Description

What does it really take to live longer and age well in a world our bodies never evolved to experience?

Recorded at the Yes To Life Conference 2026 – In Person, 26 September, this fascinating presentation challenges conventional thinking about longevity, exploring how modern environmental exposures, the demands of contemporary life and our capacity to adapt may influence long-term health and wellbeing.

Dr Leo Pruimboom, physiologist, medical biochemist and founder of Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology (CPNI), draws on decades of research and clinical experience to examine the relationship between environmental stressors, brain health, emotional regulation and the body’s interconnected systems. He explores why the evolutionary drive for reproduction does not necessarily prepare us for a long life, and why understanding the pressures of modern living is essential when considering healthy ageing.

From questioning popular ideas about longevity to examining the effects of toxic exposures and chronic neuroinflammation, Dr Pruimboom invites us to look beyond quick fixes and consider how we can better support our bodies’ ability to adapt to the world around us.

For anyone interested in longevity, healthy ageing, brain health or the science of human adaptation, this thought-provoking session offers a distinctive perspective on what it means to pursue a longer, healthier life.
