- Health misinformation, social media and misleading marketing
- Understanding scientific evidence and recognising conflicts of interest
- The importance of lifestyle habits for long-term health and wellbeing
As we navigate midlife, perimenopause, menopause and the years beyond, it's worth asking what genuinely supports our health and what we're being encouraged to buy.
This conversation offers an opportunity to question some of the messages surrounding ageing, appearance and longevity, and think more critically about the information we trust.
**Because there's a little bit of rebel in all of us.**
