Prof. Andrea B. Maier - Co-founder of Chi Longevity, Director at the NUS Centre for Healthy Longevity, and Founder of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society - explains why this field matters for all of us.

Your gut, brain, and sleep are linked in a feedback loop - one that can support recovery, or amplify dysfunction.

In a balanced state, quality sleep helps regulate gut bacteria.
A healthy gut reduces inflammation.
And reduced inflammation supports clearer thinking and deeper sleep.
🌀 That’s the regenerative cycle.

But when disrupted - through poor sleep, irregular eating, or chronic stress - this loop can spiral in the other direction:
🛑 That’s the disruptive cycle.

As shared by Prof. Eran Segal, member of our Scientific Advisory Board, this loop is influenced not only by what we eat, but when we eat, and how well we sleep.

❓ What if the true key to longevity lies in your body’s own ability to regenerate?

Dr. Scott Stoll - Physician, International Lifestyle Medicine Speaker, Educator, and Co-founder of The Plantrician Project - reveals that regeneration isn’t futuristic science, it’s biology.

With the right foundation - food, movement, rest, and recovery - we can activate stem cells, repair damage, and extend our healthiest years.

Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia - a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and independence.

While it’s not a normal part of aging, age remains the strongest risk factor.

📊 Here’s what the numbers tell us:
- In the UAE, about 4 in 100 people over 60 live with dementia.
- Despite having one of the lowest prevalence rates in the MENA region, the UAE bears the highest per-person cost of care.
- On average, diagnosis takes place almost 3 years after symptoms first appear — delaying access to treatment and support.

But there’s hope.
✔️ New treatments like LEQEMBI®, approved in the UAE in 2024, can slow progression.
✔️ Advances in AI and blood-based diagnostics are reshaping early detection.
✔️ And everyday choices - exercise, nutrition, sleep, and staying socially connected - can help protect brain health.

This World Alzheimer’s Day, let’s raise awareness, support families, and work together for earlier diagnosis, better care, and healthier years ahead.

❓Is there really a single ‘holy grail’ for longevity?

Dr. Simon Matthews, Psychologist and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, CEO of Wellcoaches Australia and Wellcoaches Singapore, explains why healthy longevity isn’t about one magic solution - it’s built on multiple pathways: lifestyle medicine, strong relationships, cultural connection, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and technology.

What is the true measure of a long life?

Is it the number of years we live, or the quality of those years?

That’s the distinction between lifespan and healthspan.

Lifespan tells us how long.
Healthspan tells us how well.

At the Institute for Healthier Living Abu Dhabi, our work focuses on closing this gap.

By advancing healthy longevity medicine, we aim to ensure that more of our years are spent in strength, independence, and wellbeing.

She highlights how healthy longevity medicine combines precision care, lifestyle interventions, and preventive strategies to help people not just live longer, but live better.
