Longevity Isn’t Biohacking: What Women Need to Know About Living Well, Longer
Sports scientist Roma van der Walt explains why healthspan matters more than lifespan — and how wearables, prevention, and AI are reshaping women’s health.
Good Afternoon!
Given the Labor Day holiday, I figured I’d give you an extra day to catch up on emails, send the kids off to school (if you’re in New York City, that starts tomorrow!), and ease back into the week.
It’s great to be back — and I’m excited to share another expert interview with you. I’m keeping this one short because the topic speaks for itself: longevity.
It’s everywhere right now — from biohacking headlines to social media debates — but you know me: I don’t cover fads.I cover the science. And I loved Roma van der Walt’s perspective on how longevity looks different for women — from wearables and biomarkers to AI-driven prevention and the four pillars of living well, longer.
Let’s get into it.
SPOTLIGHT
Why Women Need a New Approach to Longevity
I’ve been sharing fewer interviews this year — focusing only on conversations that truly change how we think about women’s health.
This one’s special.
I sat down with Roma van der Walt, a sports scientist and women’s health strategist, to unpack what longevity really means for women — and why the typical “biohacking” approach doesn’t work for us.
Roma shares why healthspan matters more than lifespan, how wearables often misread women’s data, and the four pillars of longevity every woman should know.
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Am I doing enough to live well for the long haul?” — this episode is for you.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
Why women need a different longevity framework than men
The four pillars of longevity that actually matter
How AI, wearables, and prevention are shaping women’s health
