The longevity boom has us all thinking harder about our long-term health.

However, the more we think about living forever, the more we tend to obsess over our behaviours. Brands are encouraging us to track a raft of metrics using their wearable technology and to take their expensive supplements. Longevity influencers and biohackers are leading us to believe we’re failing ourselves if we’re not up at 5am taking a dip in an ice bath. Perhaps our health anxiety has never been higher? 

Longevity expert and award-winning aesthetic doctor Dr Sophie Shotter joins us to explain the science behind anti-ageing beauty regimes. Nadine Baggott, ITV’s resident beauty expert, brings her expertise on the changing face of the beauty industry.
