This Month’s Recommended Book

Super Agers by Eric Topol 

Eric Topol is one of the world’s most respected medical researchers. In Super Agers, he explores how advances in medicine could transform the way we prevent and treat the diseases of ageing.

Drawing on the latest research, Topol examines emerging treatments for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative conditions. He also explains how innovations such as GLP-1 drugs and AI-assisted medicine are accelerating medical progress.

His message is not that lifestyle no longer matters. It is that medical breakthroughs are expanding what is possible. He predicts that, within 30 years, many more people could live beyond 100 and enjoy better health for longer.

For self-employed professionals planning for the decades ahead, not just the next contract, this is a hopeful and evidence-led look at the future of healthy ageing.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this read:

• Why Topol believes we’ve reached a genuine turning point in treating the diseases of ageing
• How new drugs and AI-assisted medicine are speeding up breakthroughs across major diseases
• Why it’s not too late to benefit, whether you’re in your 40s or well beyond
• Topol’s own prediction for how much longer, and healthier, future generations could live

This Month’s Recommended Listen

The Daily Habits That Protect Your Brain At Any Age, with Dr David Perlmutter

Dr David Perlmutter is a neurologist and bestselling author who has spent decades studying how our daily choices affect brain health, particularly the risk of dementia and cognitive decline later in life. In this episode, he explains that memory loss isn’t simply an inevitable part of ageing, but often the result of years of metabolic damage that can be prevented, and in some cases reversed.

The conversation covers how diet, exercise and everyday habits influence brain health long before any symptoms appear, and why the choices made in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s have a direct bearing on how sharp your mind stays in the decades that follow.

You’ll hear about:

• Why cognitive decline is often the result of decades of build-up, not just age
• How everyday habits like diet and exercise influence long-term brain health
• Why knowing your own health markers gives you a greater sense of control
• Small, practical changes that support a sharper mind for longer
