[Part 1] Peptides & Longevity: Can We Influence How We Age? | Andrew Rothschild

Loading player...
What if aging isn’t inevitable… but something we can actively influence?

In this episode, Kate Thompson-Duwe sit down with Andrew Rothschild to explore the rapidly evolving world of longevity, biohacking, and preventative health.

We unpack:
- Why modern health is reactive, and how to shift to proactive
- The real drivers behind energy, vitality and long-term wellbeing
- The role of advanced therapies, supplementation and optimisation
- Why most people are waiting too long to take control of their health
- How to start thinking about your body as something to invest in

This conversation opens up a new way of thinking about health — not as something to fix when it breaks, but something to optimise continuously.

If you’re curious about what’s next in wellness, this is where it starts.
Because your future health is being shaped by what you do today.

::: Andrew, a partner at Healthspan Medical and the owner of BUC Gym and SWEAT 1000, dives deep into the transformative world of peptide therapy.
As one of South Africa's foremost authorities on the subject, he shares invaluable insights into how peptides can revolutionise personal health and longevity.
