What can we do today to set ourselves up for this wonderful second half of life? The obvious answer is eat well, exercise, don’t smoke, sleep well, and all those amazing lifestyle choices we make. But let’s say we are doing these things pretty well, is there anything else we could be doing to help prevent disease and help prolong not just our lifespan but our health span? Host Amelia Phillips and esteemed GP Dr Sam Manger discuss what holistic health actually means, the most important tests we should get in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. They talk about novel new tests, such as genetic screening, whole body MRIs, APOE4, Nutrigenomix, coeliac gene test, BRCA and more).
