Ed van Harmelen is the founder of Youth and Earth, a leading supplement company focused on longevity.

He developed an interest in health and ageing after living in different parts of the world and seeing varying approaches. Ed discovered research on the blue zones and hallmarks of ageing, which sparked his passion for learning about extending healthspan.

Through his own experimentation with supplements like NMN, Ed found benefits to his energy levels and health. This led him to establish Youth and Earth after realising existing products did not meet his needs. Youth and Earth has expanded to offer supplements targeting longevity, as well as other health goals. Ed emphasised the importance of lifestyle habits like exercise, stress management, and social connection in addition to supplements. He also stressed personalising strategies based on testing and goals.

Ed's journey demonstrates how personal experiences can motivate learning and building a business to help others optimise their health.

In this episode of Health Hacktivators, Dr. Alka Patel talks about the impact of food on our chances of getting breast cancer.

A study of over 30,000 women showed a 60% reduction in the risk of getting breast cancer by following five guidelines from the American Institute of Cancer Research. One of the guidelines is to eat more plants and fibre, with at least 25 grams of fibre a day leading to a reduction in breast cancer risk.

Additionally, Dr. Patel discusses the benefits of antioxidants in stopping DNA damage, for example an apple a day can reduce the chances of breast cancer by 24%. On the other hand, high temperature cooking of meat releases heterocyclic amines which increase the susceptibility to breast cancer by damaging DNA. Hence, Dr. Patel suggests a transition to a plant-based diet to reduce the risk of breast cancer. To help with the transition, she provides a simple 5-4-3-2-1 rule of thumb to track fibre intake.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• How what you eat affects your chances of cancer
• The three P’s of cancer
• Why you should eat more fruit and vegetables
• How to track your fibre intake
• How to fuel up your fibre intake

In this episode of Health Hacktivators Dr. Alka Patel talks about how important your sleep is.

She discusses how your mattress is technically a sleeping device that needs to be comfortable and supportive as well as how your current mattress is holding you back from having better, more restful sleep.

Collecting sleep data through a smart watch can reveal how much you move during the night, which can indicate if you are having a restless sleep.

By understanding the importance of the surface you sleep on, using sleep data to monitor your movements during the night, and making informed decisions about your mattress, you can unlock your health hacktivation code and improve your overall health and well-being.

In this episode you will hear:

• Why your mattress is a sleeping device 
• What data you should be looking at to improve your sleep
• How to interpret this data to make better decisions with regards to your sleep
• Why you should recycle your mattress
