Panel Discussion | The prevention equation: Gut + muscle + brain

Healthspan demands optimisation of the gut, muscle and brain trifecta, which means preventative strategies take centre stage. This panel discussion will dissect the role of diet, exercise and the gut microbiome in shaping long-term cognitive and physical resilience across the lifespan. Taking a holistic view of longevity, we will examine the impact of monitoring biomarkers to assess brain and muscle health, understanding decline indicators, and strategies to rebuild function and prevent further deterioration. Beyond biology, the conversation will consider real-world consumer practices, motivations, and barriers, and what industry and policymakers must understand to encourage meaningful preventive action.

Association Partner: ESPM

The European Society of Preventive Medicine (ESPM) focuses on prevention, healthy ageing and longevity science across the life course, working with multiple stakeholders at the intersection of basic research, clinical medicine, education and public health policy. ESPM is an Oxford based not-for-profit organization established to promote the implementation of prediction and prevention of age-related noncommunicable diseases and to facilitate research to advance the field of preventive, predictive, personalised and participatory medicine.
