Red light therapy is everywhere right now, but how does shining light on your skin affect your cells? 🔴🧬

The answer comes down to your mitochondria: the tiny energy-producing structures inside nearly every cell in your body.
Research suggests specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light may interact with cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme involved in cellular energy production. This may help support mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production- the energy currency your cells rely on. ⚡

That’s why red light therapy is being explored for areas such as:
• Skin health and collagen support
• Recovery and inflammation
• Muscle performance and repair
• Hair growth
• Cellular energy and healthy ageing

While it’s not a magic fix, it’s a fascinating example of how targeted environmental inputs can influence cellular function and recovery pathways.

True longevity isn’t just about what you take. It’s also about the signals your cells receive every day.

On World Health Day, it’s worth asking: how much of what we believe about health is actually true?

Swipe to see some of the most common health myths, and what the science actually shows.

These aren’t small misconceptions; they shape how we approach our health every day.

Health isn’t just about reacting to problems. It’s about understanding the systems that drive them and working with them early.

Is pollution quietly increasing dementia risk?

Scientists believe pollution may contribute to dementia through inflammation, oxidative stress, and particles entering the brain from the bloodstream.

Your body isn’t just ageing, it’s accumulating damage over time.
Oxidative stress is the build-up of unstable molecules (free radicals) that gradually damage your cells, proteins, and DNA. Over time, this contributes to inflammation, accelerated ageing, and increased disease risk.
It’s not just one thing driving it either. Poor sleep, chronic stress, environmental exposure, and even overtraining without recovery can all push this process forward ⚡

The key isn’t eliminating oxidative stress entirely - it’s about balance.

Supporting your system with antioxidant-rich foods, quality sleep, and recovery allows your body to repair and adapt, rather than break down 🧬

Ageing isn’t just about time passing.
It’s about how well your body can manage and repair the damage along the way.

Peptides: hype… or something more?
The conversation around peptides is growing fast- but where does the evidence end and the hype begin?

MyGene’s founder, Paloma Hatami, was recently featured on The Evolution Partners Podcast to unpack one of the most talked-about areas in longevity right now. 🎙️🧬

In the episode, she discusses peptide therapy through a clinical lens- from the difference between evidence-based medicine and biohacking trends, to why pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing matters, and where peptides may legitimately support healthspan, recovery, and long-term optimisation.

Because true healthspan isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about understanding mechanisms, context, and personalised application- especially in a space that often moves faster than the science.

If you’re interested in how peptides fit into a broader, evidence-based longevity strategy, this is the conversation to listen to.

Could mushrooms help slow aging?

A new study found a compound that extended the lifespan of human cells by over 50%.

Scientists also observed longer survival in aging mice.

Research shows that every extra 1,000 steps you take per day (up to 10,000) is linked to better cardiovascular health!
And the best part? You don’t need intense workouts to see benefits - simple daily walking adds up.
Consistency over perfection is what protects your heart long term.

Bloating after dairy isn’t always random - for many people, it’s genetic. 🧬🥛

Around 65% of adults globally experience a natural decline in lactase production after childhood. This is called lactase non-persistence, and it simply means your body makes less of the enzyme needed to break down lactose.
When lactose isn’t fully digested, it reaches the colon and gets fermented by gut bacteria. The result? Gas, bloating, cramps or changes in bowel habits.

But lactose intolerance isn’t black and white. Many people can still tolerate certain forms of dairy, particularly fermented or aged options like Greek yoghurt, kefir, and aged cheeses, because they contain significantly less lactose.

→ Your genes influence how much lactase you produce 🧬
→ Your gut microbiome influences how well you tolerate what you eat 🦠
 
Understanding both helps you personalise, rather than unnecessarily eliminate.

In our latest article, we explain:
– What lactase non-persistence really means
– Why symptoms vary between individuals
– How genetics and gut health interact
– A full list of low lactose dairy products that are often better tolerated

When we talk about stress, most people think feelings or mood.

But stress isn’t only psychological — it’s a physiological reaction that literally reshapes how your body functions.

Your gut doesn’t just respond to what you eat, it responds to how you train. 🧬💪

Emerging research shows a two-way relationship between resistance training and the gut microbiome. Strength training can increase microbial diversity and beneficial metabolites, while a healthier gut may support muscle recovery, performance, and long-term metabolic health.

This gut–muscle connection matters for healthspan. Muscle isn’t just for movement- it plays a key role in glucose regulation, inflammation control, and ageing resilience. And the gut helps determine how well your body adapts to that stimulus.

The takeaway? Consistent resistance training isn’t just building strength; it may be shaping your internal ecosystem in ways that support longevity.
