Our life expectancies are growing, and it's likely we're all going to live a LOT longer. And that means we need to make changes to the way we live long before we reach old age so we can enjoy a better quality of life.

In this episode, I speak to one of the world leaders in longevity, Dr. Andrew Scott, author of "The 100-Year Life." He's just released a new book, "The Longevity Imperative," which will be hitting Australian bookstores on April 23rd. 

He is a professor of economics at London Business School and he has previously taught at both Oxford and Harvard Universities. His perspective on longevity is simple, logical and sensible. 

We discuss: 


Why longevity has become a buzzword 
The BIG mistake people make when it comes to longevity
What is the secret to a better quality of life in the second half? What can we do differently? 
Finances matter, but saving money won’t solve our longevity challenges directly
Why health is critical
Curiosity is so important: As life gets longer, we get to develop as adults for longer
Social innovation and purpose: The biggest challenge we have is underestimating the capacity of older people
Looking at leisure before retirement
What to do about ageism
Longevity is as important as AI and climate change. We’ve got to adapt to longer lives
Start thinking about how you can help your future self, and how can they help you

Dr Andrew Scott’s book, The Longevity Imperative is available now for pre-order here. 

Prime Time with Bec Wilson is the podcast for all of us in the second half of life (47+) who want to live long, live well, and thoroughly enjoy it. Together we’ll dive deep into what will make this phase of life great, with insights from experts and pioneers. We talk about money, health, happiness, relationships, sex, travel and so much more. After all, there are no set rules for navigating this second half for our modern generations.

One of Australia's LEADING heart and longevity experts has released the TOP TEN TIPS to help Aussies keep on top of their cardiovascular health.

In this episode, I speak to Professor Luigi Fontana from the University of Sydney, about his report outlining 'Ten tips for promoting cardiometabolic health and slowing cardiovascular aging': It's basically a blue-print for living a long and healthy life. 

While many of the tips are well-known (surprise - smoking and drinking are on the naughty list), there are some BIG surprises, which may be the missing pieces of the puzzle for slowing down cardiovascular decline.
