Jabe Brown, founder of Melbourne Functional Medicine , joins us on the Longevity Lounge this Friday alongside the Professor and myself, where we take a deep dive into the power of preventative health.

Jabe, with his background in naturopathy and functional medicine, has helped countless individuals take charge of their health before problems arise—because waiting until you’re sick is not a strategy for longevity.

We explore what tests really matter, what you should be getting tested for, and how early detection can add years to your life. The numbers don’t lie—nearly 80% of chronic diseases are preventable with the right lifestyle and screenings. Yet, shockingly, only 5.3% of adults receive all the recommended preventative health check-ups. Think about that—most people are walking around with hidden risks they don’t even know about.

We also break down the key longevity markers—from cancer screenings to metabolic health, inflammation levels, and cardiovascular risk factors. Did you know that regular check-ups could cut your risk of early death by nearly 15%? Or that simple blood tests can predict your risk of heart disease and diabetes years before symptoms appear? These aren’t just numbers—they’re a formula for living younger, longer.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re serious about staying ahead of disease rather than reacting to it. Join us as we uncover the simple, science-backed steps to making your health future-proof. Because longevity isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better, stronger, and healthier for decades to come.

The “big rocks” of longevity are those essential, non-negotiable components of health that lay a solid foundation for a long, healthy life. These pillars form the basis of maintaining vitality and preventing age-related decline. One of these crucial components is exercise, with resistance training playing a significant role.

Protein is a non-negotiable part of the nutrition equation, especially for those over 50. Protein serves as the building block of muscles, and we must be vigilant about getting enough each day.

Older adults engaging in resistance training should aim for 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, spread evenly across meals to optimize muscle maintenance and growth.

For instance, at 83 kg, I consume over 100 grams of protein daily to support muscle recovery and growth. This approach helps manage sarcopenia—the natural loss of muscle with age.

As we age, muscle mass naturally declines, with most people losing 3-8% of muscle mass per decade after the age of 30. This loss accelerates after 60, leading to a significant reduction in both muscle strength and physical function.

Maintaining adequate protein intake and engaging in regular resistance training can help slow this process, preserving muscle strength and mobility throughout life.

I get asked a lot about my fitness routine these days, especially now that I've hit the big 60! Back in my professional athletic days, all my training was focused on high performance—getting faster, refining my technique, and constantly pushing to improve my skills and speed. These days, my training is more about general fitness and overall health, rather than chasing personal bests.

That said, I’m still competitive, but I channel that drive into other areas, like golf, where I can challenge myself in different ways.

My current regimen focuses on three main areas: cardio, strength, and balance/coordination. While there’s a lot of emphasis on staying fit and lifting weights as we age, not enough people talk about the importance of balance and coordination. In fact, after the age of 30, we begin to lose about 1% of our muscle mass per year, and this rate increases after 50. Along with muscle loss, our balance and coordination can decline, which significantly increases the risk of falls and injuries.

Falls are a serious concern as we age. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, particularly among older adults. In fact, one in three people over the age of 65 will experience a fall each year, and for those over 80, this statistic increases dramatically. In addition to the physical toll, falls can lead to long-term disabilities, reduced independence, and a significant decline in quality of life.

Falls don’t just happen—they are often the result of reduced muscle strength, poor balance, and decreased coordination, all of which are more common as we age. That’s why I’ve made balance and coordination a priority in my routine. By working on these areas, I reduce my risk of falls and injuries, while also improving my overall health and mobility.

Personally, I love incorporating Pilates Reformer twice a week, which helps me stay strong and agile, while also improving my balance and coordination. It’s a fantastic way to keep everything aligned and functioning well as we age. Plus, it's a reminder that staying active and maintaining balance isn't just about looking good—it’s about protecting your body and your future.

My interest in longevity stems from several personal experiences, most notably the recent loss of both my parents and witnessing their suffering toward the end of their lives. It struck me that the average Australian spends approx 10 years in poor health, and that’s something I’m deeply focused on changing—for myself and others.

Too often, the conversation about living to 100 overlooks the more critical issue: the quality of the years we spend on this planet. That’s why I founded with Karl Treacher, the Longevity Lounge, a podcast where I sit down with neuroscientists, health and fitness experts, and well-known personalities—people you’ve grown up with who are still thriving and healthy. We dive deep into the science and practical advice for living well, not just longer.

Through my ongoing study of longevity and the insights shared by experts, I’m still refining my understanding of the key pillars: exercise and movement, social connectivity, diet and nutrition, sleep and recovery, preventative medicine and environmental factors. All of these play a crucial role, but I'm still searching for the right balance and priorities.

Now, I’d love to hear from you—what are the most important pillars of longevity in your life?
